This one’s dedicated to the ladies in the house; the ladies that have been ridiculed and maligned on account of their outside appearance. The stand-up comic said you’re ugly and should deal with it because you are not alone. As they laughed, he added you should not play hard to get because your ugliness on its own already makes it difficult for guys to even hit on you.
But, listen, baby girl, the ugly duckling turned out to be the most beautiful swan! And in that fantastic Shakespearean play, The Merchant of Venice, when the Prince of Morocco picks the golden casket, he is told in gilded tombs worms enfold. And in the silver casket, Arragon finds a portrait of a blinking idiot! Both men lose Portia because they choose by view. And Bassanio who chooses not by view chooses true and beats the other men to the prize –he finds the desired portrait in a dull lead casket and claims his Portia with “a loving kiss!”
The high school joke goes that a man loved women so much that once when a skirt was tied to the lorry, he run after the lorry! This is the kind of guy for which anything in a skirt goes; the man that will even use a woman’s looks to blackmail her into his bed. Tell the player, “no contact without a contract!” The contract being the ring on your finger, of course.
Besides, the world’s definition of beauty is skewed. The outside beauty’s often fleeting. As Henry Lowe (Nate Parker) tells us in The Great Debaters, “I heard the old, old men say, ‘all that’s beautiful drifts away like the waters.’” It’s only the beauty that comes from the inside out that lasts. That light within. That intrinsic beauty that cannot be bought at the beauty parlour.
Look you in the mirror; see you are fearfully and wonderfully made! The plastic surgery girl has nothing on you; her nose’s slowly crumbling! But you, you have a secret that keeps men awake though they won’t admit it. Because you are beautiful, graceful, delightful and precious. You are fabulously virtuous, intoxicatingly intelligent and divinely arranged for that one special man that’m will soon manifest to be thy wedded husband, and to love and cherish you with an incredibly respectful and sincere love for –to quote Maya Angelou –the “Phenomenal woman” you are!
