Karmen: star power

Beauty will save the world. We've said it often, but today we want to give you an actual example. Our premise is that without women being free to be women we're all in big trouble. The last time female beauty impacted the world in a significant way was the late 1980s and early 1990s. Back then, the world's most beautiful women were household names. Models who were so beautiful they were famous, and so famous they were called "supermodels". They showed the world beauty could make a woman so rich and famous and in-demand that she could be a trendsetter. Before them models were merely marketing tools, used to sell existing trends to the masses. But supermodels set the trends. They put women visibly and solidly in the driver's seat - giving them power not only over their own lives, but over the direction our culture would take. Their frequent nude or topless appearances in fashion shows, magazines, and videos made beautiful female nudity a regular element in western culture in their day. Women who posed nude before the supermodels were generally looked down on by our culture. Playboy magazine had made admirable strides by featuring famous actresses nude. This increased castings but failed to raise our moral estimates of them. It took the considerable star power of supermodels to make nudity acceptable, not just for women, but for powerful women. No longer could a woman's beauty or sexuality be used to keep her from attaining the highest positions in society. Supermodels made celebrity nudity culturally ubiquitous and morally acceptable, and went on to movie careers, to marry the world's richest men, and to start hugely successful business careers. They benefited everyone, not only with welcome eyefuls of incredible female beauty, but with long-needed female success stories. They made the world a better place. Happily, the tradition continues. Today brave models, actresses, and performers regularly post nude selfies on the internet to establish ownership and financial advantage of their own bodies. It's star power that makes nudity morally acceptable. It's nudity that makes women so beautiful. And it's beauty that will save the world. More...
