Yesterday my great mate Maria posed for me for my Goddess painting - a painting that I've chosen to do to match my God Atlas painting that will try to depict the innate strengths and capabilities of males and females. The Goddess painting is also a direct attack against the Venus razor ad LOL I have always found it wierd that marketing directors try and tell the public that its okay to call yourself a Goddess, when a Goddess is an immortal being (mythical or not) and incredibly imperfect (in most their stories about them) yet the marketers try and depict their goddesses ('their goddesses' being the people their marketing campaigns are directed towards) as being perfect.
Yes my friends, you are perfect as you are, you don't have to frollick in the water whilst shaving your already silky smooth legs (tho you can if you want!) You don't have to call yourself a Goddess much like a man doesn't call himself a God (unless he's joking or is a total wanker) I think a little respect for the mythologies of the past is in order here. Let the Goddesses be Goddesses, and let us be mortal humans.
You are beautiful and smart whether you decide to dedicate yourself wholly to raising a beautiful family, juggling the raising of a family with your career, not having a family and focusing on your career, or if you are just living your life and enjoying your days - by yourself or with another. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Anyway that is just my thoughts :D Feel free to express your own!
