Today at work My Hebrew Friend tried to give me a hard time about being a girl and while my mother would have bitch slapped hi to an inch of his life, I chose to ignore him and think of all the fantastic things about being a girl that I love.
I love when I can dress up in my pretty clothes. Right now it is winter in Philadelphia and I can't wear my pretty dresses with the flowers all over them or the pastel cardigans and leather sandals that fill my closet. I the summer I wear dresses more than anything else because they are so light and airy. I love the ruffles on my sweaters and the way my skirts twirl out when I spin. I love white pearls and my pearl stud earrings that I get once a year from Cathy and Adam. I love the long strands of pearl necklaces that I got from my grandmother and the strand that my mother wore on her wedding. I love that they are so plain and pretty, but still very feminine without being showy like diamonds.
Makeup is another thing that is special about being a girl. As daunting as it can be to put it on sometimes, it's still fun to put on pink blushes or bright red lipstick. I love blush. It's the one cosmetic that goes with everything. Just a shimmery pat of powder that brushes on in a hurry. It's fun to sit in front of the mirror and brush different colors over my skin to see how they change my face. I love my perfume that I rarely wear because it smells so wonderful that I try to save it for special occasions. It comes in a beautiful delicate bottle with a houndstooth etching on the bottom and a silver bow on the cap. Even the label is designed in the most feminine script.
My shower is filled with girly soaps and shampoos and under my sink is a collection of pink bath products that make being a girl feel luxurious. It's fun to take a bath with scented soaps and candles all over the place. I love the different scented moisturizers that I can use and products I can put in my hair. I love being able to decide on whether I want straight or curly hair any day of the week. I love being able to wear my hair down or clip it back or put in a headband or barrette.
Clothing is not only the best part about being a girl. I love the pink and white rose bedspread I have on my bed currently and the soft delicate glow that my paper lanterns create over the top of my mirror at night. The color on my walls is like a gentle sea foam and the white netting is like being on safari in Philadelphia. I love the princess feel that it creates.
Who cares if this post set the women's movement back a billion years, I love being a girl.
