women and facial hair what do you think?

facial hair is a considered a mark of handsomeness in men, and removal of facial hair is considered as something that contributes to a women's beauty. after well asking around both men and women on the subject of facial hair namely beards on women, I got answers like disgusting, ewww... total fashion no no. but i guess unless you are a feminist or a naturalist or some one making a political statement or belong to a cult of people where you cant shave you wouldnt want to have a beard , would you girls.
i wouldnt... because it would be standing out.

anyways why am i bringing this up... its coz because i want to talk about a beautiful seductress goddess that has been portrayed in our history books, movies and cartoons and novels. cleopratra.
she is one of the worlds most influential women of her time and most beautiful apparently. and guess what? a known fact is she wore a beard too occasionally of course. so next time some guy complain about a girl having beard well tell that its a cleo trend.

you dont believe me??? heres why she wore it.

in ancient Egyptian time, the pharaohs were considered divine and they resembled the supreme power aka GODs.

As a reminder to his people of his divine birthright, Pharaoh would wear certain stuff:

Pharaoh would wear a false beard made from goat's hair. This would be worn during festivals and public appearances, and would identify the king with Osiris.

In one hand he would hold a sceptre in the form of a shepherd's crook known as a Heka (meaning "ruler" and also associated with magic). This symbolised Pharaoh's guiding and reassuring nature.

In the other hand he would hold a fly whip called the Nekhakha, a symbol of his power and authority.

He would also wear the Shemset apron and his back would be protected by a bull's tail hanging from his belt (a symbol of strength).

as we all know that Cleopatra was once a ruler queen of Egypt, she went as far as wearing the goat hair ceremonial beard...

so its not such a bad idea for females to grow facial hair ... occasionaly.

Acrophobia

photo by shaari

Acrophobia is the extreme fear of height often confused with vertigo. While vertigo is a balance disorder that is often related to ear; acrophobia is more of a psychological thing that belongs to specific group of phobias related to space and motion discomfort. The sufferer is in danger as it might lead to panic attacks.

For different people the tolerance levels differ. For some the standing or climbing a building that of a certain height might trigger the attacks while for others at a mere height of climbing a chair might trigger it. This is a serious kind of phobia that can cause lots of obstacles in performing everyday activities. There have been extreme cases when a person who suffers from acrophobia may refuse to leave home (becoming agoraphobic) since they might have to face activities that involves working at heights.

All of us feel a mild discomfort at a certain height, and its not only limited to humans - animals exhibit this phobia too. While some believe that this is an inborn trait, the most likable cause and according to etiological studies is that it becomes uncontrollable usually after a traumatic incident that might have been caused in early childhood since experiments using visual cliffs had shown that we all are born with a certain degree of cautiousness at different heights to ensure that we do not fall which makes us agree on the traumatic incident theory.

An explanation I got for what causes this fear of height before after searching the internet (asking know it all aka Google) is that at certain height the person somewhat doesn’t rely on the natural sense of balance and instead rely on what we see while at that height. This usually can lead to vertigo and vomiting. At heights each of our movement requires more than that of the normal visual processing hence it becomes overloaded leading to confusion hence panic attacks.

While exposure treatment is one of those that may help an acrophobic it is sometimes stupid to advise upon it hence the fear might have been caused by a balance disorder. In exposure therapy the person is subjected to different height using a virtual reality system. However there are also cases in which mild cases can be treated with psychiatric medications like anti depressants. But honestly these may do more harm than good. till a more suitable treatment that is effective is found I will stick to the close you eyes and relax technique which works for MOST OF US SOMETIMES and but the best is to avoid heights.

"Yeah I suffer from acrophobia, the picture on the top of the post it self scares me enough to not look at it too long "
