Reading a biography of Karen Carpenter should be mandatory for every adolescent female.

TEENAGE BOY'S REACTION: Like, dude, I woulda dated Karen Carpenter if she just lost 5 more pounds.

Confession--sometimes I watch boys who watch girls.

This put me in mind of the time I watched a couple of guys drooling over this girl...but she looked like an ad for "Save the Children." Positively skeletal. Brrr. Are we teaching boys to crave these boneracks? When I was a teen, I was considered too skinny. Boys wanted curves back then, so I guess I'm always behind the curves... Things like this must change because of culture.
