Mae West

I really admire strong powerful women who just don't care what others think about them. It lets me know, its okay to not worry about impressing others. As long as you are doing & saying what you want, then everything is fine.

One of the most profound confident women ever to have graced this earth was Mae West. Mae West was one of the top actresses of her time in the 20's She was best known for always playing the dominating female leads. She was both dominating on film and in real life. She was a force to be reckoned with. Her thoughts were provacative and yet at the same time very honest. I admire her strength and openness about her sexuality and being a woman.

Here are some of my favorite quotes by her; Enjoy!

• It's not the men in my life that count, it's the life in my men.
• It's all right for a perfect stranger to kiss your hand as long as he's perfect.
