“Fashion is more than just a material world, is a piece of art that not everyone understand. An art where every detail reflects their own beauty”.

I start growing up and I start to touch and feel fabrics, see how clothe was made, which colors and looks where in the season and to draw pieces that no one has and that where fashionable but beautiful at the same time. I always felt I was doing it right when I wear outfits that not everyone wear because they where unusual instead of using what disney stars use or what other people used.

For centuries, there has been an unspoken code on how women should act, dress, and behave. However, through the years women have started to step out of those roles to embrace who they are truly are. Considering that women are becoming more powerful and successful than ever before, one would have to agree that women no longer stand in the shadows of men in the workplace or at home.

Sensual and emotional attraction usually take place in a familial circumstance; children love their parents in a different sense than they love their pets. Emily Smith, freelance journalist for many reputable publications such as the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, states “Kindness (along with emotional stability) is the most important predictor of satisfaction and stability in a [relationship]” (5-6). If one is not kind to another, the other will reciprocate hostility instead of friendliness. The “golden rule” everyone was told in preschool stands firm: Treat others the way you want to be treated.…

    The notion of a globalized beauty standard will never(by any means) be a prevalent way to pick one common core characteristic of what beauty is or how it is defined due to its grand diversity. What is defined as attractiveness is dependent on the country in which those questions are being asked. The influence of color is greatly variable and shaped(molded) by our cultures, color has the power to either alert us or be a psychological reminder to well-known brands and when we compare color to cultures we define it as demographic.

    After viewing the "Beauty Factory" documentary through a critical lens, I can affirm that beauty contests form an important part of the daily Venezuelan culture. So much so that, if you ask any Venezuelan girl what she wants to be when she grows up, she is very likely to respond, "una miss”. As seen in the documentary, in Venezuela it is very easy to find beautiful women in all places, of any race and social class, and it is not uncommon for there to be as many modeling academies because as I mentioned before, many little girls dream of being misses. But, how much do these participants really go through or sacrifice to achieve their dreams? To begin with, what’s do beauty contests like Miss Venezuela really signify for the Venezuelan people?…
