My Idol

What is everyone's obsession with being skinny these days? Not just being healthy but but being skinny. Every day i hear women talk about how they are so fat and need to lose weight and I'm just thinking their crazy. As a curvier girl I don't think it's such a bad thing to have a little junk in the trunk or some meet on your bones. Every girl is mad differently and I don't plan on starving myself to try and become something I'm not. Did you know that if Marilyn Monroe was alive today she would be considered a plus size model? She was the epitome of beauty sixty years ago and is still an icon today. She shows me that curvier women can still be considered sexy and beautiful. this is what I strive for instead of killing my self to become skinnier I should focus more on being healty and and comfortable and confident with the body I have. She was proud of the way that she looked so why can't I be.

Smart Girl at the Party!

Amy Poehler's new show Smart Girl at the Party is such a refreshing change from the all the other T.V. shows aimed at young girls these days. The show focuses on helping young girls with their confidence and self esteem by exploring the talents and expressing their creativity.

The show can help other girls to express themselves in more healthy creative ways rather than in destructive ways. I wish I had these kinds of shows when i was growing up. It teaches girls to just be themselves and not care what other people think and that being unique is a good thing and should be celebrated.

Harrasing Customers

I don't understand how employers are allowing their employees to harass women purchasing birth control or the plan B. pill. The employees at the Walgreen's are getting away with harassing customer for wanting the legal medication. If a person does not believe in using these types of birth control then that is your own business. I'm sorry but I've always had a problem with people forcing their religious beliefs on me. It is unfair for a person not to sell me an item based on their own personal opinion. So for the people at Walgreen's in Oxford, MS please mind your own business and sell me the product I have the right as a woman to take. Thanks.

Back Off!

Last week i attended a seminar about sexual harassment against women. The class explained the different types of sexual harassment and different ways to prevent it. I never realized how many women will just try to ignore sexual harassment because they are not sure of how to deal with it. The main point of the class was to teach us women that if you are being sexually harassed tell someone or even tell the harrasser that what they are doing is unexceptable. There is no reason to raise your voice of get upset just simply explaing that theri behavoir makes me uncomfortablr an I am not going to tand for it. So next time you feel you are being sexually harrassed don't keep your feelings inside it is ok to stand up for yourself and your rights as a woman.

Ewwww!

So I was looking for blog ideas and I went to YouTube and accidentally typed in sexiest commercials instead of sexist commercials. And this is what came up.



I have never seen this commercial on television and i can see why. I don't think i even need to say any thing it explains itself.

Babies Having Babies

At my job in Columbia I have noticed a wierd trend among my female co-workers. All of five of the girls I work with are under 25 and either have a kid or one on the way. Now if a girl wants to have kids that young that is their own decision but I never understood the point in it. Most of these girls talk constantly about going out to bars and strip clubs while their babies are at home sleeping. If a girl wants to have kids when she is that young thats great but I think you should be more responsible and set a good example for them. Girls these days are getting pregnant younger and younger every day. The high school that i went to has 30 girls who are pregnant this year and most of them are not even seniors. Why is this? I heard that when the movie Juno came out young girls were finding it cool to be pregnant in highschool. I just have one question "what is the rush?" these girls a practilly still kids themselves. I know I want to get all of my partying out when I am young so that when I do decide to have kids I can focus all my attention on them. But thats just me.

Pointless Television

Over the holiday weekend i caught up on "me" time and whatched a Bad Girls Club marathon on T.V.. I had never seen the show before and God knows I love my reality shows but as I was watching it I couldn't help but think this show is the most pointless thing on T.V. today. The basic premise is they take seven girls and put them in a house and their only goal is to start as many stupid fights as possible and see how long the girls can take it before the crack. I don't know if it's possible for any good to come from a show like this other than to teach girls how not to act. Every episode the girls are fighting about something, wether it's "you talked crap about my friend"or "you're a stupid slut cause you took my toothbrush". The only thing this show does is reinforce the setreotype that women a crazy and the smallest thing can set them off. My favorite girl on the show would have to be Tanisha. No matter who is arguing in the house Tanisha will barrell in and just start screaming in their face until it eventually gets violent. The Bad Girls Club is great entertainment for most people but sets a terribble for young girls who will learn to think it's cool to yell and scream at other girls when they do something you don't like. Whats worse is some girls have to leave the house because all the other girls ganged up on her and she couldn't take the verbal abuse anymore. As someone who was teased a lot in school I do not support this kind of behavior at all especially if it leads to violence. We need to teach young girls that this is not a cool thing to do.
