What a difference a year or so makes! Not only has our dear teacher gotten smoother in her delivery of the lessons (and is using a better webcam), but her eye makeup has become, what, more refined? I always say, a little goes a long way. And there's no need to gild the lily. :smile: Wow! What a difference a year or so makes!

Jcnick’s quote is excellent. The application of “Behold” to intellect is relevant to Marina’s key phase “intelligence is sexy” as jcnick states “you are the beholder of intellect”. Others have their own beholden beauties which are also attributes valued no doubt partly by cultural influences. Since Marina hasn’t made a word lesson for “sexy” yet, let’s use a common meaning of “appealing for sex” consistent with her synonyms for “Pulchritudinous” as gorgeous, hot, good looking, alluring. To put aside cultural influences in this discussion and stay with Marina’s application of “Pulchritudinous” to women, consider the attributes of desirable female mates common to all cultures. Let’s use this quote from Dr. Brizendine (The Female Brain, p63) “men prefer physically attractive wives … clear skin, bright eyes, full lips, shiny hair and curvy hourglass figures … strong visual markers of fertility”, e.g. Marina. So using fertility as a assumed attribute of beholden beauty by men, jcnick’s word request for “Behold” opens the door for Marina to provoke student thought regarding what else they behold as beautiful, sexy, whatever direction she wants. The etymology of “Behold” from behaldan or behealdan as "give regard to, hold in view" could use some explanation as to the later use of “Beholden” as ‘indebted”, i.e. a job for a philologist.
