Coming back

Hello world!

 It's been a while since my last post, and I'm truly sorry. I guess I didn't know how to continue (and I still don't know), but we'll see how it works its way through.

 Yesterday I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's again and I couldn't stop being dazzled by the beauty of such a woman. Her air of walking was magnificent, and we as girls have forgotten to be poised--or we simply don't have such ability (I certainly don't have poise or grace!). I don't mean to criticize my gender, but sometimes I feel like some girls give the world the wrong impression of women.

 For instance, there's a girl in my class--let's call her Agatha--and she prattles about sex and how she wants to "bang" some forty-year-old teacher. There is nothing wrong when you approach a subject related to sex, but when it gets a bit out of control is simply disgusting and vulgar.

 Let's admit it, society has set a lot of "rules" that we have to follow, and women are not to be perverts or to know a lot about sex. If a man or a boy hears a girl talking about giving a man a blowjob or "wanting to be a monkey to eat his banana" or something like that.... well, he's going to be impressed--but not for the right reasons. He will probably be shocked that such a girl can talk about it with such freedom and don't feel ashamed. 

 I do believe we as girls can live without a man, and we are enough. I strongly believe that we can be fierce instead of weak like all the movies paint us... but it's seldom that we actually see an independent woman stand up for her rights. 

 I guess this is a huge thing, and we all have different opinions about the matter, but wouldn't it be cool if we could exchange them and understand other people's P.O.V?

 It's a short post, but I couldn't stop myself from writing about it. Tell me what you guys think!

 Have a lovely day!

Hepburn vs. Hilton

                           

 It's not 1960's anymore, and we're stuck in this new world where clubbing every night and hooking up with the cutest boys is the right thing to do. Growing up during the epoc of Paris Hilton was rather difficult because we as girls follow the trends unconsciously, and we all wanted to be friends with the mini Paris Hiltons in our school.

 Throughout my eighteen years, I've met at least a dozen girls who strive to be just like her. Most of the girls in my school wear mini skirts with tight shirts that show the toned belly and they get drunk every weekend because they think that's the definition of cool. However, cool will never open doors for you, it will only introduce you to vices, fake friends and a miserable life. Even though Paris Hilton has changed, her reputation was damaged and she will never get it back. She is the example of a person judged and victimized by society, and this will go on forever because she will never be able to mend it. She made some terrible decisions that define her now.

  On the other hand, growing up during the epoc of the classy and lovely Audrey Hepburn must have been quite rough with trying to measure up to her, but it was sure a hell of a nice time. Audrey was the definition of beauty, class, health, kindness, talent, and, above all, humble. She never let fame change her and she became  an amazing human being because not only did she help UNICEF, but she also helped many girls like me set straight the definition of beauty. Even if she is long gone, spiritually she's in my heart guiding me. She's helped me find the beauty in the darkest of days, and she taught me that beauty was equal to happiness not vice versa. Audrey Hepburn was a classy woman because she never let a man define her. She was herself and she made no excuses; she did not apologize for who she was, and she still had every man chasing her. 

  It's not doing the coolest thing that matters, is doing the classy thing because society is always behind your back and it knows everything, and one day when you're happy with life....society will come and show your black cards. Never let a man define you because you are more than just a girl, who according to them are supposed to be cleaning and taking care of kids. You are a strong, independent woman that needs no knight in shining armour to save you. You are the hero of your fairytale.

 It's up to decide which kind of girl you want to be.

 That Hepburn Girl

    Audrey Hepburn, one of the world's most clichéd fashion and film icons in history. And if you don't know who she is, shame on you. Although she was modest with her acting skills, it's well known that she was one of the world's most successful, famous actresses of all time. She has also been featured in the International Best Dressed Hall of Fame, which is an honour for anyone. Plus, as if she couldn't be more perfect, she trained as a ballet dancer whilst living in three different countries (Belgium, England and the Netherlands), that's what I call a very dedicated multi-tasker. 

   One of her most famous movies, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, although it doesn’t have the most inspiring story line, definitetly sums up Audrey’s divine fashion to a tea. The glamorous alter-ego ‘Holly Golightly’ is a classy, sophisticated, upper class lady with fashion sense sent for the Gods. And it's one of my dreams to re-create that scene, dressed just like her eating breakfast in front of Tiffany's! 

   Anyway, Audrey is definitely my number one role model. Her success refused to phase her and close sources said she still remained sweet and true to herself throughout her whole career. Although she had four ‘loves-of-her-lives’, she remained faithful and loyal and raised her two sons to perfection. She never let fame get to her and stayed humble, never bragging about her talents. Not only did she live a hard life, but she came through it with a positive attitude that makes me love her even more. I didn't live the WWII, and I'm still being negative. She inspires me to be better everyday, even if she isn't here, even if I didn't know her.

           

   The lessons we should take from Audrey, are to dream big. She fulfilled all her dreams, raised a family and although her life came to a tragic end, it seemed she lived it to the fullest. With Audrey watching over our shoulders, we should learn lessons from her life and take them in our stride. We should all strive to be better, to be someone like her. We all should aim to be a classy, humble and kind human being like she was. 

  We thank you Audrey, for inspiring us all!
