No More Little White Gloves

Back in the 50s women made themselves miserable trying to be the perfect housewives. They worked diligently in their small domestic sphere and were concerned when they didn’t feel satisfied with just hat. Women in the 50s wore little white gloves. From my perspective these little white gloves are a sign of docile and meek conformists. Just like the 50s I realize that I have been a docile and meek conformist. All this time, I have been trying to conform to one standard of beauty – the Chinese model which I don’t fit in and even if I did, would it make me happier? I think not.

I’m making a new statement: no more little white gloves. Trying to live up to the media’s impossible standards of beauty is ridiculous, spending money to modify my skin tone can become an expensive habit, trying to be pale can be just as deadly as cancer and companies are making too much money off of women’s insecurities. No more trying to conform to someone else’s standard of beauty. What matters most is that I am happy with myself naturally. Beauty comes in all shades and complexions.
