You’re Sexy, Get Over It!
“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.” ― Audrey Hepburn
I’ll be the first to admit that I am somewhat of an “inner beauty” snob. Blame it on Oprah or one too many Dove body wash commercials, but any way you look at it, I’m all about the insides. And that, my friends, is why my mind is currently reeling. You see, this weekend I had a conversation that caught me completely off guard: a boy, without any provocation whatsoever, proceeded to tell me all the things about me that give me “sex appeal” and make me “really pretty”.
What on earth?! Now, there are two ways to take this conversation – out of context and in context. Out of context, this guy sounds kind of creepy and like a pig; after all, why is he talking about my sex appeal to my face? But I promise you the conversation was neither creepy nor pig-like, though the context was still shocking to me.

About

It’s an alternative new interview series hosted and produced by Amanda de Cadenet. The Conversation is how we learn, grow and inform ourselves with information to take the next step forward. Once you know the powerful stories I have had the honor of hearing from the women on the show and on these pages, I defy anyone to argue that we are not all asking the same questions about what it means to be female in today's world.
