Odds & Ends
May. 26th, 2006 12:07 pmAnyone read about the 5'1" sex offender who was given probation because the judge felt he would not survive in prison? (read about it here) As I'm 5'2" would I be able to avoid jail because of my height? Nooo. This is insane. His short stature makes him appear non-threatening to children so that he might actually be far more dangerous than a much taller man. Oh the stupidity.
There's an ad on TV where a young dressed-for-success woman enters a crowded elevator and proceeds to strip down to her lycra biker shorts and top, then dashes out to the waiting Suzuki with bikes on top, hops in and off they go. With her petulant expression she comes across as a bitca who doesn't give a darn about the other people in the elevator just as long as she can run free as a breeze to the car. Even if they are in a hurry it is possible to change clothes in the car and incovenience no one else. I can just imagine what those other passengers in the elevator think about her.
The Olsen twins are in the news again and the way they pose just cracks me up. When I was a kid my favorite monster movie was "Mothra" which had these tiny Japanese twin fairies who would huddle together, just like the Olsen twins, and summon Mothra. Who/what are the Olsen twins summoning?
Some more "Lost" musings behind this
Came across these fascinating feminist blogs:
Biting Beaver who's an ex-stipper and gives a heart-wrenching peek at that world (here) among other things.
I'm Not a Feminist, But who tells of her journey towards seeing the world from a feminist perspective. She's British so it's interesting reading what it's like for women across the Pond.
