The Feminine
Mystique and Its Body-Dress Connection or “The
Unsolved Mystery”
By
Natasha Leratti
Do you ever wonder
“How to let his imagination run wild about you?” How to create that feminine
mystique, that will make imagination be over the fence, for that naked shoulder
that you show evidence of, for that knee-high black dress that you possess?
Nevertheless, you
are the hunter and he is the prey and you decide when the game will go to the
next level. You decide how much you like to show him. After all this is your ambiguity
at work. The feminine unknown has been the subject matter of many epic poems
(Homer tells us in his Iliad that an entire war was fought for one woman, “Helen”);
it has been the topic of some of the greatest sculptures (such as the statue of
the goddess Nike); women and feminine has been the subject of the most famous
picture in the world (and yes, I am talking about one in particular, Leonardo Da Vinci’s and his painting of Gioconda).
Can someone tell me
why these women (Helen, Nike and Gioconda) are so
famous?
The answer is
simple. Let me say a few words about Mona Lisa. She is not the most beautiful
woman, at least not by today’s standards. However, she has always been the role
model of beauty because of her smile and features. For sure it is not because
she has blond hair, or artificially enhanced breasts, or anything else that is
unnatural.
Very simple!!! She
is simply being herself. She is so natural and all your concentration is
focused on the way she smiles at you, as if she is winking at you. No one knows why she is smiling, no one knows
even if she is actually winking. She is purely playing with Da
Vinci. She is inviting him over, she tells him to come closer, she lures him
with her bear shoulders; but at the same time she tells him to keep the proper
distance. She is the essence, the symbol of feminine mystery.
Now, the obvious question is, “how can you,
the modern woman, be just like her?” As I have tried to
understate earlier, the physical appearance counts less than other things when
it comes to mystery, (you should look at the goddess Nike – she does not even
have arms, not to mention the head). For us, modern women, the main thing that
counts is the clothes. They are our main “unknown” factor.
The garment and in
the manner in which we interpret to wear it, are the aspects that create the
mystery and desire. Everything else is secondary. Nowadays, more than ever, we
are trying to find that path to our own femininity. Our main goal, however, is
not to impress men, but to feel just the way we are supposed to feel. Shortly
after the “The feminine mystique” appeared published in many magazines, women
all around the world began to wear pants and ties, now women are trying to
re-define themselves by wearing what they should wear: dresses and purses. A dress is not simply a clothing item.
A dress is a time saver
that helps a woman to spare time when it is difficult to choose from an entire
wardrobe. A dress is the closest friend when you have some minor flaws to
camouflage. A dress is the most feminine item from a wardrobe, but it is also
fun, too. It gives you the sensation of being young again. Even if pants used
to be the symbol of power in the past (maybe that is why women started wearing
them), now dresses are the ones that come up front.
A little black
dress is a perfect piece when you want to play the unsolved type

Nevertheless, if you wear a dress, apart from the fact that you light a fire in
the men’s imagination, you get to dominate entirely your partner. Just think
about it – being only mysterious brings him to his knees; what if you added
that sense of self-confidence, which he will feel as power? The world, and not
only his world, will be yours for the taking.
