Fashionable woman's age

[Жар-птица]

Celebration on March 8 behind: (but I would like to talk about eternal youth, women ...

Each of these eras was the concept of "fashionable age", rather, it was called differently - in its prime, "or" the height of her beauty, but the point still remains one - "a fashionable age .

For example, in the so-called "Belle époque" fashion was the age of 30 to 40 years.
Igor Severyanin wrote:
"Your excellency to a three-decade - fashion - age
The body has a universal as a bas-relief
Soul fragrant, carefully hidden in the rustle of silk,
Very convenient for prostitutes and queens ... "
The standard of the women was considered a woman - Flower - slim and fresh, but mature and wise. Young girls seem nice, but not delicious. The girl was seen as a bud, which is good only because it has all the makings of the future of the Flower.

Beauty of women 'Belle époque' more ponderous (in spite of tight corsets, which made the waist sorokasantimetrovoy). It is believed that 30-40 - year-old woman who had married, given birth to children, has developed his own personal taste in clothes and jewelry, has known a secular life, and (sometimes) several lovers, has a right to be called krasavitsey.Chto interesting - in that era, women did not aspire to the rejuvenation and slimming! Conversely, youthful angularity and aborted bust as something ridiculous. Famous courtesans not only left the profession after 30, but acquired additional "points". It is considered normal courtship schoolboy in the 35-year-old aunt (sometimes even their own!)

It may be objected that, well, love to mature ladies stems from the very essence of social life. Young girls are rarely taken to the balls, and twist them a novel - very problematic. They (the young) do not know how to dress properly, skillfully danced skillfully flirt ...
However, for example, in the XVIII century, when social life was no less (and even - more) saturated young person is valued.

Flew in the Gallant Century?
Makeup XVIII century (several layers of powder, rouge and lipstick), as well as scattered over the face flies do virtually anyone vnevozrastnym. Nymphets and grandmother painted the same way and tried to one and the same adventure. Nobody was bothered by the presence of middle-aged empresses - young lovers. All the women "were considered" 20 years!
Mature matrons ordering portraits, knew that the artist would not paint the wrinkles and bags under his eyes. Boucher and Fragonard did not need Photoshop - they had a pink-and-white palette. People were afraid of old age - it was time for them when they would simply nothing to do. Cult entertainment that prevailed in the XVIII century, gave rise to the fear of senility, so our friends of the Empress so long and could not part with the thought of the young lovers.

That in the XVIII century formed a special philosophy childfree. As appreciated very young person (ideal - a girl who had just emerged from the monastery guesthouse), the pregnant lady, who could neither dance nor coyly run around bosquets, perceived as looser-sha. Corset lace up, even when at 4-5 month! And the next day after delivery dragged (otherwise you will not say) for an appointment or to the ball. In the families of French and British aristocrats to the middle of the XVIII century was taken to have 1-2 children (birth to an heir, and - basta). And only in Prussia childbearing was probably the general political importance - there nobles bred properly, supplying the king more and more new Soldaten und Offiziere.

What's interesting - in totalitarian states, too, flourished the cult of youth. But it looked quite different. Heroic Age demanded from a man of youthful lightness, uncomplicated, playfulness. Totalitarian state - the maximum effort and nerves that could afford only very young people. "To the body and soul were young!" In the Stalin era, the standard were young workers - athletes in hruschovskuyu - young students ...

Junior champion, not weighed down with family and the economy may fall from space and fly to the taiga, the virgin lands or to the Far North. Because it is easier to make a selfless fighter, than from any, even the most conscientious "old man". Young idealist breaks for the idea, but the 30-year-old to think about ... Perhaps, then break off, but first - to think about. In addition, young people will be long and tireless work, especially when a song. "Stylish age" of the Stalinist Soviet Union - from 14 (when you can officially start to work and join the Komsomol) to about 28 years (when short on membership in the Komsomol).

In an era thaw conditions have not changed, just the accents were arranged differently - not necessarily a proletarian, not necessarily a swimmer and soccer player. "I would be in physics go, let me teach!" Now the young man gave his life not in a fight with prokulak to save the farm harvest, in a quiet and peaceful laboratory, where all wear white robes, and speak very clever theme. Burn to ashes in the name of the peaceful atom - that Supertask young. 1960 - this time the conquest of space. Cosmonauts can only be young (especially - the first).

Besides youth 60's - this time marching songs, romance, "the old man's Ham and fun twist. Stylish age of 1960 - while sitting around the campfire and despise the kind toilets. As long as you can, as a hero Mikhalkov, after the night shift the day to help their comrades, the quadrille and the girls sing in the subway. Youth 60's it seemed that youth would last forever.

