Be Sexy First In the Spring
In the heart-stirring scene from last year's hit movie 'Barbie', the protagonist, who is accustomed to walking on tiptoe as if wearing high-heeled shoes, feels abandoned by the perfect glamour of the 'Barbie world' the moment she hits the ground on her heels.
As she sits on a bench in the real world, she meets an energetic grandmother with grey hair. Barbie compliments her, saying 'You're so beautiful', to which the grandmother calmly responds, 'I know'.
In this scene, female beauty is a tension that emanates from within, no longer associated with age, body shape, or attire, but simply a person embracing their true self.
This concept is reminiscent of the current buzzwords 'sexual tension' and 'sexual contraction.' The popularity of these terms is linked to the evolution of sexiness throughout history. In the past, sexiness was often associated with a perfect body or seductive posture.
However, in recent years, the concept of sexiness has evolved into something more abstract and difficult to define.
How much bondage do you have in the name of false thou, sexy?
To clarify the meaning of 'sexy', it is important to explain what it is not.
'Sexy' is not related to physical appearance. With the increasing popularity of intellectualism, the concept of 'intellectual romance' has become well-known. In fact, OkCupid, the largest dating site in the United States, has included 'intellectual romance' as an option for sexual orientation, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality.
Sex appeal is not necessarily linked to beauty or goodness. In certain classic films and TV shows, female characters who are assertive, seemingly less intelligent, disobedient, or ambitious are considered sexy and powerful because they are more realistic and three-dimensional, despite their flaws.
Sexiness is not related to health. "No matter what challenges she faces, a woman can embrace her sex appeal at any stage of her journey." It is more about the strength of one's spirit and willpower.
Sexiness is not solely based on physical appearance or gender. A woman's sexiness is reflected in how she lives her life, her self-acceptance, and her diverse and expansive vitality. Sex appeal should not be a static object for people to admire, but a dynamic force that spreads across the grassland and dances with the wind.
Honoring the vibrancy of women
One of the attitudes of women's search for freedom is "Let the body be free first," which makes freedom a concrete aspect of people's everyday lives. According to Beauvoir, "A woman's concern for her own beauty enables her to occupy herself... . whereby she chooses and recreates herself."
To honor sensuality, to celebrate your lyrical, diversified, and dynamic life, or to laud you like a rose or the rhythms of light and shadow that dance with the wind in the meadow are just a few ways to stand with women on this holiday that is rightfully theirs.
It's springtime, time to let your hair down and let loose.
