As cocktails rolled into dinner, everybody discovered their seats at an extended farm desk festooned with flowers, and GP and LA-based artist Alexandra Grant—the unofficial visitor of honor—started an open dialog. “There’s this concept that we’re not sufficient as girls,” Grant stated. “However magnificence is one thing you possibly can see along with your eyes closed. It’s loving your self, your neighborhood, and people who find themselves utterly totally different than you’re.” GP nodded in settlement: “It’s figuring out along with your entire coronary heart that you simply’re lovely simply the best way you got here.” There was loads of chiming in across the desk—the dialog ranged from cultural perceptions about magnificence to feminism, ageing, and the media maelstrom of sexist feedback over Grant’s hair (she prefers to not dye it). Simply as many questions have been raised as solutions have been landed upon. Our favourite query got here from Grant: “How will we look at ourselves first to ensure we’re not carrying the patriarchy virus?”
