  • I wanted to be Pat Benatar....I think she wants to be Natalie Maines

    I'm a child of the '80s and thus grew up in the hey day of MTV. You know, when they actually showed music videos and the non-music shows were related to music (Remote Control 4EVER).

  • Dora the Explorer of Eating Disorders

    My heart literally sank when I saw this post about the latest Dora dolls. What happened to my daughter's best doll friend? Just the other day she was a happy-go-lucky exploradora and now she looks like she needs a few tamales! I may need to order ''Yum! Mmmm! Que Rico!'' for Dora for Christmas.

  • Tell Me When I'm Beautiful - Part 2

    Please note this is a recreated post as I could not find it on the internet archive. Soon after the APA report was released my favorite (not) editorial writer came out with a critique. I have to say directly to Kathleen Parker, please come up with a new tune! She starts out by first showing us that she has no idea why reports like this are ...

  • Tell Me When I'm Beautiful - Part 1

    Please note this is a recreated post as I could not find it on the internet archive. What do you say to that? As I stared at my 3.5-year-old my heart ached. Has it started already? ''You're always beautiful, mija.'' On one hand I can't say that it's much different than when I was a kid. I was dumped for a cuter girl by my best friend, Katie, ...
