Dare to Bare.....?

I’ve not blogged in a while and something is brewing on Facebook that has got my juices going so I have finally put fingers to keyboard to get something out.

 

So many of you would have seen the “Dare to Bare” selfie for cancer awareness and no doubt you have an opinion. There seem to be two camps with this …. The love it yer camp and the hate it whatever camp.

 

In my opinion anything that encourages woman to show off their natural beauty has to be a winner. We are encourage by media to look a certain way and not have lumps, bumps or spots but what the hell its who we are. Part of what makes us who we are. Women have a natural softness to their skin which should be shown off. In no way should we feel that a photo cannot be seen on Facebook unless we look like we are off to get ratted in town on a Saturday night.  We should not feel the need to comply with the world around us and feel that we can only go out with a full pallet of war paint.

 

Another way of looking at it is, yes it’s a photo but look how many of you are talking about it. Saying its dumb or embracing the idea. At the end of the day it is raising awareness and if that makes one person donate it’s a donation and it’s done its job.

 

A short blog I know but I did feel that I needed to get that off my chest. Women everywhere should be able to post a picture of themselves make up or not whenever they want. Not just because everyone else is. So women have confidence in yourself and love you for who you are.

 

 On another note if you want to donate, donate. If you want to raise awareness and fuel peoples debate post a picture. But remember daring to bare is not just a one off. You can do it whenever….
