The Journey of Sex Appeal

AwakenedAesthetic
In the last century, we began to see an outwardly, unabashed sexual revolution through media. Our rock stars began as rebellious and “fuck you” and, over time, transformed into emotionally active, sensitive and sauced up (bare chested lads and spandex-clad gals & everyone’s singin’ about loooove). In the beginning, we saw movie stars in as early as the 1940s defining what we would later call “Hollywood Glamour.” As decades pressed on, we saw them embrace vivid sexuality and do so in a public light. Technology entered the sexuality spectrum as we progressed into our next era, contributing to what we thought of as “sexy.” At the start of the new century, our celebrities were outfitted in things that were so scant, they required items like double-sided tape…

...Could we be moving into a decade that contradicts completely the one before it? Will femininity (for those who want it) and absence of overt sexuality become overt sexuality? We went from the near-fetishism of teen girls in crop tops and latex to seeing those who our culture considers most beautiful and sexy in full-length gowns, layers, and even suits.

What is the next step in the journey of sex appeal?
