Among the traditional female characters on Halloween, two most popular types can be distinguished: "evil" and "dolls". The first are witches, sorcerers, demons, vampires, and so on - gloomy, often majestic, frightening, infernal, but incredibly attractive. The second is a whole ridge of nurses, maids, teachers, Barbie, superhero women and the like, which unites hypertrophied sexuality on the edge of the foul. The reason for such an accent is simple: this evening can be boldly to dress much frankly than ever in ordinary life, almost without fears, it is irreparable to spoil his reputation. "Holiday of disobedience" for adults is obtained. I agree, it is sometimes great, interesting and fun. But it is impossible to repeat with the plot from year to year, changing only the "wrapping color", while the essence of the message remains the same: "Pay me attention! I am a woman!"
To get away from the templates, I propose in this Halloween to approach the choice of a little on the other side. Let's remember everything we talked about the psychological filling of the image, about role-playing models, examples and summarized images. Often, working on the image, we will create archetypes on themselves on the basis of the inconsistencies found in themselves, preferences, ideas about the beautiful and ... are upset that in everyday life it remains to be content with adapted and softened alluzia, hints, if, for example, we We draw for yourself inspiration in the world of Tomny Virnsi, Crown Infant, Geish, Princesses of Indian tribes ... In this case, modern Halloween is a great reason to play their own perfect fantasy image: to think about the smallest things, including shoes and underwear, pick up makeup, hairstyle, Accessories. Play monospectacle. First of all, for yourself. In addition to the fact that it is interesting (how much new from history and culture you will learn in the process of searching for details of the outfit!) And fun, such experience is deeply psychotherapy: you can meet with the unknown version of yourself, to which they always sought, but they were afraid to "release her out" . Such an experiment can lead to a huge number of discoveries ...
In addition to the above, I have another idea for you - about the back of beauty. As you know, modern women are under great social pressure associated with appearance: the beauty industry, the media surrounding - everyone has the need to be attractive, taped, positive, perfect. As a result, many girls lose their confidence, begin to find out the flaws, feel constant dissatisfaction with their appearance. And, as we found out, even in Halloween strive for all means to emphasize and increase their femininity, sexuality, seductivity. Alternative - Riot. That is the game in the "evil." But not only in slender charming witches in microbics and decolted tops, but in real, terrible, frightening sorcerers. Let the hair be unwitted, zombie make-up - naturalistic, outfit - theatrical-negligent and balahonic. What for? To take a break from "impeccability" and overestimated demands from the side to learn from self-irony to hurt. It seems to me that the undertaking is also extremely useful in terms of strengthening mental health.
Finally, if you do not want to look for any deep benefit in the dressing on Halloween, you can always treat it much easier: like a masquerade with a scope. But it is necessary to play then according to the rules: not just make up the lips and eyes of the brightest and, putting into everything black, try on the rim with cat ears, and invent something truly exciting: an image from pages of fantastic books, from fairy tales, from memorable films . And when the surrounding admiringly ash, you will understand: your efforts paid off by a hundredfold! I just ask: do not take what is clearly fashionable and popular, otherwise you get lost in the crowd of the same girls-in-trend. Just to take for something, so do it well!
Bright holiday to you!
