Advice to a Teenage DaughterBy Isobel Thrilling
You have found a new war-gamecalled Love.Here on your dressing-tablestand arrayedbrave ranks of lipsticksbrandishingswords of cherry pink and flame.Behold the miniature armiesof little jarspacked with the scenteddynamite of flowers.See the dreaded tweezers;tiny potsof manufactured moonlight,stick-on stars.Beware my sweet;conquest may seem easybut you can’t compete with football,motor cycles, cars,cricket, computer-games,or a plate of chips.

Example SWEATY
Thrilling depicts the make-up of the daughter in a militaristic manner. The startling metaphor of ‘swords of cherry pink and flame’ demonstrates how cosmetics create an image of power and capability since swords are often ceremonial items, and evoke a superior status. However, this is also a particularly combative metaphor, perhaps suggesting that make-up is used to attack and ensnare a potential boy. Despite this, the ‘pink’ suggests a sense of calmness and femininity which therefore suggests that this metaphor is more to empower the teenage girl than to attack a boy.
