sistermarymartha, wouldn’t it have totally rocked if it was played for the Obama’s first dance?

I know you’re going to miss him, but I just couldn’t leave Mr. Sizzle Chest on my tumblr. I have standards, you know. ;p

there’s a really bad rash of posting things that have already been posted and removing all the credit and/or not even giving the artist’s name. not even so much for acknowledging the artist but to find out more about them if someone’s interested.

"The first question I ask myself when something doesn’t seem to be beautiful is why do I think it’s not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason."

-John Cage

Sage advice from Laura Berman, LCSW, Ph.D.:

“Are you happy with your body? If you’ve read a magazine or watched television lately, you probably aren’t. A recent study done in the United Kingdom found that watching sexy girl groups (such as the Pussycat Dolls) in music videos for just ten minutes significantly decreases women’s self-image.

Meanwhile, celebrity magazines routinely point out flaws in stars — generally female stars — and even go so far as to name the “best” and “worst” beach bodies. Svelte stars like Cameron Diaz get named “best” beach bods, while stars such as Kate Hudson and Courtney Love are chastised for having “flabby bellies.” With magazines such as these on the shelves, it’s no wonder that girls as young as seven years old now go on diets.

It’s also no wonder that the number of people suffering from eating disorders has doubled in the last five years to a total of 5 million [according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services]. You might not be one of these 5 million, but your body image has probably negatively affected your life at one point or another. Maybe you avoid the beach, maybe you stay in on Saturday nights, or maybe you’re even afraid to disrobe in front of your spouse. You know that you are “supposed” to love your body, but how can you embrace it when you perceive it as being riddled with flaws?

It might help if you consider what message you’re sending to the young girls in your life — your daughter, your niece, even your granddaughter. While men also suffer from eating disorders, it’s currently estimated that 90% of those with eating disorders are women. So every time you skip a meal or lament about your “fat hips” in front of your daughter, you are sending her the message that your body — and therefore her body — is flawed.

The only person who can really put an end to this “thin is in” epidemic is you. Ditch the Slim Fast cans in your fridge and replace them with natural, healthy fruits and veggies. Avoid pre-packaged salads from fast-food places and prepare a truly nutritious meal with your family. When you go to the grocery store or the pharmacy, don’t let your daughter pore over the latest celebrity gossip magazines. Remind her that all magazines airbrush their models, and then give her real heroes to look up to … starting with yourself. “
