Stereotypical bullshit …

So, I was looking for an image for a book cover. I wanted a larger, curvaceous, real woman. When I put the word ‘curvaceous’ through one royalty free data base, I got a bunch of thin women with large boobs. Hmmm. I then put ‘voluptuous’ in and everyone had large asses but no one was actually a larger sized woman. They were all very pretty, thin with either boobs or arses sticking out. I put in ‘fat’. I got frumpy looking women who were pulling faces – for whatever reason – making them all look demented and less than attractive and a vast percentage of them were stuffing food into their mouths. Total, stereotypical bullshit of course and no wonder women feel the pressure to conform to what society thinks is normal when it fact there is no normal.

Truth in advertising? There is none. Real women = real bodies. Don’t try and force feed us non-reality for mass conformance. Piss off.  We're over it.

Good mate and excellent author Sandra Cox has been featuring some Winnie the Pooh quotes on her blog - http://sandracox.blogspot.com.
I mentioned in her comments section something along the lines of that I believe enlightenment comes when you don’t wear pants - you know like Winnie. Some of the more meaningful, enlightening and as Oprah would say ‘light bulb’ moments have come to me when I’ve been knickerless… naked. Think about it…you’re at your most vulnerable, open and at a ‘real’ moment in your life when you act purely on what you know, believe and want. Yep, that’s why Winnie’s so smart. He’s not wearing undies.

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I’ll always be with you.” ~ Winnie the Pooh
