There were a bunch of posters of various famous men- MLK Jr; Che Guevara, Muhammad Ali- all with inspiring quotes about better yourself, bettering the world, and inner strength. There were 3 with women. One with Marilyn Monroe and a quote about sex/sexiness, one with Audrey Hepburn with a quote about judging a man by the jewelry he buys you, and one with Lucille Ball and a quote from the show about a made-up health supplement. Where are the powerful, inspirational women talking about strength, and wisdom, and betterment of yourself and society? And, more importantly, what have we been teaching generations of little girls?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182172661544456390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381983259145260439.post-69812176351924765502011-04-07T06:36:57.831-07:002011-04-07T06:36:57.831-07:00You're great, looking out for a fictional char...You're great, looking out for a fictional character.

Unfortunately, it's now spreading here, too, at least the BBS** part, and I really feel for the young girls, who have to crash through that wave, and make it safely to the other side. It's one thing to be within a range of weight-height ratio for one's health. It's a whole other thing to make a young girl feel completely worthless because she doesn't look like the models in the magazines that have formed her--and her male contemporaries'--idea of beauty.<br />*BBBS: Blonde, Buxom, Beautiful, Beach-going, Skinny<br />**Buxom, Beautiful, Skinny<br />P.S., In the end, either way, it's B.S., with, or without, the Beaching-going Blonde part.Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350579051520505525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381983259145260439.post-43250740363605639642011-04-05T20:28:47.367-07:002011-04-05T20:28:47.367-07:00Channel the goddess zocy when you're swimming ...Channel the goddess zocy when you're swimming in Chanel bags.<br />Guess she didn't read the anti material post.<br /><br />wv: malogize--<br />an exceptionally poor apologyDesireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331108175137673106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381983259145260439.post-81534219065313926902011-04-05T20:15:30.352-07:002011-04-05T20:15:30.352-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.zocyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396470157061497656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381983259145260439.post-7612062673094644682011-04-05T12:53:48.994-07:002011-04-05T12:53:48.994-07:00I'mm still trying to get my head around the on...I'mm still trying to get my head around the one with 300 arms.Tony Van Helsinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879258913766153068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381983259145260439.post-70803960847980655182011-04-05T11:59:07.294-07:002011-04-05T11:59:07.294-07:00I've often wondered if women who get botoxed, ...I've often wondered if women who get botoxed, lips plumped, cheeks plumped, skin pulled and stapled...do they ever look at a mirror or look at other women who've had all that done???
