Have you noticed that within our female culture, less is more? Especially when it comes to fashion! Which leaves me asking, “How much more naked can one be?” And what they do not realize is that they look fat with their boobs pushed up to their chins unless they are one of those models who is a size negative zero. So how many misconceptions of quadruple chins can they present to the camera?
Let’s move on to the latest and greatest of the fashion world, illusion dresses, which are gauze material thrown over the naked body. So light you get the perfect view of the areola and nipple, no peek-a-boo here—next, the lower extremities, which I call the “cooty” area. Yes, I am old. It is a full frontal display for everyone to view, even though they do some cover or pirate patch. Modesty. And lastly is their booty floss covering the crack of their butts. It does help with keeping the dingleberries from falling onto the red carpet. Sorry, I had to say it.
Where is their self-respect when they appear more like porn stars than real stars? Tik, tok, Instagram, youtube, and other social media outlets are flooded with obscene images. What happened to REC, Respect, Elegance, Class among women, and fashion? I am embarrassed for these women because something is missing from them. I know.
I dressed in short shorts and mini skirts, and my boobs pushed up. Not to today’s mountain-high extremes, but enough to say, “look at me.” I had a damaged cog within my brain and how I saw myself. Loving and accepting myself was where the change had to begin. And then to realize God loves me, my heart, and my soul, not the outer shell I am housed within. When you have been through all I have over these past 40 years, accepting yourself is tough. My nose, because of my disease, is structure number three. Some days it is easier to feel like the freak of the week than a woman. I have to work on my self-perspective every day.
One of the things which helps my perspective is not watching the Kardashians, Beyonce, Real Housewife Franchise, award shows, etc. And I stay ahead of it on my media devices; delete, delete, delete! I believe they are playing for the wrong team—the one who owns the airwaves and is the best propagandist of all, Satan.
I love the Casting Crown’s song, Slow Fade. The first lyrics say,
Be careful little eyes; what you see
It’s the second glance that ties your hands
As darkness pulls the strings.
Be careful Satan is not pulling your strings and leading deeper into his ways by utilizing today’s culture and social media. Be careful with what your eyes see and what you read. It is your only way to be the person God wants you to be! If you need an icon for fashion, check out Audrey Hepburn. She did not require nakedness to show her beauty, which came from her inside.
A prayer for you…
May God Bless you and keep you within His care. May He protect your eyes, your ears, and the words that come from you. May you know His love, grace, and mercy throughout your life.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
