I was on the subway today, and an obnoxious guy in his twenties was up in arms over "girls who want to look like boys", meaning girls who wear "those oxford flats" and "loose" clothing. I'm assuming he didn't get why all girls do not aspire to look like Kim Kardashian oozing out of a neon bandaid dress; or why ubiquitous amounts of girls don't wear false eyelashes and buy $600 six-inch Louboutins and toddle in them on unevenly paved NYC streets during daylight hours... I'm assuming that he probably doesn't understand or doesn't want to know that "real" girls like KK don't really (off-camera) either... :)
The thing is, women are beautiful creatures (especially without all of those things) and we're lucky: Sure, the icons speak for themselves: Audrey was elfin, Marilyn was sexy, Jackie elegant,Grace: cold and symmetrical and crisp...but I could literally spend hours looking at Francoise and Katharine simply because they were the one thing that many fail to be: they're interesting. Perhaps it's the good looks that are both angular and classic, boyish and feminine, crass and class...the je ne sais quoi juxtaposition that every girl out there tries to achieve..
