1. I love my lips. They have pretty shape.

2. I love my feet. They have nice arch and look damn good in sandles.

3. I love my bossy toe (what my husband calls my second toes that are at least 1/4 inch longer than the big toes)

4. I love my back. It is nicely toned.

5. I love my calves. They are musclely and really sexy in high heals.

6. Lastly and completely off the physical I love my smart brain and my equally smart mouth!!

So thank you ladies for helping me find some of the reasons I love my body. You are all wounderful.

I got it from the February blog about Ann Coulter.

But it really rung my chimes, you know?

So, turning faces out on good books and turning bad books to show their spines is okay? But anything other than that is too annoying for our friends the booksellers? I want to have fun an foment rebellion, but I draw the line at being annoying. Honestly.

Lambie, when they’re grilling you and you’re confessing, try not to mention the blog. Then call and we’ll bail you out. Although Dove should do that, really.

I’ve never slept on my stomach. They don’t squash that much.

Do you realize that book store employees really don’t like people shifting books around on them? Or adding to their stock? It makes it harder for them to help the customer that walks up and says “I can’t find _____.” The best thing you can do is turn the “good of humanity” books already on the shelves cover out and make the rest spine out. Moving stock (or adding to it) annoys both the casual browser and the in-store staff.

The local Waldenbooks manager is a friend, and she says that 99% of all readers don’t read outside their preferred genre (that includes non-fiction, too.) So putting something where others will stumble over it while pursuing other things is wasting your time and annoying the natives.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to annoy my local book pushers.

I leave for a day and it’s all about breasts again. Didn’t this happen on He Wrote She Wrote last year? What is it with you people? Sigh.

Well, we do each have two of them, even the guys. So…

Always gets me in trouble

TMI

Trouble is, I found out earlier today, is that drug stores are harder to sneak around in than bookstores. There are concave? convex? SPY MIRRORS everywhere.

So, look, you guys buy lots of Dove (I’m at an age where I’m still fighting zits, for godsake, I personally don’t need more moisture, YET.), and I’ll go back to doing my good deeds among the books.
Unless I just happen to see an opportunity to do a good deed for my future, older self, and improve Dove’s placement.
However, I could never throw anything, even at a cop, because I am completely non-violent.

Let me clarify: I go braless regularly in the privacy of my own home. I do own great-fitting bras (which I always wear when out) and a girdle and a body shaper (which I wear when I dress up in clinging fabrics). I bow to public opinion.

But I’m aghast at Jen T.’s opinion (I realize where you are coming from, Jen T., and I like a lot of your other opinions). What if a woman can’t afford a good bra? They are pretty expensive items. What if a woman would rather buy a good book than own a bra? What if she is allergic to Lycra? What if she just doesn’t like it? Should we allow a bunch of teenagers to dictate fashion to us? Sorry, it’s just disturbing to me on several levels — just as I’m sure “going braless on a regular basis” was disturbing on several levels to Jen T. Let’s agree to disagree on that point. I don’t think scientific cites would save us, because it looks like even the scientists disagree about the usefulness of the bra.

Ingrid again: “garter belt with suspenders” got shortened to “garters” in the U.S. But it also refers to the leg-decoration. Tights refer to thick pantyhose. Pantyhose is usually not opaque. Suspenders usually refer to some elastic you clip to your belt to prevent your trousers from falling down.

Shawn Reed: I agree, it would be great if we could accept all beauty as valid. But people always seem to want what they don’t have. My daughters and I have great hair — but I want ringlets like the little one, the little one wants a shining waterfall like big sis, and big sis wants waves like Mom. (-: What’s wrong with us?

we can probably raise bail money fairly quick, Lambie, so no worries. just remember, if the cops come and you throw shampoo at then and run, Dove will get more airtime. (ok, maybe not good airtime, but airtime none the less).

Do you really call suspenders garters? I always associate that word with those bands that people tied around their stockings above or below the knee. You sometimes see the lovely embroidered 18th-century ones in museums.

What say we get to the drug store and do the same kind of thing? Pull the Dove products out to cover up all the “anti-aging” anti-real women gunk?

Yes, that will be my new project. Love it. This blog is so full of great ideas. Thank you all. Now, off to Walgreen’s.

But we are talking about hips. I love my hips.

And Dove Pro-age. Haven’t tried it yet. So, Jenny. Tell me how the shampoo and condition are. I have very dry, frizzy, curly hair and I do a lot of damange with the straigtener. Think I will like it?

Once again, communication complicated by sharing a common language!

And I think more women wear (at least occasionally) stockings and garters than did in, say, the ’70s, though some can wear the elastic top things, with which I have never had much luck (or comfort).

Lovely poem to the ladies!
Walt Whitman was a great poet.

And Ingrid…

Suspenders haven’t as yet gone out of style. Know quite a few men that wear them, as I do.
