I've heard so many people say they've had that said to them, and I can't begin to imagine how it must feel. "What are you?" gives me this terrible feeling—that "you" is like some sort of creature. By using the word "what," "you" becomes inhuman. Otherwise the question would be "Who are you?" At least that's the…

I've seen "Biracial" as a choice recently, and while it doesn't cover ALL the bases, its better than "White", Latino", Black", "Asian." I think I may have even seen "Multiracial" on some forms. Perhaps geographical location has something to do with it?

You nailed everything I feel. If this is a girl (I say girl because of her behavior, because there are surely females her age who act like women) who wants to send a message, then I would understand. But there is no message. Is the message that there is no message? I don't care. Sexual expression is great! What…

I wish every woman could have the chance to do this. We can watch 1000 before/after photoshop pics, but it doesn't seem to be doing very much in changing how women see themselves (probably because, as you said, most of the women being photoshopped are actresses/models and are already very attractive). But if…

Haha my best friend's dad is really into wrestling magazines.... you are indeed right about the homoeroticism. I think what is most problematic about it (to me) is that men are never put on display for women. Women are put on display for men (see:all advertising) and men are put on display for gay men…

I feel like BECAUSE she has been a representative beauty ideal for over 50 years, she actually looks quite average. I mean, I can't even count the number of girls I know that dye their hair blonde, who do their make-up and hair similarly to Barbie. I have multiple friends who have had nose-jobs that resulted in…

I agree. I kind of hate sports but am surrounded by them, and am influenced by them. I also love men. Just put Roger Federer, Tom Brady and MAAYBE Ryan Lochte (not sure if his assholery is enough to overcome his shallow hotness in a mag) all oiled up in sexy poses in there too. Equal opportunity objectification! …

Thank you for showing me this. I knew she was a kind person (ASPCA!), but I didn't realize she had such a sense of humor about herself! Good for her! I spent my childhood listening to her (my dad went through a soprano female ballad stage), so I love her and hilarious parody.

Yeah, I never understood that part of. All the women in my family are fairly large-breasted (after childbirth, of course!) and I have many friends who also are well-endowed and WHY don't they make the sturdy bras out of pretty fabrics!? I'm sure that if we have the capacity for inventing spanx, girdles, corsets and…

I don't get it either. I guess it's like, the most useful part of the breast, as well as the most sensitive to stimulation? It's like, the bullseye of the breast?
and...Nobody wants to see the target?

Well, that doesn't make sense. I give up.

Yeah...I'm kind of in that that category as well. I mean, mine aren't as big as hers, but I spend all winter braless because I wear like 5 layers and it's all hidden anyway. But GODDAMN sometimes I wish I had some more. Sigh. The grass is always greener, eh?

AH, JC Chasez never letting me down. Like when we made eye contact at my third *NSYNC concert. What a guy. ;)

WE NEED MORE OF THIS. THANK YOU.

Yeah, that's actually terrible. I can't believe anyone other than a frat boy wrote that.

I can't seem to find what you're referring to. Did they take it down??

I'm a big fan of their winterized leggings. Not because they're such good quality (they're not), but because they're really the only place that sells triple-thickness leggings that aren't meant for sports.

Also, completely agreed. I wouldn't have noticed it on the "finished product" either and that's scary.

That's why it works on damaging our subconsciousness. Even if we are aware that things are photoshopped, they are still being presented to us as ideal and desirable. I tend to believe that you could put an anatomical anomaly in a magazine and pass it for high fashion.

I don't understand. How can we have millions of "missing girls," so much so that there is a female shortage in China and men are literally waiting for the next generation to get older so they can marry them... and ALSO have this??

I totally wish I had a doll of myself. But I'm too cheap to pay for someone to make it for me. And I'm definitely not talented enough to do it myself. I guess my only option is to wait until I'm famous and someone makes an idol of me (JK!)

This is really an amazing transformation. However, it does help that…
