"Pretty International" - Beauty Around the World : Nepal

    Hey Pretty!  So every Tuesday here at " Hey Pretty! " we're going to learn about and appreciate beauty from all around the globe. There is no one solid standard of what is considered beautiful and we can see that by taking a look at woman of many different cultures and backgrounds!

To kick off Pretty International lets start with the beautiful country, Nepal ! Nepal is a country located in South Asia with a population of about 27 million.  South Asian coutries such as Nepal, Inda, and Tibet all use images of goddesses (often with orgins in Greek Mythology) as a reference to femininity. An example of this beautiful image of woman is seen in the depiction of Tara. Tara exemplifies "refined beauty".

  In general fair-skinned Nepalese woman are perceived to be more beautiful (as we will see in a lot of countries). The media plays a huge part in the standard of beauty. Nepali women once traditionally wore clothing that aimed to keep their shoulders and legs covered but Nepali women are beginning to adopt a more "western" style of dressing that's is more body-baring.  Physical characteristics like fair skin and thinness have become important in order to find both a job and a husband. Thinness , at one point, was a sign of poverty but now woman are aiming to diet more and achieve a more slim figure.

One ethinc community in Nepal are the "Tamangs". Tamang women wear tamang lungi, tamang jewelry, patuka, tamag cholo, tamang mala and tamag ghalek.

Another ethnic group is called the Magars. The traditional dress of maragrs usually consist of a dark colored sari with a bright yellow or blue cotton cloth wrapped around the waist (patuka) and a wrap up blouse.

Nepali Woman to me are some of the most gorgeous woman on Earth. At the end of the day we are all beautiful no matter where we come from ! Let's appreciate our different standards of beauty. Until next time, Stay you , Stay classy , and Stay Pretty!

                                                 
                                                   Smooches !
