In the name of Vanity

I've always had such a good physique and such intense charm that it's difficult to be true to myself.

Lawrence Durrell 

Sometimes, people take their looks just a bit to far. I actually have a book (can't remember the name) that was about a study done on how children progress in school according to their appearance. It was sad to see how much emphasis was put on how a person looked and not what they could contribute!

A Quote About Beauty... are we missing something?

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows; the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."

 Audrey Hepburn

*Isn't this a nice way to think about beauty and today I'm going to try to live that sentiment!
