Sunday arvo ponderings

December is here already. How did that creep up on me??? Proudly I can say that the nephews gifts are on their way to Oz, overseas Christmas cards have been written by yours truly and posted thanks to my lovely husband. Next comes the preparation for the work Christmas party. I am a bit of a Grinch when it comes to these things. I really find it stressful having to get all “girlified” and if I going to have to do it I would rather channel the elegance and class of Hepburn or Kelly. I think elegance is so much more appealing than bare boobs and legs. At least pick one to put on show, both is just plain scary. Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly were stunning, captivating women that, for me, exude both femininity and strength. Where did we lose that as women upon our journey? Have we lost it? We seem to spend so much time trying to physically equal ourselves with men and not celebrating and promoting the skills we bring to the table (no, I don’t literally mean the dining table, get over it!) We seem to be keen to push aside our own unique qualities and replace them with masculine traits. Then, we have the gall to expect our men to understand what we want when we continue to demean them and wear away at the qualities that make them complimentary to us.

So, for the sake of glamming it up, let it be to channel the awesomeness that was Hepburn and Kelly.
