The Modern Spinster Series #1

This is a 5 part series talking about spinsterhood in the modern age. We number in the millions yet noone talks about us. Sex in the City was very glamourous version. There are lots of sterotypes perpetiating the oldmaid aspect of the lifestyle. Most of the spinsters I know spin records, travel and even if you dare to think it are happy. We aren't as tragically portrayed in novels of Jane Austen's time sent off to be a governess . 

 It's good to keep in mind that being a spinster isn't a permanent thing. You can learn a lot during this single time. One thing I've learned is that life suprises you when you least expect it . 

So let's look at a few Sisters of the Spinsterhood

Jane Austen 

Coco Chanel 

Queen Latifia 

Oprah Winfrey 

Diane Keaton 

Lucy Lui 

Even in my 20s as I was baraged with wedding showers and engagement annoucements , of my nearest and dearest. I thought that this rite of passage would soon find me. No one likes to talk about it when it doesn't happen. I got a cat just one mind you .

Though I am a curvy girl that has never stopped me from getting out there. Sometimes it's really hard to go to an event by yourself . Though I will tell you it's better to take the risk , rather then sit home wondering . " What if I went " 

In the mean time we have been given this beautiful thing called a life. ( I truly want to break into song , singing Prince's Lets Go Crazy ) I'd originally written a very long wordy inspirational speech. Though I think it will be short and sweet kicking things off.  Here at PTB we will take a look at what is truly like to be a modern spinster. I hope we all learn a lot . Most important just know you're not alone . 

LumberSexual Men , There will be Beards

Usually we talk about guy liner here at PTB .
We have noticed men have gone , from metrosexual to lumber sexual .

In my opinion this was born of Duck Dynasty's popularity in recent years. " The Walking Dead" also lets not forget "Sons of Anarchy "  Also the increasingly popularity of Alaskan Wilderness shows. making me remember, dear old Grizzly Adams. Was he a lumbersexual ? 

If you're going to be a Lumbersexual then you must invest in expensive flannels, jeans , suspenders and of course leather boots. Also your drink of choice is whiskey, beer and strong coffee.

There is a burgeoning range of products to make " Beard Enthusiast " look finely coiffed .

 One brand is called Zeus that caught my attention. They offer a large selection of lotions, scented beard oil, and boars bristle brushes.

 Just to name a few of the products this range offers. Everything comes in aesthetically pleasing , man friendly packaging.

I'm a Lumberjack and I'm ok ! 

Yes Simon Lebon was once again ahead of the trend on this one, for he was sporting Lumbersexual as early as 2012 I don't think the British crooner , will adopt the Lumbersexual's lifestyle?

What do you think of the Lumbersexual trend ?
