The idea of beauty varies a lot from person to person and,evenmore so, from society to society.The male kayapo Indians from the Amazon have their lower lips stretched.
They have a round plate fitted inside.This may seem horroble to you,but to the Kayapo it is a sign of beauty.In some parts ofMyanmar, where long longnecks are desirable ,women have necklets- decorated metal rings – fixed roundtheir necks to make them longer.
Some fashions developed from religious beliefs.Rastafarians have their long hair twisted into thick strands.These are called dreadlocks.
The lion is an important symbolin their religios andthe dreadlockes symbolise a lion mane.Many other people , black and white, have adopted this hairstyle simply because they find it attreactive.
The search for beauty in not a modern phenomenon .In ancient Egypt people had their nails,palms and soles of their feet strained with henna , a red vegetable dye.
They aloso highlighted the veins on their temples with bleu paint.Women had their skin lightened with ochre, a reddish-yellow colouring: men had theirs darkened with orangepaint.
Both men and women used to line their eyes heavily with a balck powder called kohl.
We may disagree an what is beautiful but that makes the world a more interesting place. Image how boring it would be if we all looked the same or had the same opinions!
Variety,after all, is the spice of life.
