Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. .. Frida Kahlo's self-portraits, to me, have shown her to be very physically endearing, unibrow and 'stache in particular. But most people I know find visible hair like that to be disgusting. Unfortunately, in the U.S. allowing ourselves to be natural and ~hairy~ would be frowned upon by most the Average Joe, and bring attention of the negative sort to one's mouth and eyes. Actually, I call that way of thinking ignorant. . . ignorant that just because a woman has a little extra hair, she is no less of a woman than someone who is baby-smooth. Being "elephant-hipped" is also considered negative, although Jennifer Lopez is renowned for her lower half. . . but then there's Calista and Jennifer Aniston, going in the other direction. Seems much different from attraction being based on ability to bear children, eh? Ok, this is really off-topic now, but I just wanted to share some thoughts. It's good to know that in Henna Forum, we celebrate the beauty of life, and of individuality! : Hmmmmmmm.... courtesans were more likely to have elaborate facial : harquus patterns than wives in the Medieval Arabic and Persian world . : Their livelihood relied on men paying attention to them... There : was a fashion, 1700's, in Persia where women penciled in not only : their eyebrows all across the middle (common in ME traditional : beauty) and pencilled in a moustashe too if it wasn't growing in : luxuriently enough. Veiled women bring the veil up over the mouth : first when unfamiliar men appear.
: All of these groups cultivated really plump thighs and bottoms, too. : Thinness was hopelessly unattractive. I found two of the dearest nude : pictures of young Turkish beauties.... a medium to petite above the : waist, xxl below the waist, with long hair, henna and a single : eyebrow. : It's very important for a henna artist to try to maintain these : important traditions! Expand those thighs! Grow in those eyebrows!
