She would figure out how to get what she wanted, what she needed, even when her long lashes failed to convince, when her body was no longer young and beautiful. She'd be more than pretty, She'd be strong.

The body fades. A leader who would last relies on more.

Love me beyond words, trust me beyond measure, the result will be a beautiful life together!

I think that the different styles of prom dresses goes along with the strength, confidence and maturity of young women today. They realize that they don't have to wear a ball gown. ... they can wear something that better reflects their lives.

Real beauty doesn't need to starve itself. Real strength doesn't need to be violent. Real intelligence doesn't need to be bragged about. Real women don't need someone to tell them they are wonderful, or beautiful or lovable. Real women already know it! ~Stacey Charter
