MY butt is NOT perfect the way it is, thank you very much. I am overweight to an unhealthy extent, and sedentary, and out of shape, and my butt is but one example of that. It doesn't matter what I think, that's the simple fact. Something like 40% of the women in America are so obese that they are endangering their health, and telling them that they are fine like they are only compounds the problem. But I am mentally healthy enough to be able to say the above and not hate myself, any more than I hate myself for having ingrown toenails, or stiff joints in the morning. I am what I am.

It's not really BArbie butt for me- it's wanting to be comfortable and active. But I know what you mean. However I think Lorrie and you misunderstood me, and the joke I made, which WAS aimed at the butt consciousness of our culture.

Rambi, <<<<I worried that being "me" has not been the best thing for my kids. They're not going to fit--and I don't know if that's good or bad...except part of me says it doesn't matter- "fitting" being a pretty slippery concept anyway. I want them to be happy with themselves- and not even THINK about fitting or not.>>>> After having "known" you, the kind of person you are, for the last few years, I think that you typify the type of parent who is good for kids. I bet they think so too, and will, as each year passes, be more and more grateful. Nobody wants to fit. They wanna live, instead. Maybe they want examples. Something made me think of what MY MY MY kids would be like. E-gads. "Oh the humanity." I was thinking of names for them? And I saw myself like testifying ~ "I named them Burden, Debt, and Foist." I seem to have a burr up my butt today, and I apologize, but I do wish you a happiest birthday for a nicest person. I would take you for a mom in an instant. As well as the rest of the lady-people around here.

Song for all Women, All Butts Today a rude brief recitative, Of women walking on sidewalks everywhere, each with her special butt. Of unknown women working in the rice paddies, with their sarongs hoisted above their butts - of butts spreading as far as the eye can reach. Of dashing spray. and butts flashing in the seaweed farms and clam breaks. And out of these a chant for the butts of all nations, Fitful, like a surge. Of sea captains young and old, and the mates, and of all intrepid sailors and marines, Of the few, very choice, taciturn, whom fate can never surprise nor death dismay, Picked sparingly without noise by thee, old ocean, chosen by thee, Thou sea that pickest and cullest the race in time, and unitest nations, Suckled by thee, old husky nurse, embodying thee. Indomitable, untamed as thee. (Ever the heroes on water or on land, by ones and twos appearing, Ever the stock preserved and never lost, though rare, enough for seed preserved.) Flaunt out oh world your separate butts of nations! Flaunt out visible as ever the various hinder cheeks! But do you reserve especially for yourself and for the soul of man one perfect butt above all the rest, A spiritual cleft ass for all nations, emblem of woman tempting man elate above death, Cynosure of all brave captains and all intrepid seamen and marines, And all who went down after doing their duty. Reminiscent of them, twined from all intrepid captains young and old, A Barbarian butt universal, subtly waving all time, o'er all brave sailors, All behinds, all butts.
