I recently read a survey conducted by Allure magazine and some things really stood out.

Women over 50 are considered just as beautiful as women under 30.  Is 50 the new 30?  Oprah Winfrey, Sophia Loren and Meryl Streep were chosen by respondents as three of "the most beautiful celebrities alive today. 

84% of women felt that men have no idea how hard they work to look good.  I can understand that.  When I look at a woman, I make an impression of how she looks but never bother to think how hard she works to get there.  In fact I feel that women work too hard to look good.  If men can get away with average looks, so should they. 

80% of women say that when they feel more confident, they take more time to look good.  94% agree that the more beautiful they feel, the more confident they are.  What I have also seen that some women take it too far and become obnoxious if they start to truly believe that they are just too beautiful.

And who is hot today among the celebrities?  The obvious names are there:  Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and Jennifer Aniston.
