It is the video that has got people – and women in particular — talking.
Television journalist and commentator Tracey Spicer has filmed a presentation for TedxSouthbankWomen taking aim at the extraordinary amount of time that women regularly spend on their appearance and she hones in on the absurdity of it all.
She quite literally removes what she describes as her “armour”. She removes her make-up, un-styles her hair, takes off the restrictive dress she is wearing, ditches the heels and asks other women to consider thinking about doing the same.
It is worth watching and worth thinking about. How could we better spend the time, energy and resources we devote to our physical appearance? The options are limitless. Tracey, we salute you.
