In
Egypt today, I see many women with a more conservative sense of dress and
beauty, quite unlike the time of my grandmother.
As I look back at her pictures and I see a beautiful lady who carried
herself with grace and elegance. Her beauty rituals included visits to
the salon every Tuesday for her weekly hairstyling, pedicure and manicure
and perusing fashion magazines from Paris.
She wore bare back dresses in vibrant colors and prints, evening gowns to
concerts and high heels designed and fitted by Pierre Clouvas. The Golden
Age of Egypt seems a world removed from today. Now, due to religious and
social conservatism, beauty seems to be hidden.
What are the changes in beauty that you see around you?
