Butt Writing Confuses Me

MomGrind — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:30:01 +0000

Butt writing is one of the weirdest fashion trends of recent years.

Why would anyone want to wear an advertisement on their behind?

Photos from Malingering unless noted otherwise.

Even if it’s not an ad, I’m not sure how tasteful or appropriate it is to display words on one’s derriere (By popular demand in comments and emails, post edited to add a JUICY butt).

Especially when the words are “GET LOW”

NYCArthur

Or “Dig It”

Or “Aloha”

Or “Babe”

recursive

Or “PLAY”

What do you think about this fashion trend? Fun and harmless or distasteful and stupid?

Comment Of The Day: This is right up there with thong flashing above low rise butts, or even plumber’s crack (the non-smokable kind). Betsy Wuebker of Passing Thru.

No other gift says “I care about you” quite like a bathroom scale.

This One Isn’t From The Fifties, But It’s Crazy Too

A reader emailed me with the link to a company that lets you NAME A STAR AFTER SOMEONE for the small price of $50 - $150. “We offer a Gift Package where we select a special star in the sky and record your Star Name and Star Date. The Gift Package includes a beautiful parchment Certificate, a Sky Chart with your name and the star’s coordinates and an informative booklet on astronomy.”

“You’re not buying the star. We do not own the star, so we cannot sell it to you. This is like adopting the star. This star is associated with that special someone. It is something you can point at to know that there is something special out there for you. The scientific community will not recognize your star name. We are a private company that provides gift packages.”

Holiday Gift Ideas For Kids Who Cook

A Personal Note

The kids will be on break from school starting this Monday and until January 5th. We have several things planned, including a ski trip, birthday festivities for both kids (they were born in December and in January, almost exactly two years apart) and many Holiday parties and events. This seems like a good time to take a short blogging break and focus on my offline life. I plan to be back on January 5th.

Wishing you and your loved ones Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or the politically correct Happy Holidays. Whatever works for you.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies. Because Crunchy Cookies Are Not Allowed In This House

MomGrind — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:00:56 +0000

This Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is Based on Nestle’s traditional recipe, with a few changes that make them CHEWY, nut-free, and add a distinct vanilla flavor and white chocolate chips.

1 cup + 2 TBS all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 TBS vanilla extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Mix flour, baking soda and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, mix butter and sugars until well blended. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix just until combined.

5. Add chocolate chips.

6. Roll dough into balls, using your hands. It’s a little messy but this is the kids’ favorite part. We like to make them large and since I want them to bake evenly, I weigh them on my kitchen scale at about 70 grams each (yes I am insane). This makes about 9 big cookies. If you want more, you can double the ingredients. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

7. Bake for about 12 minutes, until light golden brown. The outer edges should just begin to harden but the center should still be soft. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet instead of on a wire rack - this is important if you want chewiness. We do NOT want dry, brittle, crunchy cookies. Crunchy cookies are evil.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who like their chocolate chip cookies soft and chewy and those who like them crunchy. As you may have guessed, I like my cookies chewy. What about you?

Ageism Is The Last Acceptable Form Of Discrimination

“Madonna’s hands (50) look older than her face!”

“Anna Wintour (59) looks OLD when you magnify her photos to the point of discomfort!”

“Brigitte Bardot (73) is not a bombshell anymore!”

The media is ridiculously obsessed with using the strength of today’s digital cameras to photograph aging female celebrities up close and show us that as you get older, the plumpness and smoothness you used to have in your twenties are GONE.

Shocking.

Brigitte Bardot seems to be the worst offender, because while others are cosmetically enhancing their faces, leaving mostly their hands to tell the tale of their real age, Bardot simply refuses plastic surgery. The nerve! “Gone was the trademark pout and cascading blonde locks, to be replaced by sagging jowls covered in heavy make-up and a wiry, unkempt patch of greying hair.”

1968, age 34. Photo credit: Wikimedia Commons
2006, age 72. Photo credit: John W. Macdonald

Oh PLEASE. Brigitte Bardot is 73 years old. THIS is what aging looks like when you don’t have plastic surgery or dye your hair. Our notion of what aging looks like has become completely warped because of cosmetic surgery and Botox. Have you seen Nicole Kidman lately? This is a photo of her from 2006. The actress, who was 39 years old when the photo was taken, looks at least ten years younger than her chronological age. She’s absolutely gorgeous, but people need to realize that a lot of money and effort has been poured into looking so smooth and plump when you’re almost 40. Of course, she’s often criticized for what seems to be her liberal use of Botox. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.

Photo credit: mikegoat

Speaking of wrinkled skin and sagging jowls, Dustin Hoffman, 71, looks old too. Anyone care to write an article about HIS wrinkly appearance?

Photo credit: wvs

And look at Brad Pitt - he seems to have lost his youthful plumpness, maybe even gained a few pounds. Anyone feels like making fun of HIM?

