Today I was waiting for the street guy to make me a spaghetti/omlette sandwhich (loving those carbs and may I say have come to enjoy it). This woman sitting on the bench was checking herself in a bright pink compact with gaudy lipstick colors. As I kept observing, a revelation came. It doesn't matter where you are in this world, thoughts of "Is my hair in place?", "Is there lipstick on my two front teeth?", or "Is my mascara running?"etc, etc.. run through the minds of all shapes and sizes, developing nations to industrial nations, even different cultural backrounds.
My fifteen year old neighbor who knows poverty very well, will be late because she has to put lip-gloss on or make sure her shoes match the color of her panya. Very fashionable... and does not want to become like me (with a big butt or her mother who had five children). She likes the "skinny body".
Moral of the story: Importance of appearance and beauty extends all over.
