THE PONYTAIL TREE

A Hawaiian friend of mine posted this tree picture on Facebook. Called the ponytail tree. I like.

But I always did like ponytails. On girls or women. Two men usually sit in front of us at church. They're not together. Each has his wife with him. One has better hair than his wife. But still.

But why I like ponytails and hair pulled back away from the face is what they reveal about the face. That is, there's no hiding a bad feature when more of the countenance is exposed.

What's so impressive about the female face (I have no interest in detailing the male) is that there's no set way, no pattern to attractiveness. What I mean is that eye color, nose shape, cheekbones, facial structure, hair color, full lips, not so full lips--none of it can be used as a beautiful template for what constitutes good looks.

Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren, two iconic beauties looked nothing alike. Switch just one feature with the other and that beauty is more than likely destroyed. Yet each in her own right is near perfect with her God-given features.

I bet they'd both be striking in ponytails, though.