But then came the 1970 and the hero was a man who "over 30". All the beautiful 1970's - it is women who are in favor. They have a sea of problems - they kicked her husband and their children did not understand at work - a silly vice, and even more stupid head, and yet - it is impossible to get a ticket in the Taganka, it is impossible to prove out those unruly children, that the main thing - it is not jeans, and Justice ... Nevertheless, the heroine of the decade - is a mature woman.

1970 - is delighted with the woman, who has a brain. And experience. And in a formal fashion - the attributes of a mature lady - maxi, tall heel, soft lines, furry hats, coats, scarves ... 30-40-year-old is not called "young", she "aged", but this is the age in fashion again. Young 1970 - this is a problem-uninteresting "Nematomorpha" in the run-flat on the hips American pants. Their girlfriends - girls kleshenyh denim skirts with stupid embroidery. They - not heroes, young taken to depict how "headache" of society. One only calling the film "useless" is worth something! By the way, mature and cynical intellectuals of the 70's - these are the most pohodniki 60's. Only they have changed.

Well, okay, let's not boring. Let's see what there was in the Third Reich.
Due to the fact that in Germany, life expectancy was already more than even in France, and later marriage is the norm, several youth "extending", and young enthusiasm-old girl no one especially not embarrassed. Nevertheless, the propaganda was carried out early marriages, which, however, few listened, especially all the same girls. In Nazi ideal of beauty - is difficult. Some authors suggest that it is - young, uzkobedraya nymph (thin prussachka - a virgin). Others tend to believe that this is just not quite young, often parous woman.

Love for youth, and had a purely practical significance - , born in 1920. not breathing gases at Ypres, did not drink absinthe the taverns in the era of dancing, did not go hungry due to unemployment and not standing on the panel because it is still nowhere more! These pure, lovely, carefully grown by Hitler, the young people could give Reich perfect offspring. The Third Reich - is one of the few episodes in history when young people were more chaste than the older generation. To paraphrase the famous saying, "eggs" taught "chicken".

Now go to Versailles to the court of Louis XIV. Let's see what there was in the Baroque era?

If we analyze the expression of the era, one would think only one thing - tired forever. Such a feeling that people all day plowing (or run someone into space), and then they were forced to pose for artists. Languid indifference, coupled with knowledge of his tall position. What kind of youthful zeal? To drag himself! And dancing some pensioner! During the minuet can sleep in a pirouette, I promise.

In fashion were dark (or bright), heavy fabrics, zototo (the more - the better), massive decorations. In such an outfit is not zabaluesh! In general, in this era of fashion were older people who have the habit did not fail in the costumes of gold brocade and earrings weighing a pound. Junior angularity and maiden Bulk considered uninteresting, besides, no one was interested to corrupt young girls. It was much more pleasant fornicate with married ladies who already know where that lies.
Mistresses cast not because they grow old, but because he was tired - swirls around so many good forty years of his aunts!

And now you can run on different ages - a quick look, what is there.
Here, for example, 1920., tired of war, society worn out heels in chalstone and foxtrot. In a fashion - a flat body and the eyes girls mature whore. In general, however, to combine the game of tennis with calvados, and diving with debauchery and dancing till the morning, you must have 20 years of age in combination with an acute desire to "burn" life.

Or this 1960 (West). The cult of youth and the reluctance of young people grow up. If the young Soviet gnawed granite science and built Bratsk, then the West is nothing like that ever happened - the students were on strike, bringing up Patli not like Vietnam. Their girls grew thin, imitating anoreksichnoy chick Twiggy. The mod was pearly pink lipstick, huge eyes and skinny legs.
In the Victorian era valued mature people - even young girls do not look at your chicken age. Ugly staryaschaya hairstyle (at parting), crinolines, old woman casing - all this makes the girl's aunt. Endless "decorum" that have guided the company, quickly turned into a sad little girl chirping "queen of shops", certainly the mother of the family and in the highest degree a moral person. " The whole of Europe, following the early inculcated by the Queen, went to the peevish face, and bowed politely to the hideous crinoline.

Talking about today's too early, however, the trend is evident - the cult of youth, who did not know the Gallant Century, or "Golden 20-e" turns primodnennyh ladies in nastoschih slaves of Plastic Surgeons. Girls do not want to grow old, they do not want to grow up. They agree to live with a twenty person and sixty heart, because the youth for them - this is not a sport and not new knowledge, and the only way to meet otfotozhablennoy cover of a glossy magazine,.

I would argue that, well, love to mature ladies stems from the very essence of social life.

Life, even from the time "Belle époque", has increased. Personally, I refuse to take such mature: D

But Balzac was the novel "The Thirty Years 'woman', then absolutely everything is bad, old age almost came.

P.S. We rapper Seryoga in one song is funny intro, there is roughly like this: - go to town, there are girls. - Come on, just to warn you that I like women over fifty. - Well ..., for fifty - it's not expensive. "
