• I’m Back Online Naked Again! Run For Your Life!

    September 3rd, 2012

    My site was down for three days.  The earth stopped rotating.  Romney and Obama quit campaigning.  Even the tabloids ceased stalking Kristen Stewart.  After grappling with Ted, Dan, Mike, John, Terry, Garrett and Ted at GoDaddy, sometimes weeping, sometimes badgering, sometimes offering sexual favors, everything is fixed and better than before.  Acronyms like SSH, FTP, IPv4, HTML still drive me fucking bonkers, but I kind of know what they are.

    In honor of my return I am reposting my most popular post, to read click the following:  “Am I Really Fat? (the nude photos)”

    Hey 26! I love you, but wouldn’t want to be you again xo

    I’m also in the Huffington Post today with “A Cheating Six-Pack Drove Me To God!”  Forget about reading the post, it’s the comments you’ll want to read.  There are some crazy loco frijoles out there…

    I can’t help myself, here are a few of the comments:

    Good Grief! Go from a flighty airhead to an imaginary friend!? Howabout just growing up instead?

    How is this comment helpful?

    Like this: Love yourself first. Don’t be impulsive. Lose expectations and be grateful for the moment instead of seaking the next thrill. In other words: Grow up!

    bdoug I am six-foot four.  I am the tallest woman west of the Adirondacks. If I grow up any more I will have altitude sickness.

    or this one:

    Bad decisions about men can’t be corrected by bad decisions about “faith”. I suggest the writer look for more reasonable ways to improve her life…..

    Well I also practice Surma Stickfighting. Soothes the outrage.
    Touché!
    Here is the man who loathes me most on HuffPo.  He scathingly quotes me first:
    ” ‘But in my own dating evolution I realized I was dating emotionally unavailable, unfaithful guys because that was the role model I was raised with (my mother’s second husband).’  
     
    It’s always someone else fault. Why can’t women just own up and just say they like dating the bad boys because it was fun to them? Did not you learn anything from AA? You must admit the truth before you move forward.

    I guess it took you 35 yrs to change your behavior. But, I still think you, like so many women, always have that passion and desire for the bad boys.

    So, I understand Mr. Anonymous. As a man I too have asked myself, ‘why even bother?’ Hence, I prefer FWBs. That way I avoid all the grief and agony.”

    And the one comment I loved:

    Rues wrote:

    “Sometimes it all seems so confusing. Childhood was time with my Grandmother on the reservation. There is no word for religion in her language.She talked about all life having spirit.all spirit having life. It was all so simple and beautiful.Then there was the priest.Different rules, “pagen, sinful.So, I grew up walking many paths. Yet, the sky, the mountains, the forest, the sea. I am overwhelmed. I get a “Rocky Mountain High”. “it is all a gift from the Creator” says Gam. A rose by any other name? How do we name something that is so much more than we? What is that power or sense of something so remarkably beyond our imagination. The ancient Greeks searched for god and found music. Dr. Michio Kaku (sp) has a piece on youtube about searching space for god and what they found, like the Greeks was a vibration that was like strings of one might say music. I am a sage burner, candle lighter, praying out into the Universe to empower me to make right decisions, good decisions, to say thank you for every day and I pray. I guess it comes down to faith. I feel something exists that is greater than me, greater than all of us.Can I name it? No,but there is a sense of everything that is good about me that gives me a sense of gratitude to the ‘powers that be’.. But, it is just my personal opinion and feelings..peace.”

    Thank you, Rues.

    Also guys, comments are really needed on my site so that Google will give me a higher ranking.  Any comments here will be read, appreciated and responded to.  Even if they’re mean.  But I know you’d never be mean to me xo

  • When Is The Desire To Be Beautiful Too Much?

    June 20th, 2012

    As a 46-year old woman I frequently blog about beauty and body image.  I am not a role model.  On the one hand I’ve done a series of fine art nude photgraphs and posts about loving my body now which is 20 pounds heavier than when I got married.  On the other hand I’ve had [...]

  • My Today Show Segment On Body Image

    March 26th, 2012

    Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. my fanny traversing 20 years somehow made its way onto the Today Show.  Producer Stephanie Becker did such a lovely job with the story that I almost couldn’t find anything wrong with myself in it!  So I rewarded myself with a fajita platter.  (Followed by 100 sit-ups). If you haven’t [...]
