To all the Phenomenal woman on this site

H i B e a u t i f u l ! ! Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month ? Well, it is . . . . and that means you and me! I'm supposed to send this to BEAUTIFUL WOMEN . . . . . and you are one of them!!! Facts On Figures : There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and only eight who do. Did you know Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14? She also did not have good hygiene . . . . . Can you believe that? If Barbie were a real woman . . . . she'd have to walk on all FOURS due to her proportions! The average woman weighs 144 pounds, and wears between a size 12-14 (US sizing - 14-16 English). One out of every four college-aged women has an eating disorder. Models in magazines are AIR-BRUSHED - NOT Perfect !! A psychological study in 1995 found that just 3 minutes looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel DEPRESSED, GUILTY and SHAMEFUL ! RELAX . . . and learn to love who you are : You are BEAUTIFUL!!! 20 years ago, models weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23% less . . . . . ~ ~ The Beauty Of A Woman ~ ~ The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, Because that is the doorway to her heart, The place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, The passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman With time, only grows . . . . . An English professor directed his students to punctuate correctly the following words: "WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING" . The men wrote: "Woman, WITHOUT HER MAN, is nothing." The women wrote: "WOMAN! WITHOUT HER, man is nothing!" The Images of Mother 4 YEARS OF AGE Y My Mummy can do anything! 8 YEARS OF AGE Y My Mum knows a lot! A whole lot! 12 YEARS OF AGE Y My Mother doesn't really know quite everything. 14 YEARS OF AGE Y Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either! 16 YEARS OF AGE Y Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned. 18 YEARS OF AGE Y That old woman? She's way out of date! 25 YEARS OF AGE Y Well, she might know a little bit about it. 35 YEARS OF AGE Y Before we decide, let's get Mum's opinion. 45 YEARS OF AGE Y Wonder what Mum would have thought about it? 65 YEARS OF AGE Y Wish I could talk it over with Mum. . . Please send this to all the PHENOMENAL WOMEN you know in celebration of Women's History Month. If you do, something good will happen . . . . . YOU will boost another woman's self-esteem!
