Re: Lola Montez- perfect

Thank you for reminding us of Lola, Wommie.

We are victims of all the images that idealize fake, malnourished, childlike women. These images glorify powerlessness.

Examples: Ralph Lauren photoshopping his models hips off, a magazine stretching out Barbara Walters' photo so she looked six inches taller. The wrinkle creams sold on TV, modeled by 20 year-olds.

We need to shine the counter message bright. We are older, we are stronger, we are powerful and we have flesh. Deal with it or get out of the way!

It's an ongoing struggle to stop demonizing our bodies because of the media blitz. Don't get me started...
