The American ideal of beauty is not always very beautiful. Many styles of Western dress are so constrictive. The clothes sometimes stick to the body. They scream, " hide your feminine energies and powers, stay put"! Mother womb energy is basically under arrest. Colors are sometimes drab and very controlled. Many of the clothing designers are men, LOL. I sometimes look at women of so-called third world countries. They maybe be taking a trip to buy some goods. But their clothes are bright and vibrant. The fabrics are beautiful. In the West, women sometimes need to have a reason to feel beautiful. But, I don’t want it to have to be a so-called special day to be a vessel of the goddess. I love having a womb. I do not want to be a man, nor do I want to have my expression of beauty designed or fashioned by a man.

Go ahead to the grocery store, looking like the goddess you are!
