The Feminine Mystique and Its Body-Dress Connection or The Unsolved Mystery
By Natasha Leratti
Do you ever wonder how to let his imagination run wild about you? How to create that feminine mystique, that will make imagination be over the fence, for that naked shoulder that you show evidence of, for that knee-high black dress that you possess?
Nevertheless, you are the hunter and he is the prey and you decide when the game will go to the next level. You decide how much you like to show him. After all this is your ambiguity at work. The feminine unknown has been the subject matter of many epic poems (Homer tells us in his Iliad that an entire war was fought for one woman, Helen); it has been the topic of some of the greatest sculptures (such as the statue of the goddess Nike); women and feminine has been the subject of the most famous picture in the world (and yes, I am talking about one in particular, Leonardo Da Vinci's and his painting of Gioconda).
Can someone tell me why these women (Helen, Nike and Gioconda) are so famous?
The answer is simple. Let me say a few words about Mona Lisa. She is not the most beautiful woman, at least not by today's standards. However, she has always been the role model of beauty because of her smile and features. For sure it is not because she has blond hair, or artificially enhanced breasts, or anything else that is unnatural.
Very simple!!! She is simply being herself. She is so natural and all your concentration is focused on the way she smiles at you, as if she is winking at you. No one knows why she is smiling, no one knows even if she is actually winking. She is purely playing with Da Vinci. She is inviting him over, she tells him to come closer, she lures him with her bear shoulders; but at the same time she tells him to keep the proper distance. She is the essence, the symbol of feminine mystery.
Now, the obvious question is, how can you, the modern woman, be just like her? As I have tried to understate earlier, the physical appearance counts less than other things when it comes to mystery, (you should look at the goddess Nike she does not even have arms, not to mention the head). For us, modern women, the main thing that counts is the clothes. They are our main unknown factor.
The garment and in the manner in which we interpret to wear it, are the aspects that create the mystery and desire. Everything else is secondary. Nowadays, more than ever, we are trying to find that path to our own femininity. Our main goal, however, is not to impress men, but to feel just the way we are supposed to feel. Shortly after the "The feminine mystique" appeared published in many magazines, women all around the world began to wear pants and ties, now women are trying to re-define themselves by wearing what they should wear: dresses and purses. A dress is not simply a clothing item.
A dress is a time saver that helps a woman to spare time when it is difficult to choose from an entire wardrobe. A dress is the closest friend when you have some minor flaws to camouflage. A dress is the most feminine item from a wardrobe, but it is also fun, too. It gives you the sensation of being young again. Even if pants used to be the symbol of power in the past (maybe that is why women started wearing them), now dresses are the ones that come up front.
A little black dress is a perfect piece when you want to play the unsolved type http://www.leratti.com/designer-dresses.html. Nevertheless, if you wear a dress, apart from the fact that you light a fire in the men's imagination, you get to dominate entirely your partner. Just think about it being only mysterious brings him to his knees; what if you added that sense of self-confidence, which he will feel as power? The world, and not only his world, will be yours for the taking.
