Hating Venus, Hating Her

November 30, 2009  //  Posted by: James Pynn  //  Category: plus size women clothing

What is beauty? Beautiful women seldom get the credit they deserve. This is because the ideal of beauty is far from anything natural or human. To be sure, what passes for beauty in these opening decades of the 21st Century is something frighteningly skeletal and horrific. The full curve of a lovely lady has been destroyed by the pointed hipbones of Madison Avenue.

It’s a tired argument, ok. I can accept that most people rationally know a full-figured woman is an ideal of health and beauty. I can accept that most people suspend their belief when they watch movies and videos and flip through magazines. What I cannot accept is how the two rationales seldom fuse and are seldom reconciled.

On side of the equation, we accept — to rousing cheers — how the concentration camp chic of modern fashion is destroying the lives of impressionable girls. On the other side, however, we seldom do anything to promote a counter image. Indeed, the counter image of a well rounded women untouched by cosmetic surgery is never championed. We tell our daughters to be themselves and then flip through magazines that doom them to a lifetime of self-loathing.

The market for plus sized women’s clothing has increased 30% over the past decade. It accounts for nearly $6 billion a year in revenues. That’s a phenomenal statistic! But, where is the bandwagon? In any other industry, that kind of growth would be met with a slew of competitors and high-profile advertising. Not so in the fashion industry.

It is a nefarious tactic. The first step in making a woman a life-long customer is undercutting her confidence. When she can no longer judge what is beautiful for herself — and more importantly, see herself as beautiful — she becomes prey for any and all forms of beauty care snake oil remedies and fashion cures. Self-acceptance is only something mentioned or espoused when a poor girl has starved herself to death or pushed herself to the brink of utter spiritual and mental collapse.

The demand for plus size women’s clothing is booming. Claim your dignity, and your beauty, and wear what you like, not what Madison Avenue would like you to wear.

Do Men Want To Smell More Like Women?

November 28, 2009  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: plus size women clothing

If you think floral perfume fragrances are only for women you’re in for shock with these perfume fragrances becoming the favourite of the modern man. These floral scents are created with the romantic in mind and who wants to capture that spirit to lure a partner or admirer through creating scents that have organic warm scents.

The perfume industry has always been very consumer targeted with each scent created with a specific demographic in mind. Floral fragrances in the past have only been marketed as a womens perfume with scents designed to attract men. However the modern man is more in touch with his sensitive side and is spending more time and money making themselves look as well as smell good. It is not surprising the major perfume makers such as Burberry, DKNY and Dior are now offering floral fragrances especially designed for men and they are everywhere.

Every year a new scent makes a comeback and this year violet is the scent being included in most of the brand perfumes. This scent is featured in Burberry’s The Beat For Men, Donna Karan’s DKNY Men and also Gucci. Dior were the first to really capture the floral fragrance with the launch of Fahrenheit in 1988 which produced the most successful launch sales up to that time. Still a prominent scent using scents such as violet, jasmine, honeysuckle and carnation making it a strong favourite with today’s youth.A scent by Dominique Ropion’s is creating a lot of hype at the moment. This is a pricy perfume with a price tag of £110 and has a amber, masculine, mint scent. 

Many of these new scents are available at your local high street perfume shop so my advice would be would be to go and explore the different fragrances  and be open to what you might like. Always check online prices if find a fragrance you like as you will most likely find it cheaper or find a discount voucher if hunt hard enough.
