The battle now is neck wrinkles. They are hard to love! You NEVER see a front mag cover of a woman with a wrinkly neck!I wear a lot of feathery things and scarves. I would love to hear from a woman who likes her old neck. I need a role model like that!@evitchkahttp://www.evamariachapman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-55777256077966054042009-07-16T19:17:26.489-07:002009-07-16T19:17:26.489-07:00I fuss and fume and buy new clothes when I a going...I fuss and fume and buy new clothes when I a going away or doing something new - but then when the occasion occurs, I can let it go. I can go to the beach or the reunion and not be a self hater. I think that is why people say "I don't think of you as fat" and I weigh upwards of 250.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768569658001165651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-84295234628885871082009-07-16T15:47:15.080-07:002009-07-16T15:47:15.080-07:00This is really jibing with the book I'm readin...This is really jibing with the book I'm reading--Listen Up: Voices from the New Feminist Generation.

I think it is the Western separation of mind and body and Western perspective that the mind is superior to the bod and that the body is a thing. (For example, we refer to our breasts/limbs as "they" or "it". How can you tell I'm reading, "Eastern Mind, Western Body?")MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010547516401501448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-898036299913493032009-07-16T14:39:29.342-07:002009-07-16T14:39:29.342-07:00Your post that is.
