Oh, boy! I don't blame them. Beauty opens closed doors and does unimaginable things. Who no like better thing? undecided

Some very beautiful ladies don't even understand what due process means anymore because men keep bending and suspending rules just to please them. That's why they are terribly arrogant and have bad attitude.

Men only remember rules when fellow men are involved and get rid of those rules when they see beautiful women. Many men are sick but they don't even know it.
and what are the rules,coz I was made to understand that life got no pattern,we do what makes us happy for the fact it doesn't hurt others

Explorers:
In ancient Greece the uni-brow was considered the sign of purity and intelligence.

It was ideal to have eyebrows that melded together in the middle.

Some women would darken their eyebrows with powder, while others would wear fake eyebrows made from goat's hair.

My uni-brows are priceless.

A Dimple Machine from the 1930s.

In 1936, Isabella Gilbert invented the Dimple-Maker.

The machine consisted of a spring that fit around the face and two tiny knobs that pressed into the cheeks.

Is Dimple a sign of beauty?

I have very deep ones.

During the Japanese Edo period, blackened teeth were popular amongst aristocrats and married women.

Blackened teeth were considered a sign of beauty and the practice helped preserve teeth into old age.

In 1870, this practice was banned by the Japanese government.

Blackening teeth wasn't just popular in Japan, and some people still practice this today.


It was obvious we weren’t meant to be brushing out tooth cause our discolored tooths comes from eating cooked meals which protects the tooth from decaying fast cause decays is caused by moving dust and we can’t stop dust from entering through the mouth but it’s still beautifully sweet that our body is so self protecting self cleansing and self healing that it would never let the dust go into your body, gathers every single dust as it can in your throat, which comes out as cough or sneeze.

In ancient Rome many women including royals would moisturize with the sweat of gladiators.

Whiles of sweat were sold as souvenirs outside the fights. The sweat was thought to be an aphrodisiac.


No waste is a waste

Sweat that comes from passion to kill should be the best of healing antidote

In the middle ages the forehead was considered the most beautiful part of the woman's face.

Many women removed their eyelashes to accentuate their foreheads.

They also plucked their hairlines and eyebrows to achieve a long and oval face.

What lovely forehead you've got....chai

In the 18th century, before invention of hairspray, women would use lard to sculpt their wigs.

One of the downsides is that the wig would become a literal rat's nest.

Sometimes rats would live in the wig for weeks.

Women had to sleep with cages around their heads to keep the rats away.

Imagine cheesy

Impressive.
From the days of Adam, women has been doing incredible and unbelievable things to look beautiful.

All that is done for the sole aim of seeking for men's approval and love.

Respect to women.

Half a trillion dollar industry today.... but probably no single person in those photographs is alive today and even if they were nature will be in full control of their bodies and it won't matter.

The greatest 'much ado about nothing' if you ask me.

Why do a lot of women become slaves to their bodies and incorrigible investors in that diminishing asset.
