Hollywood Colored Eyes.

What's up followers?

It's been a while since I've updated you with the thoughts of A Woman's Mind. Please accept my apologies as I was out looking for a story that will hit the hearts of all of you; Men, Women, teens and children. I feel that I must share that while I was out hunting for you, I've come across quite a deal of pain, judgment, humiliation and ridicule. Today's entry is not just about women, and of course not just about men, but the impact that we have on each other and the words we choose that change the way we feel and love. The topic I hardly stumbled on was the age old topic of Physical appearance and a persons physical ability to dodge others passing judgments.

I've come across so many relationships where the significant other is quite neglectful of the others feelings and is boldly confused where to draw the line of honesty and being hurtful.

I don't know about you men, but even though women claim they like to hear the truth, if the truth is hurtful, we'd rather not hear it. No matter how many times she say's "No really, tell me the truth I wont get mad." Trust me, she'll get mad. If it's not at that point in time of the argument, then she will bring it up in a later argument or perhaps spit in your cereal milk when you're not looking. My advice to you is: when asked about physical appearance, be honest, but BE NICE! There's a way to tell her you don't like something with out calling her a cow, a whore or telling her she's not 16 anymore. And vice versa.

Being that this one is somewhat off topic and mildly obvious, I will keep this short and simple.


Women constantly feel like they're being compared to the diva's of Hollywood and will try to compete to stay on top of the trends to make themselves feel hip and glamorous. Although women tend to say, "I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for me." That is a lie. While she may feel good about herself in the fashionable selections she makes, there's always someone she wants to impress and I've gathered this by the way women dress at the gym. I've stepped foot into a Curves (all women) gym and the straight women there, dress like hobos compared to the way the straight women dress when there are men around. Hell, I've passed women who look like they're going to a nightclub at the gym, and trust me, it's not for them, it's to impress someone, because given the choice, she wouldn't volunteer to do this to herself. It's very uncomfortable to exercise with pounds of make-up on, while salon curled hair draping your sweat-covered back like a wind-shield wiper and not being able to wipe it away because you're spray tan or foundation may wipe off. It's uncomfortable and it's not for "us."

An "airbrushed" beauty to sell perfume? This ad says a thousand political, degrading words.
Driving down the street we see airbrushed billboards, skinny anorexic models, clothing companies advertising for "Barely There" clothes, along with the horrible infamous Dulce and Gabana ads that ever so degrade women. The world appears to be colorful but the media tends to paint it in one subliminal color. As victims of media and marketing, we allow fallacious facts to minimize our importance in society as we struggle to try to keep up.

Admire true Beauty, Not Bought.
My closing request, is that we're all a little more gentler with each others feelings. While some may request the truth, it's better to give it to them respectfully (No matter WHAT he/she says) or else you may be the cause of a very BIG complex for the rest of their lives. It's importnat to show the one you love that you love him/her for other reasons other than fashion and size. It give him/her confidence and that warm fuzzy feeling; and it gives you, class and character. And in my book, if you've got that, YOU'RE "IT."
