Why not post a pic of Crown Princess Victoria? Not pretty enough? I saw a 2 hour documentary on this family, and Victoria is not beautiful, but she's a good, moral, compassionate person, doesn't get in trouble and even went through bootcamp to show solidarity with her people! Sorry to be snippy about the pic thing, but I get tired of women being judged solely on the way they look. I myself am getting older at 36, and I am still pretty, but not what I was in my 20's. I'd hate for people to judge me harshly when I am Camilla's age because I've lost my youth. You know, this pressure to be beautiful affects women pretty badly. We have no self-esteem unless we are pretty. Look at the way women react to getting older. Plastic surgery, wrinkle reducer, etc.. Teen girls have no self-esteem if they aren't beautiful. Gentlemen, these are your mothers, wives, aunts, sisters and daughters. Think about what you casually say in front of them regarding women's appearances. They do take it to heart.

I'd judge you harshly on the fact that you seem to be a smarmy, self-righteous, whining harpy. Others may choose other reasons.
