Hallowe'en

-




I love Hallowe'en.  I dress up every year and take the hobbits trick-or-treating.  I think Hallowe'en is just as much for adults as it is for kids (minus the candy).

But WHAT is up with Hallowe'en costumes for women?  It doesn't matter what you wish to dress up as on Hallowe'en there is a skimpy woman's costume for that at the store.  For some strange reason, little girls can still be princesses and yes, even vampires, and the costumes are not skimpy.  But get into adult sizes, and suddenly the costume makers have either run out of material or got the measurements wrong for the women's costumes.  Just the women's costumes, for some reason the men's costumes are fine.

Who designs these things anyway?  Most likely men.  But they wouldn't, if women weren't BUYING them.

Well women, we don't have to buy them.  Hallowe'en is supposed to be about having fun, not about who can be the most trashy.

My daughter wanted to be a warrior princess.  It's a good thing I know how to sew because if I had to rely on store-bought costumes, she may have ended up looking like this:

Instead, she ended up looking like this:


Much more awesome, I think.

Yesterday, I went out with the kids and I wasn't the only parent dressed up.  There were a lot of moms and dads dressed up in awesome costumes that looked nothing like the skimpy things I see in stores, so it would seem that there are women out there NOT buying the things.

Girls, you know the guy who thinks you look hot?  The guy who says you look so beautiful, he wants to make love to you, he loves your long legs/curves/neck/insert body part, he just can't get enough of you?

Forget him.

Go for the guy who, when you say something and mean it, thinks "Wow."  Go for the guy who can't get enough of your mind, who loves your sense of humour, who thinks you are one of the most amazing people he has ever met, and can't get enough of talking with you.  Go for the guy who gets excited about the same things you do.

There comes a time, when it won't matter to you anymore how hot your man thinks you are.  You will wonder then, not "when was the last time he looked at me with lust in his eyes." but rather "When was the last time we had a significant conversation?  When was the last time we talked about something other than the mundane?"

Girls, if you want your man to treat you like a princess, you have to look the part.  Men tend to be visual.  Dress like a princess and you will get treated like a princess.  Dress like a slut and you will get treated like a slut - used and then thrown out.

Sectes

Il y a peut-être un an de cela, une amie m'a dit qu'elle avait entendu dire certains gens traiter Marie-Jeunesse de secte. Mon mari ne connait pas Marie-Jeunesse, mais il est convaincu qu'Opus Dei est un secte et le livre "Le code DaVinci" n'a fait, bien sur, qu'affirmer ses croyances. Pourquoi est-ce que quand un groupe suit le Vatican et ses enseignements et encourage les autres à le faire aussi, même des personnes à l'intérieur de l'Église le traitent de secte?! La suite logique à cela serait de dire que le Vatican lui-même est un secte! Alors ces gens-là pensent quoi? Qu'ils ont la vérité et que c'est le Vatican qui en a dévié? Qu'ils sont les vrais catholiques, alors que le Vatican n'a pas de bons sens? Il y a presque 15 ans j'ai fait partie de Marie-Jeunesse, avant que ce groupe ne devienne communauté religieuse. Laissez-moi vous dire que Marie-Jeunesse n'a rien d'un secte. Libre à vous d'y aller ou d'y par...

Crashing into Thin Air - Excerpt From Chapter Seven

-
She was deep into a website project on her laptop when Christian came home later.  She saved her work and closed the laptop. “So?”  She asked, as he sat across the table.  “How was it?” He eyed her.  “You enjoy talking about yourself?” He asked. Joanne nodded. “To a stranger?” Joanne shrugged, “Sometimes that’s easier.”  She said.  “Strangers don’t judge.  They don’t really care.  They aren’t personally involved.” “So you’ve done this before?  Talked to a psychiatrist about your problems?” “Uh, no.  Not really.” Christian shook his head.  “So how can you know you’d like it?  What do you think it’s like, having to go through unpleasant memories that you’d rather forget?  It’s not much fun!” “Sorry.” Joanne replied. “So if you enjoy talking about yourself so much, why don’t you tell me what you were going to tell me this morning?” “You’re not a stranger.” Joanne reminded him.  “That makes things ...

Problems in Bolivia

Now this is what I am talking about. This is what people are fleeing away from, this is why the US has so many illegal immigrants, this is why people have a love-hate relationship with the US, what is the US going to do about it? (From the SOA Watch :) We are writing with grave concern about an emerging conflict in South America´s poorest nation, Bolivia and we need you to take immediate action. Bolivia is facing a critical moment in which the survival of a new era of hope is gravely threatened. After suffering decades of military dictatorships followed by years of economic dictatorship, Bolivia heralded in a new moment of dignity with the election of its first indigenous president, Evo Morales. However, just one month after a recall referendum gave Morales 67% of the vote, Bolivia's secessionist movement has unleashed unprecedented violence throughout the country. After three days of riots, 8 people have died, several government institutions have been destroyed and Bolivia´s gas ...
