Dear Lovestar,
I finally saw the actual news about the polka dots dress, and I have to say I am a fashion lover but do not actually own a polka dress. I am now wearing a long red dress. I am also Cuban, and you do know Latinas dress up, I am currently dressed up in my own living room. I write a lot about fashion, also. I am loving this topic.
The news is that this brave lady stood up to ICE looking fabulous, apparently women want to look like her and there is an awfully hateful debate which helps nobody. In this case, the dreadful debate focused on existing hate for others and not this woman, the news, and definitely, no focus on actions or change.
For me, this is about the power of femininity, and I bet you that Aphrodite was with her for her to look fabulous in tragedy and Athena was also there for her to be this powerful. We, modern women in safety choose the Aphrodite, she however is Athena’s child, bold, powerful, unafraid, commanding.
Sending great vibes to this boss, the polka dot lady, I hope she actually loves the polka dot look.
This lady deserves poetry, also it is the best I can do right now:
Here is a poem for the Polka Dot Lady:
In a world that offers ice
to those left out in the cold,
in a world where masculinity
is a law; there are women just like you
who have the balls that some lack
in the cutest polka dots.
Eyes see you and do not understand
if you were making a stance for peace
or for fashion’s sake. I see a feminine boss
who makes the news without guns,
I see a mother’s warm touch,
I see a wife and a woman of Love,
for only Love makes us go against
the tyrannical world.
Eve
Polka Dot Lady
She knew full well her intentions,
I assume.
She went out with persuasion
in her mind:
"I go out to make a stand"
She might have realized,
though likely she was pissed off
at the cruel state of the world.
But how do you make a stance
in the cold, masculine world?
Ah, wear a dress, make it look good,
bring your best jacket to the test,
do your hair and look your best,
make a statement with red shoes
to then go out and put a pig in its place.
Eve
This isn't about politics
for me,
it isn't about taking sides
to forever fight,
I don't want to look like her,
I only wish to nurture within me
a tiny fire that might resemble
her lioness in the streets.
Inspiration is her power:
If we think she is the dress,
we have failed to understand
femininity.
This is the rage that I feel
in a world where justice
has a birthplace and a cost
and the rest of us
we endure, we defend ourselves
and we request rights
that apparently were not ours to claim
at birth.
Eve
How may you treat a woman animal
when she feels hate within her body?
Bring more force?
Hers was a reaction
to the ways of the world and her stand,
his hands though, are much too close
to her breasts like she had weapons there.
Women are not weaker because
they wear a polka dot dress,
but yes, if they become the dress.
Eve
Watch a woman make a stand.
This is not new, not at all.
Women all over the world
give their lives to deep causes.
But let us diminish her depth.
her rough courage, and her strength,
and reduce her to her looks
and her polished dress.
Perhaps she was the lioness
In the angry, screaming crowd,
but also, she was best dressed,
what makes the news is her dress.
This shows nothing about her:
it is the public who is shallow,
watching drama with their popcorn
and judging women for looks.
Eve
Ode to polka dots (before I read the deepness of the news, I saw polka dots trending and wrote about their style)
On this weekend,
I shall wear
A cute polka dot dress,
My long hair in two braids,
And I'll go out sun or rain
To have fun and decompress.
Eve
I have little black dresses
and little red dresses.
I have long, flowing dresses,
and colorful dresses,
and soft, cozy dresses
that inspire caresses.
But I have yet to buy
a polka dot dress.
One with romantic sleeves
with ruffles and waves
and the interesting pattern
that makes you look its way.
Thank you for reading.
If you would like to voice your opinion on this matter, I welcome the debate. However, I have noticed a toxic tendency for political debate online to be very hateful and never producing any good effect.
Because if we debate someone in that hate, the person will become defensive and not actually listen. No change comes from a debate that is charged with hate. Many online debates are forceful conversations rather that.
Please state your opinion from a place of awareness and I will be happy to read them.
