Just as a matter of interest, a friend of mine did her master's thesis on anorexia through the ages. She found documentation that it existed in sixteenth-century Europe. So it's not new and doesn't have a lot to do with our so-called culture of skinniness.

...I need to stay where I can occupy a market niche...

In Maryland a lady such as yourself must occupy a very small market niche indeed.

Worth repeating to all sexually liberated women who are mystified that their lovers won't commit to marriage:

"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

Good for that courageous young lady. I wish more teenagers and older ladies alike had that kind of courage. I know my daughter does!!!!

Bottom one is Christina Aguilera. That was actually in her relatively-innocent looking days. Today, God alone knows how many bacteria are buzzing around her at any given moment.

Now that you have deduced one of the great mysteries of life will you:

1. Spread the word widely to new generations of women?

2. Decide on new window treatments?

I already put up new window treatments so I guess that means I have to spread the word widely to new generations of women. Sadly, the message is not getting through even to my own daughter.

It is worth dressing modestly to find a true gentleman.

From a brunette to you blondes, dressing modestly is the key to being happy and secure in your own skin. Self worth and confindence is what a true genlteman finds sexy and irresistable. Anyone can dress trashy, it's just more classy not to.

That is sad. Does she attend a government skool? If so, that's likely the culprit.

Well, actually the bottom lady is my Aunt Grace
and the picture was made in the early 1970's.
At the time, Aunt Grace was 24. She is now 54
and middle age spread has set in. Aunt Grace
got sick of doing without her piroghis, married,
settled down, makes and eats piroghis regularly,
and now weighs 260 lbs. The girl at the top is
still only 24 and weighs maybe 115 lbs. OK. You
can talk to Aunt Grace, but don't let Uncle Hulk
catch you.

But, far from empowering women and allowing them to "take charge" of their sexuality, this loss of innocence has led to their degradation.

Bears repeating again and again and again . . .

Freepers are so funny. I generally freep from the office and all through the day I laugh at the cleverness that pervades this place. Sometimes I have to get a hold of myself just to answer the phone - like yesterday - reading this thread. By post #9 I was in tears.
