The beauty of the female body. Transformation history

The world is changeable, and only the desire of women for beauty remains constant.
We live in an amazing time when technological innovations have changed a person’s life beyond recognition, but women have always strived to be attractive, and perhaps this remains the same! So if today you are thinking about which lipstick to choose to match your makeup, you will be surprised to learn that 12 years ago, according to archaeologists, the same woman thought in the forest which berry to emphasize her lips: raspberries or blueberries.
So what aspects of the beauty of the female body have undergone interesting transformations over the long period of the beauty industry?
Delicate white porcelain skin since the time of Ancient Egypt and until the beginning of the twentieth century in many countries was a sign of aristocracy and was carefully guarded by ladies. After all, sun-scorched skin was a sign of ordinary women who worked all day in the fields or could not afford expensive umbrellas in cities. Hence the fashion not only for umbrellas and gloves, but also for wide-brimmed hats, veils and snow-white powder or whitewash, which used to include zinc, lead or arsenic, causing many health problems for the court ladies and even leading to the death of beauties. Some resorted to such a barbaric, in our modern view, method as bloodletting to ensure their pallor.
Princess Zinaida Volkonskaya can be considered a revolutionist in the field of tanning in Russia, who appeared at the then fashionable resort of Koktebel with bare arms and legs, causing a storm of indignation that grew into a real scandal when she was denied the right to attend the Noble Assembly for such behavior.
In Spain, under Queen Isabella, the guilty maids of honor, figuratively speaking, were taken by the ear and really sent to sunbathe in the sun, thus depriving them of the opportunity to appear at court until the tan disappeared.
The current state of affairs was blown up by the famous rebel Coco Chanel, who in 1923 accidentally stayed in the sun and acquired a golden skin tone. After a while, tanned models appeared on the catwalk, a new round of fashion began, which we are now seeing: trips to the sea, sessions in solariums, self-tanning and even special injections capable of “tanning” the skin from the inside.
Skin is a large field for self-expression in the truest sense of the word, from 1,5 to 2,3 square meters, and modern women actively use the art of tattooing, which is almost 60 years old.
By the number and meaning of tattoos on the body of ancient people, one could read the whole history of a person’s life, his social status and the main milestones of life. By the way, these traditions are still preserved in tribes far from civilization.
In Japan, face tattoos were given to criminals to highlight their antisocial behavior.
With the spread of Christianity, tattooing became taboo, because it was said in the Old Testament: for the sake of the deceased, do not make cuts on your body and do not inject letters on yourself.
In Russia, at some point, impaled symbols became the lot of people who were serving sentences in prisons, and women of easy virtue.
But fashion is changeable! And on the streets of big cities, we more and more often meet women of fashion with real paintings on various parts of the body. Style icons such as Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Lady Gaga and other celebrities have played a huge role in the rapid spread of this trend, of course.
While the fat dries, the thin dies
This proverb has only now begun to acquire a figurative meaning related to finance, and earlier, additional fat deposits were the key to survival in hungry periods.
The ability to eat a lot of delicious food has long been a sign of wealth for a long time in human history. The elite of ancient Rome, in order to demonstrate their wealth and hospitality, threw the legendary Lucullus feasts, which got their name thanks to the consul Lucius Licinius Lucullus, when his guests ate delicious dishes for hours and without restrictions. To survive such a feast, guests were given special goose feathers so that they could tickle the larynx, causing vomiting, empty the stomach and continue the feast with renewed vigor.
The genius Paul Rubens praised magnificent forms in his paintings, the lively and quivering form of female bodies still delights many fans of painting.
Time passed, and the fashion industry dictated to beautiful ladies its requirements for a figure, either squeezing them in beautiful corsets in the XNUMXth century, then demanding to bare their bellies at the end of the XNUMXth century. With the advent of glossy magazines and Photoshop, perfect chiseled figures of models have become, it would seem, an even more elusive ideal. But modern women are not like that!
Yes, fashion makes bizarre turns, and women, with their inherent flexibility, follow them, but now an era is coming when women themselves, like the great Coco Chanel in their time, begin to dictate fashion!
Having the opportunity to explore the experience of their predecessors, many contemporaries came to the conclusion that the main thing is not blind adherence to the fashionable ideal, but the creation of their own healthy, energetic and attractive image!
