Men groan – all women are just clones. Why? A columnist for Wday.ru expressed his opinion.
Journalist, columnist Wday.ru.
Increasingly, you can hear from young people or already adult men that all girls today are terribly similar to each other. No, this is not cloning. These are stereotypes that have been enthusiastically picked up by the female sex over the past ten years. What do we see? Long hair, rather plump lips, carbon-copy eyebrows, Hollywood eyelashes. Body. The body should be beautiful, fit, like Victoria’s Secret models. But even in clothes, girls copy the same image. Where does this trend come from and what is it connected with?
There were times when young girls wanted to stand out. This is the flip side of typed cloning – being different. We saw blue, green, pink and even bald heads. Piercings, tattoos, leather jackets, etc. These girls, by the way, have grown into quite beautiful women, caring mothers who, with jokes and some enthusiasm, recall this time of finding themselves. Say what you like, they frightened the grandmothers on the benches, but they did not want to be ordinary and similar to others. Singing along to the songs of Tsoi, Zemfira and the Spleen group, in their appearance they also reflected something deeply inner. These were the children of the era of Russian rock. Maybe yes. Not all. But still.
What do we see now? Instagram is full of the same faces, poses, quotes from writers of the new era, who often did not write anything like that. And again, we are not talking about everyone, we are discussing the tendency of the same. Modern girls have changed direction. If even twenty years ago there was a century of rebels, now is the time of social assimilation. This is the pursuit of social acceptance.
The rich, the beautiful, the famous are in fashion.
Both our Russian stars and those outside of us are becoming the ideal. We all want to be accepted, to feel sympathy for us, to enter “our circle”, but what can I say, we all want love. By transforming their appearance to the already well-known type, girls simply protect themselves from “fashion mistakes”. What is it? Feel secure. It’s like the shell of a turtle.
– Yes, I chose the image of Kim Kardashian, – shared with us Nastya M., 21 years old – I have an ugly hair color, it is light ash. When I dyed black, made eyebrows and eyelashes, enlarged my lips a little, they just began to turn at me on the streets. Cars stop, nice guys pay attention. I didn’t feel like a gray mouse. And I also have a problem – I do not know how to dress and pick up clothes at all. I have girlfriends who are simply given! Not for me. So in this I also “consult”: I look at things in the insta, I select the same ones approximately. And you know, all these trainings like “find yourself, find strength inside” do not give anything, everyone is greeted in appearance and clothes.
Until I find myself there, I will be forty. I do not want to wait! Here and now!
But there is also a catch. Matching the image is expensive. And materially, and in time, and in the cost of nerve cells. Remember at least the clip of the Leningrad group – “Exhibit” (“On the Louboutins”). There are girls who enjoy all this, and there are those who walk at home in a washed T-shirt and feel great. But! When it comes out, the hard work of transformation begins. If a young man makes a video call – that’s it, a disaster. And yes, how often a girl from social networks turns out to be the wrong girl at all. Filters, gentlemen, do magical things!
As a result, it can be assumed that such trends will soon pass. A new wave of fashion has already been launched: cleanliness of the face, life without cosmetics. Such photos have already been posted on the network by Cindy Crawford, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Christina Aguilera. Fans of the new global beauty fashion are abandoning bright expensive cosmetics, paying more attention to skin care products. More and more celebrities are making fun of runway branded clothing, comparing it to a hipster sack and grandma’s ranch dresses.
Many experts in well-known magazines comment on the rejection of cosmetics and the similarity with the fact that the female world has become a little obsessed with a healthy lifestyle. If you play sports and monitor your diet, then giving up foundation is the next logical and important step. Such is the deliberate beauty detox against the background of general unloading. But there is an opinion that the rejection of plastic surgery, bright makeup, eyebrow and eyelid tattoos is due to the fact that women, on the contrary, have become freer. They earn more and depend less on the opinion of men. Makeup masks are no longer needed.
So modern cloned girls will soon have to rethink the norms of beauty and fashion.
