Recently, I had a wonderful surprise. I always wondered how I would spend my 30th birthday. Each year I created a new list with a different venue and group of friends to do it BIG for the BIG 30. Well, 30 is here and none of those lists even paled to the ecstatic birthday I experienced. My family flew me to Cabo, Mexico for five, fun-filled days. I had a great time with my family and will never forget my 30th birthday.
Cabo is filled with beautiful people. The men and women alike. I noticed a few things about their culture. The women (except on the beach) were dressed very modest and conservative. Their clothes were not as tight fitted nor did it accentuate their curves. I was forced to focus on keeping my attention at eye level, which is where my attention needed to be. I was able to share laughs about my experience in Cabo, practice some Spanish, and even accept invites to attend Spanish dancing classes. I became interested in their life and culture; more so than how their body looked. And it made me think that more (clothes) is actually better. Women, what do you want us to focus on? If you are showing more and more of your body, that is exactly what we are going to pay attention to. While the media portrays less is better; less is only better if you want MEN to think less of you. But we will think more of you the more you remove our focus off of your curves and onto who YOU are.