Older Brad Pitt by wvs. Younger Brad Pitt by vstyds.

I didn’t think so.

The pure GLEE with which these articles are written confuses me, because WE ARE ALL AGING. Why would you make fun of someone for going through a completely natural process - one you’re going through as well?

It’s no longer acceptable to criticize people because of their religion, their sexual preference, their weight or their race, but it’s fine - hell it’s even fun - to berate a 73 years old woman for looking her age.

Ageism, when directed at women, remains the last acceptable form of discrimination.

This photo of me was taken last year in Marseilles, France. Look at those hands! They sure weren’t so veiny when I was 20. Well guess what, I AM NOT TWENTY. I AM 37. I work out, as I should, I am strong and healthy, and since my hands are losing fat layers due to aging, my veins show, especially when it’s hot. What exactly am I supposed to do? Stop exercising? Cover myself with long sleeves regardless of the weather? (Vogue seems to think this is an acceptable solution).

And what should I do as my face progressively shows more signs of aging? Hide behind scarves and sunglasses? Resort to Botox injections and expensive, painful, RISKY plastic surgery? How do you think these articles make me feel about my own aging? How do they make YOU feel?

We have allowed aging to become something women are ashamed of. It makes absolutely no sense.

Brigitte Bardot is not a bombshell anymore, but she is a beautiful woman. She lives her life passionately, refuses to undergo plastic surgery, and when she announces a press conference, she can still pack a room.

If this is not aging gracefully, then I don’t know what is.

A Tough Parenting Decision

MomGrind — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 08:00:19 +0000

My daughter broke her elbow two years ago at the playground. It was relatively serious. The bone had to be manipulated back into place at the OR, under general anesthesia.

She’s fine now. But the injury was bad enough, that we were asked by the orthopedic surgeon to return for a follow-up X-ray every six months. He says that because of the trauma to the bone, it could stop growing at any time, and that would require immediate action.

Today, she had her fourth X-ray.

I trust her surgeon. He’s the very best. The hospital - Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford - is the very best. The surgeon says the amount of radiation is minimal. It goes to her arm and not to internal organs. Her abdomen is protected. He says not to worry.

But my child is being exposed to radiation every six months.

Today he told me he wants to see her once a year from now on.

I asked, again, about the X-rays. He reassured me, again.

“But what if I just don’t bring her in anymore? I mean, what would be more risky? Stopping the follow-ups or exposing her to radiation?”

He maintained that the X-Rays are safe.

My own research supports this: the radiation from an X-ray to the arms or legs exposes a person to a few days’ worth of natural radiation (from sources such as the sun). The additional risk of cancer per examination is considered negligible, at less than 1 in 1,000,000.

I marked the date in my calendar, and thought: I wish she could make this decision for herself. I hate that I have to make this decision for her. I know that X-rays are considered safe. But there are so many things that doctors and scientists THINK they know, only to find out later they were very wrong. And what if these minimal, safe, recurring amounts of radiation join other factors and cause cancer, many years from now?

I may be paranoid and overprotective. The X-rays may be completely harmless. As parents, we are used to making everyday decisions that affect our children. We HAVE to make these decisions for them. But sometimes, the responsibility for another person’s well-being, for another person’s life, feels like too much.

Most Flattering Jeans

MomGrind — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 04:00:55 +0000

Photo credit: lemoncat1

Which jean style is the most flattering? Which is best avoided? And what do all these terms mean, anyway? Here’s a quick guide to jeans.

1. Flared Jeans

Flared jeans are narrow along the thigh and knee, widen at the calf and have a wide leg opening. They look great with fitted tops and platform shoes that balance out the flare. The flare on the bottom has a slimming effect on the thighs.
VERDICT: Go ahead.

Photo credit: Nic Name

2. Boot Cut Jeans

These are cut straight at the thigh and flare a little at the ankles. They have a slimming, elongating effect, especially when worn with high heels.
VERDICT: go ahead.

Photo credit: gohsuket

3. Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are tight jeans that end in a narrow leg opening. Generally, skinny jeans look best on long-legged boyish figures. It’s best to avoid them if you have a fuller figure. This young woman is wearing them very well, with high heels and a tunic:

Photo credit: gohsuket

But they can be seriously unflattering:

Photo credit: Malingering

VERDICT: Proceed with caution.

4. Straight Leg Jeans

These jeans are cut with a narrow, straight leg. The leg does not become wider at the calf or ankles. Just like skinny jeans, these are flattering on boyish figures, not so much on fuller figures.
VERDICT: proceed with caution.

Photo credit: hyena-in-petticoats

5. Mom Jeans or tapered jeans

These have a generous cut along the thighs and the behind and become narrower toward the ankle. This look is very unflattering because it makes the thighs and behind look bigger.
VERDICT: best avoided.

