Sexiness

I have always been different on what I thought made women sexy. My heros have spanned across the decades from the independent flappers of the 1920s to the housewives of the 1950s. I mostly like the 1920s through the 1950s, but there are things that I appreciate from the other decades as well.  I just seems to me that the women in the time period had something that made them beautiful and sexy. I love the independence and the rebellion of the flappers in the 1920s. they were very womanly yet they would go out and dance with "short" skirts and vamp around with men and smoke and drink. Yet I also love the 1940s women helping in the war effort actually having jobs other than a secretary or grade school teacher. They were tough and strong. The 1950s women, I love their ties to the home and the family. How were always cooking and smiling and taking care of their kids. They were the perfect little wives who had every meal ready with the perfectly cleaned and decorated little homes.

The flapper- They would have short "boy-cut" hair which was usually curly. They would draw their eyebrows longer and slanting down, have very dark smokey eyes and only put lipstick on the very center of their lips and extend their lip-line lower and higher to make them look puffy and voluptuous.

Defined by dancing and hanging out with some bootlegger. Drinking and laughing, I feel they are the ultimate have fun girl. The girl who wasn't serious and who any man would love to be around. They got all dressed up and go to an "illegal" club and do some "illegal" drinking. They would wear baggy clothes and lots of ostentatious jewelry. I love the care-free and the fun loving nature of the flapper.

She's a W.O.W. (Woman Ordnance Worker)-

Well the picture says it all. Tiny waist, beautiful face and a hard worker. What more could any man ask for? She has a purpose and determination. She is smart and strong, yet caring and womanly. Going to work and still looking great. (Which I even find difficult to do)

I feel that the sexiness thing about the  1940s woman is that they proved that they could do the jobs that men could do. They didn't have to be a secretary or a school teacher. They were able to work hard while still being very feminine. Boots during the day and heels at night. This makes the insult, "Your mother wears army boots" a complement.

The 1950s House Wife

Make breakfast, make lunches for the kids, make lunch for the husband, get the kids off to school, do dishes, clean the house, vacuum the house, wash the windows, do laundry, go grocery shopping, have a quick lunch, start preparing for dinner, make kids do their homework, finish dinner, eat dinner, clean up, do dishes, put kids to bed, clean, read, ****, sleep, repeat.

All with a smile and a beautiful dress.

Tough. I think the most awesome thing about this kind of woman is her organization and time management, and her beauty and happiness while doing it. When I have to take care of the puppy, clean and do the dishes I nearly have a break down not to mention I look like crap in the process. Out of most every job this is probably the most difficult. 

In conclusion:

There is more than looking pretty to being sexy. But it doesn't hurt to look good while conquering the world.
