A girl should be two things: who and what she wants

Christian Dior Miss Dior ad campaign Spring 2013

What roles do you want to play in your own life and other’s lives?

Do you want to rally on the behalf of underprivileged and impoverished citizens in other countries?  Do you want to make you stance on animal cruelty known by becoming a vegetarian and wearing vegan goods?  Or do you want to revel in your creative side and take on a profession in the arts?

If you are Ms. Portman above, you are doing all of the above and fronting an ethereal, feminine, and utterly romantic ad campaign for Miss Dior perfume.   Natalie Portman has always been one of my favorite actresses because she seems to be truly passionate about her causes like encouraging microfinance lending while remaining true to her own beliefs like furthering her own education when she took a break from acting to attend Harvard University.  I love her quote “I don’t care if [college] ruins my career, I’d rather be smart than a movie star.”

It goes to show that a girl can wear beautiful gowns and admires fashion while also maintaining other interests.  Be yourself and pursue your own set of diverse interests.  Be who you want to be and do what you want to do (within reason of course!)

Have a lovely week!

    Loved the last thoughts you left us with in this post, made me think of things differently. I think the stand I’ve taken as you’ve mentioned in your opening paragraph is a stance against animal cruelty. I don’t wear anything leather or anything made from animal by products, also a (semi) vegetarian. Natalie looks quite stunning in this campaign, I am actually liking the Dior gowns here.

    If you can get into harvard, you’d damn well better go! She looks stunning, as always, is so talented, and clearly super smart. We should all be so lucky.

    It’s nice to know that not all actresses are just about wearing pretty dresses and going to parties! Love her and the sentiments you express here!
