But I choose choice and I choose to wear make up, no matter how I'm perceived. Just as I choose not to wear make up some days. Choice is power. I don't think it's fair however, to categorize all women who wear make up as "fucked up". those who prescribe to different ascetics are just as likely to be "fucked up" too.

I haven't read the Beautiful Myth, but now I intend to. And I think a lot of us young women, whether we want to or not get a little lost sometimes. We lose perspective of what's important. I know I certainly have tried to be the "Perfect Woman" a few times in my life. What a beautiful blog post. I haven’t read the Beautiful Myth, but now I intend to.

That's the reason why I originally didn't - because it was what was expected of me. But I'm a "big girl" now: I should be able to choose : ) I know.

Only a little, though... I didn't at all until I was sixteen (last year), and that was because my family didn't want me to. But I thought, "you know what? Screw this. I'm free. I want to wear eyeliner." And so, I do. It's not to attract guys, it genuinly isn't. It's because I personally want to. And I don't think that there's anything wrong with that. The rest of this, though, I fully agree with, 110%. : ) I wear make-up. Only a little, though… I didn’t at all until I was sixteen (last year), and that was because my family didn’t want me to.
