Time to Add Catcalling to ‘The List’

Time to Add Catcalling to ‘The List’

I was walking the dog when I heard Heeeeyy girl…You’re looking goo-ooo-ood today! A car had slowed down next to me, just enough to keep pace as I walked. The driver’s eyes slowly laser-swept my body, beginning at my chest, ending at my thighs and slowly back up again. Then he drove off. At 13, I was still adjusting to my developing body. I was all breasts, a bubble butt … [Read more...]

Smelly Teenage Boys

One day, I was walking across campus at the secondary school where I taught, when I passed a rather nondescript group of teenage boys. This is something I would generally completely ignore. If they were kids I knew, I’d say hello, of course, but otherwise, I just walked on by. But this time I noticed them.

If you didn’t see this post by fellow blogger Vinobaby’s Voice, you need to read it (after you read this,  of course). It’s regarding the high school senior who is raising all sorts of chaos because her school’s yearbook staff rejected the girl’s senior photo submission. Once you see the pictures, I’m sure you’ll understand why they rejected them. Yes, It’s Too Sexy for ANY … [Read more...]

Hey Society – Get Your Opinions Off My Body

March 17, 2012 by Kristen Daukas Leave a Comment

Did you see this article? I saw it late last night and LOVED it. Even posted it to my Facebook page. In the spread, size 12 model Katya Zharkova poses nude next to a “straight size” model to show the differences between them. I loved it… thought it was a beautiful spread, truer words were never spoken. Then one of my friends put a comment that stopped me because I didn’t … [Read more...]
