I Can’t Think Of A Witty Title Tonight

I caught the last few minutes of Tyra when I got home tonight. The segment I saw was about a magazine called Bodacious, which features nude photos of plus-size women. I’m not sure how I feel about this. I went to the web site and I guess like all porn, it objectifies those who participate in it. But in this instance, it seems to rise to a different level — like, the readers are picking up the magazine just to see nude women, they’re picking it up to see women of a certain size. I guess it’s no different than all of the other subtypes of porn, but because I fit into this category, I suppose it makes me more uncomfortable … It’s difficult to think of this as empowering or making a statement when the girls on Tyra who had been in the magazine were only 19 and 20 years old.

I’m going to dinner with the Asshat a week from tomorrow. He’s going camping with his brother this weekend, then we both have other stuff going on next week. Another interesting guy e-mailed me last night. He’s in a band; he sent me a link to a few of their songs … the jury’s still out on what I think of the music. He is cute though … he also has two kids. All these really young guys — like 20, 22 — have been e-mailing me lately. They’re all adorable but come on. My friend was teasing me today and said, “I’m not doing that anymore, Kim” and she replied, “What is it you’re looking for again???” then we both laughed like idiots.

Another hockey game tonight … Wings are up in the series 2-1 … Wheee …
