Bikini

My first bikini was a very classy yellow lace one that covered the right areas completely, It was very suitable for a mature teenager like myself. It made the statement "Do you know you are beautiful". I just loved wearing it to the park and loved to sunbathe in it. My grandfather bought it for me. Young women used to be treated with dignity and respect and apparel was made to represent the natural beauty of those women who wore their styles. My mother always dressed in style and she passed her values on to me. Unfortunately, the so called women's movement changed our attitude towards young women of today. It is now all about greed, money and power to control women in every way, shape or form. Instead of young women following in their mother's footsteps and fathers making sure that their young ladies are treated with dignity and respect, the young women of today are following celebrities. These women portrayed as celebrities are apathetic and out of control. They project a style against natural beauty with no regard whatsoever of consequences nor values, promoting instant gratification. I am so proud of my parents for bringing me up in a world that made me feel so happy at all times and always enjoying being a woman. As my brother always said, "we are products of our environment".
