Legally Blonde

So, for this week's blog I will be plugging the spring musical my college is doing.  My school is doing Legally Blonde for the musical this year and I couldn't be any more excited.  It is such a good show with wonderful messages throughout, especially for girls.

Short synopsis (only some details mentioned; for more information please leave me a comment): The main character of the musical, Elle Woods, must find herself after she is dumped by who she believes is the love of her life.  Elle decides to attend Harvard in order to win this boy back but soon realizes that she does actually love law and helping people.  After she is hit on by one of her professors, she questions whether or not she is actually good at law or even smart.  Luckily, with the help of her friends and her new love, she gains her confidence back and shows everyone she is a force to be reckoned with.

Elle believed that her worth was based on her looks and because she believed this, it was easier for people to judge her on her looks alone.  After a while she realizes that she is more than just a pretty face, she has a brain and is worth a whole lot more than some pretty little thing to be admired.

This confidence is what all young women need.  Girls deserve more than to be viewed as only some object for people to admire and control.  We have brains that are full of opinions and ideas.

Never let anyone tell you that you aren't smart just because you are pretty.  You will be underestimated but you must overcome and persevere in order to show everyone who you truly are.  Take the lead of Elle Woods, but most importantly, never believe anyone that tells you that you are just a pretty face.  Be true to who you are and believe in yourself.  Own your confidence and show the world that you are a force to be reckoned with.
