And this is the impossible ideal women are supposed to aspire to? What a cruel joke. Follow your MOUSE

Think of the the economic impact on whole segments of the industry if just the one phrase "Your normal man doesn't mind celulite nearly as much as you think" were taken to heart - but it's not men you're playing to.

Nope. But since you brought it up... Take Playboy magazine. Every woman in that magazine is airbrushed to perfection. Who is the target audience? That magazine satisfies the male fantasy, not the female. Do you think Playboy would have lasted all these years if the bunnies had cellulite and round stomachs and crows feet? Those women are groomed to an unrealistic, siliconic level of flawlessness, right down to the last pubic hair. If you had your choice between Playboy Magazine and Average American Naked Chick Magazine, what would you be thumbing through? Maybe the later, to satisfy your curiosity, but certainly the former to titillate. You grew up learning that Playboy Bunnies are attractive. We all learned this. It's part of our collective consciousness. \t Follow your MOUSE

The models in Playboy (which I haven't bothered to view an issue of for well over 20 years (but I presume it's still pretty much the same)) seem to me artificial, factory uniform and uninteresting. Magazines like that are for 18 to 24 year olds without enough experience to know better. And if anyone listened to me, every nail parlor in America would be shut with a week. Those ugly painted claws they turn out are disgusting in appearance and debilitating in function. And you probably promised yourself not to get into this with me again because it challenges your basic presumptions and stereotypes.

I would have rather had either of them as nubile young things that are airbrushed are usually airheaded as well. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep

The way Eartha Kitt delivers the line in the movie drips contempt. The book is a fascinating and compelling read. The movie suffers from trying to move the story along too fast. Have fun, Carl Forde
