Undress Me Dress Me

How many times a day do we undress and dress those we see with our own minds eye?

You are wearing far too much makeup, you need more lipstick, you need more hair, you need less hair, change your hair colour, that dress colour does not suit you, and darling has nobody told you that fake breasts are boring?

In a blink of the eye we see, we think, and we play fashion police and style jurors. Well except for the fake breasts…un-breasts…they are boring…case closed…

We undress and dress un-naked and naked looking in the mirror comparing and sometimes swearing at how we look in what we are daring to be wearing.

We ponder upon wrinkles and meditate upon the variances in the form, texture and colour variances in nipples…

We study the piercings and elucidate upon the tattoos…we conjecture on wax, laser or blade…

We undress and dress beauty…appalled by the imperfections…yes we do like brokenness and flaws but those in their own way are tragic…yet beauty…

Why…why…why…are we drawn to beauty? Is it survival of the fittest? Or are we inextricably drawn to a beauty that transcends this blurry universe?

We are restless with beauty…hunting the forbidden fruit…

Undress me dress me by my ideas and ideals…
