attention, ladies

Just bought it yesterday

In the article 'It's a Boy Thing', she questions artists like Pussycat Dolls' integrity in portraying 'girl power' by showing off their cup size instead of their attitude, they dress as though to attract men, while they sing songs about how they don't need a man.

Living in the city where every girl looks the same: long hair, skinny, blackberry, cigarette, heels, dressing up to go to malls as though they're going to their cousin's wedding; talking with the same dialects; having the same interests of looking good and being 'exis',
I totally get what she's saying.

women of our generation needs an attitude and authenticity. like seriously.
we need to redefine what it means to be beautiful, loving, yet bold and smart at the same time.

not what it means to others. but to you.
what does it mean to be beautiful, to you and are you comfortable with it?
