A BACKBONE and can back it up with skill.
Not just plain confident women, i'm talking about straight-up honest women who are just and say things as they are. No drama, no pretention just the TRUTH and the guts to actually put in clear coherent statements. These are the type of women who should be idolized. Do not get me wrong! I'm pretty sure they aren't born such way but the fact that they are able to be so self-conscious and to be able to tell themselves what they are and are not and then just jump into life from a cliff (Metaphorically speaking) and take life as it is amazes me!
Here is one of my favorite quotes:
you can't truly feel joy if you've never known pain. You can't really know what it's like to feeljoy if you've never felt heartbreak. You can't really know what it's like to be filled unless you've been empty. And here's the other thing: sometimes in life seasons don't come in order; instead of fall,winter, spring, summer, we get three winters in a row. But it doesn't mean that spring won't come eventually.

LIVE YOUR LIVES! The bad makes you appreciate the good even more. The good impresses you and you want to reach even higher.
So go get a bus ticket and wander downtown..get inspired, Or randomly select a restaurant on your GPS. (Just a few examples.. you get the idea)
The results might surprise you!
If you feel your gut saying it's okay .. GO FOR IT!! Don't chicken out and believe that some people are going to hate you, dispise you, embarass you, CRITISIZE you. At least you are being true to yourself and furthermore, critisizing is easy, haters are bored! What goes around..comes around. I believe that staying true to yourself is easier said than done (TRUST ME) but it's a battle that we should be willing to take on. It is worth the powerful happiness, pride and belief in oneself. We only have one life to live, so cherish that power you have within and take on the world because, well, let's make an adventure, a journey, a story of our lives as we do not know what is awaiting on the other side!
So here a few of my 'Godesses'
- MOM (Thank you for everything, I LOVE YOU); say it as much as you can, if you love her!
- Kelly Cutrone
- Miroslava Duma
- Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel
- Diane Von Furstenberg
- Martina Sorbara
...just to name a few
So what is sexy to me? A real confidence. A poise in how you adress yourself. An incredible sense of self-knowledge (no one is perfect, might as well just accept it). A desire to push yourself in ways that exceed your expectations. An un-cocky, non-arrogant self-confidence. Knowing who you are and what you can do without being in everyone's face because let's face it you come on earth alone and you leave alone (in an un-depressing way that is :P) so YOU are the only person you have to prove anything to.
