Confident Intelligent Beautiful Women

I must admit, I have the most respect for women. Sorry guys, I am a little biased here. Women are emotional and intuitive creatures. As young girls, we play with dolls and their hair which gives us a start on thinking about how we want to look and what we want to say to anyone who will listen. As we go through teen years, most women are being introduced to hormones and years of tweezing, waxing, hairstyling, coloring, manicuring , shopping and makeup. As we grow up we develop good friendships along the way, if we are lucky. These friends become a crucial part in our decision making from clothing to relationships to hair. Women learn to juggle careers, apartments, pets, friends, relationships, children and family as well as constant maintenance on appearance. I am always fascinated how some women do this with great ease. Or at least make it look easy.

Sandra Bullock comes to mind. In her recent tabloid drama, she is faced with the horrors of her private life gone public. Her career is at a high point with an Oscar win, at the same time the news comes out about her husband's repeated infidelity. It sucks that she gave an Oscar speech thanking her husband for having her back, only to find out days later that he really didn't.

She is liked by both men and women audiences. Hard to do. I believe this is because she seems believable and so does her appearance. She has had just a few bad hair choices in the past years but she has always looked natural and pretty without being overdone. She never gone crazy with plastic surgery or makeup. Her style suits her strength and femininity.

Okay, so you ask what is the connection ? Women that manage to look their best through all of life's stages deserve the recognition. Some women get better as they get older. Sandra Bullock has never looked better in her life. She has worked at her career and is a talented actress. She married a man that she fell in love with at 40 years old. Okay so she trusted the wrong guy. Sometimes, even women make mistakes! Seriously, she has juggled all of it with grace and style. I admire her "heart on her sleeve" attitude. I can relate to her perseverance. I think most women can. I feel sorry that she has to live in the public eye through a very difficult time but I know she will get through this probably emerging stronger and better. I think that's what women do. I would also bet that after all of the dust settles and everyone forgets this recent personal drama that she will still be looking great!
