Creative Boosts: For Women Who Like to Beautify Themselves.

Beauty is everywhere. I find though, that women across the world tend to be a lot more focused on self-decoration, and changing their adornments based on mood and whim and variety, etc. than men are. am i trying to make it some gender issue? not especially, it might be considered one. am i claiming there are not many exceptions? nope, I’m sure you can find lots ( I mean, look at me, I make it a point to be gorgeous ). I’m simply noting a trend in my personal experience, perhaps you’ve noticed something similar…

either way, for myself, i find fashion and self-beautification to be an amazing art form, i’ve often thought i could be an excellent tattoo artist if i chose, and have long held an interest in the practice of applying make-up to chicks (some would say I only use hot chicks but s’matter of opinion…) in photoshop or otherwise (see my friend Josh Mayhem for some stunning body-painting.)

That said, I feel my research skills, media-hunting, and love of beauty may benefit others (and likely women in particular) quite a bit. Whatever the case, I recommend reading any of these links that even vaguely interest you, you might enjoy what you learn. I know I took a lot from them, and so without further ado, here’s a creative boost for the ladies

Because I love creating gorgeous images of women who have been convinced by society that they are past the age of beauty.

And that wraps up the beauty blogging for awhile, methinks. I actually had some more links to go through but had to draw the line somewhere.

Oh, and might as well top it off with a whole bunch of images of women our society considers quite beautiful.
