Sex in suburbia

June 5, 2008

No excuses about being slack- it’s the same old same old, same reasons for pic of the day; although I have have mobs to upload.

What has brought me out o my winter slumber is reflection on how I am changing and mellowing over time, highlighted in particular, by a lot of undue hype about a particular movie.

Now I have said before, while I can understand the strong female friendships, I don’t think they reflect my life. But it doesn’t stop there- many of my strong friendships are with men, so I think I have a good idea how they work (at least platonically). Also , I don’t let my self be defined by labels- you designer label clothes. Most designers ignore my kind anyway, hoping will will melt back into oompa-loompa land, but even the shoe fetish is beyond me. I like clothes, love to dress up and am particular to shoes- but I have never been defined by it’s price or label. I like to be defied by my actions, my taste in popular culture and my causes. Probably a reason why I avoided this series like the plague when it first came out. Since then I have buckled and watched a few eps on posh TV- it’s clever writing, and frank discussion, which is empowering- but all of that is negated by the focus on appearance. So I might be rushing out to see Speed Racer or Prince Caspian- but not that.
