While some people find the issue relating to body image an issue which is overplayed, I believe that it has caused some rather unhealthy behavior in men and women.  In China there is an internet challenge which dares people to take an A4 size paper lengthwise and see if your waistline could be smaller than the 8.5 inches.  Personally, not appetizing to me – I rather eat to my hearts content and be myself.  Yes, joke all you want about my food hoarding and protectionism mechanisms, I am serious about what I want and like to eat.  Deny me what I want to eat and you will get stuck with whatever eating utensil happens to be near by 😀

On the other hand, I am really happy about Shanghai Disney opening up soon and its new mass marketing and monkey making scheme of inclusion.  I love the fact that the new Disney Princess is Latino inspired.

Disney reveals new Princess – she’s the first of Latin descent  – http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/31053428/disney-reveals-new-princess—shes-the-first-of-latin-descent  

I also think that the other article that appeared almost at the same time has everyone imagining themselves as Princesses and applying it to their own lives.  If Disney princesses were Filipina – http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35340371.

Current Mood:  Feeling rather happy at the state of being for women.  Still a man’s world but we are catching up.
