30. Beauty can be such a trap.

Edited on Fri Oct-26-07 08:53 PM by bliss_eternal

If a young lady doesn't get caught in it at some point in her life, it's kind of miraculous (in my opinion). Been there, done that. ;)

Beauty (and not brains) for women are seen as a commodity.
We've all seen the pretty girls that are told early, "you should model." Some focus on that and little else.
I wish more young girls were encouraged regarding their "brain" potential, and not immediately sent off to the big city for acting and modeling careers.

On edit--thank you for ANOTHER book to add to my list! :bounce:
