What is feminine
beauty? We men are so used to being bombarded by images
of super babes and Bond girls that we could be forgiven
for thinking that is natural female beauty. Some of us
are blissfully unaware just how much make up, hair styling
and fancy lighting goes into producing images like that.
Not to mention the removal of every slight skin blemish
and wrinkle using Photoshop - the modern equivalent of
air brushing so liberally used by glamour photographers
in the dim and distant days when their only recording
medium was film.
However, the increasing number of commercially
successful sites on the net featuring natural women with
body hair (the hairy niche) or who are not in the first
flush of youth (the so called MILF sites) shows that
many men, and no doubt women, appreciate images of real
looking women. This is not really surprising. After all,
people use Porn to create a sexual fantasy in their minds.
Trying to sustain the fantasy of having sex with a super
babe is just not believable by many people whereas sex
with a natural looking women provides a far more erotic
and realistic mental image. |
Fashions change of course and the shaven
pussy or the "run way" cut are now the norm. But a glance
through a 1970's or 80's Play Boy or Men Only will show
that models with a full bush were more the fashion. The
fact that many find this natural look more attractive partly
explains the popularity of sites that feature vintage
porn of course.
I'm old enough to remember the 60's
and 70's when hippie culture was at its height. I
can well recall Afghan coats and student parties where
the potent smell of incense, patchouli oil and weed filled
the air while Jimmy Hendrix's guitar
wailed in the background. So it's nice for a lapsed hippie
like myself, or younger people who favor an alternative
lifestyle, to come across a site like Hippie Goddess.
The images -
Emma and Dave, who run Hippie Goddess, live and appreciate
the alternative lifestyle. They started the site in
2001 because they could find nothing on the net that
featured natural hippie girls.
They wanted to capture the look of hippie
girls, real "earth mammas" as they call them,
with natural beauty and with no deference to the social
or fashion norms of modern, commercial culture.
All the girls are unshaven and they
wear their hair like they want to - long and neat,
straggly, dreadlocks, shaved, whatever - but expressing
their real personality.
There is very little traditional posing
like you get on most sites. Emma and Dave let the girls
express their individuality in each photoshoot by dancing,
exercising, stretching or playing in a stream - whatever
the model felt like doing at the time. This is very
refreshing and makes you realize how a lot of modern
glamour photography is very stylized. |

Summary -
I grew up in England where the hippie lifestyle flourished
in those all too brief years of the late 60's and early 70's.
So I'd like to thank Hippie Goddess for reviving those times
for me. But I can't let you go away thinking that
this site is some kind of retro hippie trip. It's not. Remember
the alternative lifestyle community is small but now more
firmly established, certainly in Britain, than it was
during it's brief flowering in the 60's when to be a hippie
was in many ways just a fashion statement rather than a lifestyle
choice. It is also good to see Hippie Goddess celebrating
the natural beauty of young women, and being brave enough
to come out and openly express this, when so many people
in the so called liberal community would probably condemn
this out-of-hand as filthy, pornographic and "politically
incorrect".
