Stunning! Reminds me of the best looking of the women in the 1950's (late) and the early '60's. There was a standard copied by Colored women that was mimicked by white women in general society. It sounds like an odd shaped circle what I said, but the relationship between white and Negro women was complex with a lot of dependence coming from white women for identity and release from the enormous strain of the lack of identity and rights to match their projected image.

I know centuries earlier white women were involved in complex relationships with Native women, who lived live's of notable freedom with respect from their men in a matriarchal nation who enjoyed a mobility that white women had never dreamed possible. These are complex relationships influencing today's women that today's young women reap benefits without knowledge. The lack of knowledge leaves telling marks on one's spirit, and thinking processes. An unguarded strength is a double weakness. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.15.14
