Women. We are the worst.

A British study finds that females over the age of 33 should dress like they are 66. Which is odd, because I thought 66 was the new 33.
 
Yes, in this survey of 2,000 embreasted and embittered people, it has been concluded that miniskirts must be skirted after 35, at which point naval piercings are also nay, and ponytails must be curtailed after 51.

Oh, and this is just the tip of the women-can-be-cold-as iceberg.

There has been a lot of backlash over an article by Marie Claire writer Maura Kelly. Her story focuses on Mike & Molly, a sit-com about two overweight people, and her disgust in watching fat people … do pretty much anything.

First, I want to congratulate Marie Claire on a successful PR strategy. Publish an unfavourable, media-grabbing, society-polarizing, controversial piece, then counter with a series of stories opposing it, siding with the public-at-large.

Well played, Ms. Claire. Well played.

Second, I want to take this opportunity to voice my disgust in watching skinny people, do pretty much everything on TV.

While everyone praises her, I can’t just sit back expressionless, while Teri Hatcher touts that she is plastic surgery and Botox free.

I call Bo-crap.

Recently, this important news story broke on CNN and the other major news networks. (Hey, if it is good enough for TMZ it is good enough for CNN.)

Dear Dove,

How are you? How are sales going since your Campaign for Real Beauty began? Are more women buying your anti-aging products and your cellulite-reducing complexes?

I understand re-defining beauty is difficult. That is something I have been trying to do with my Bye-Bye Barbie program. You know, teaching young women that they don’t have to look to a product to find beauty. Unfortunately, I don’t have any creams to sell them.