Photo credit: glindsay65

6. Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend jeans are cut with a large waist, loose legs and large pockets. They’re a good choice for fuller figures. Wear them with a fitted top to avoid a slouchy look.
VERDICT: go ahead.

Photo credit: Idhren

7. Low Rise Jeans

Low rise jeans are are intended to sit low on, or below, the hips. This popular style is flattering only if the waist is not too tight (if it is, you will get a muffin top), and especially if you have a flat or an almost flat tummy.
VERDICT: proceed with caution.

Photo credit: luby

Make sure that the rise is not so low that you show more than you probably intended to show:

Photo credit: smadness

8. High-Waist Jeans

On the opposite spectrum from low rise jeans, these have a waist that is cut high and fully covers the tummy. These should be worn with a fitted top and look great on an hourglass figure. The main problem with this cut: it makes the thighs and behind look bigger.
VERDICT: proceed with caution.

Photo credit: Minirobot

9. Wide-Legged Jeans

These are cut narrow in the waist, wide along the hips and thighs and have a wide leg opening. This is a forgiving style if you have large hips and thighs. Just like boyfriend jeans, it’s best to pair them with a fitted top. This style is not flattering to very short women since it tends to make them look even shorter.
VERDICT: proceed with caution.

Photo credit: coutorture

10. Distressed, torn, or ripped Jeans

It’s a trend that I don’t really get, but it’s very popular.

This is too much:

Photo credit: malingering

This is too, but she’s young and gorgeous and can pull it off:

Photo credit: Akbar Simonse

VERDICT: best avoided.

11. Colored Jeans

These don’t have the classic jean look, and can’t be paired with any color, but they can certinaly make a statement.
VERDICT: proceed with caution.

Photo credit: gohsuket

12. Cropped Jeans or Capri jeans

Cropped jeans cover about three quarters of the leg. In capri jeans, the jean ends just below the knees. The main problem with this cut is that it tends to shorten the legs, so it is best worn by women with long, thin legs. So, while the cut looks good on her:

Photo credit: Malingering

It is not very flattering on her:

Photo credit: A Candid Life

VERDICT: proceed with caution.

My favorite jean style: moderately low rise, flared jeans. While bootcut is a classic, always-appropriate style, it seems a bit too conservative and lacks the flare that flared jeans have.

Are Blogs And eBooks Inferior To Printed Books?

MomGrind — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 08:00:07 +0000

I haven’t read a single book since I started blogging nine months ago.

It’s not that I stopped reading. I read more now than I ever have before. But I do all my reading online. Instead of reading books, I read blogs.

People used to worry that the internet would be the end of reading and writing. It wasn’t. We are surrounded by more text than ever before, and since the internet enables people to publish their own material, it is also a great equalizer that enables us to discover writers that we would not have heard of otherwise.

So I’m still an avid reader, right? Perhaps. But some say that “reading” only refers to printed books. That blogs and ebooks are less valuable than printed books. I recently heard an interesting distinction between reading blogs and reading books: online, you SURF. Or maybe SCAN. You don’t READ.

In addition, the very fact that blogs and ebooks are self-published and don’t go through an editorial selection process means that many of them are indeed of a lower quality than printed material. This article is an excellent example: it’s an assortment of ideas - interesting ideas perhaps, but no doubt the writing here is “writing for the web.” Quick, shallow, grammatically challenged and not very polished.

Avital of Creativity Prompt tagged me, ages ago, for a book meme. One of the meme’s questions: has a book ever fundamentally changed the way you see life? My answer: yes, of course. There were several, but most notably, Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment made me realize, during a time of great emotional turmoil as a teenager, how fragile and precious and absolutely wonderful life is:

“Where was it that I read about a man condemned to death saying or thinking, an hour before his death, that if he had to live somewhere high up on a cliffside, on a ledge so narrow that there was room only for his two feet - and with the abyss, the ocean, eternal darkness, eternal solitude, eternal strom all around him - and had to stay like that, on a square foot of space, an entire lifetime, a thousand years, an eternity - it would be better to live so than to die right now! Only to live, to live, to live!”

Can a blog change my life the way a book has? Clay Collins of Finance Your Freedom thinks it can’t. He said a few months ago in a tweet that I marked and saved as one of my favorites: “Several books have changed my life. Forever. A blog’s never had the same impact.”

Over to you now.

Do you read books?

Do you think blogs and ebooks are inferior to printed books?

Has a book ever changed YOUR life?

Comment of the day: I’m hooked on books. If I don’t have the next one I am going to read ready at all times, I get edgy. But I only read crap. The crappier the better. I love paranormal romance novels. It’s true. I do. Suzie of Up THe Hill Backwards.

Female Athletes: “Our Skimpy Outfits Are Not Sexist”

MomGrind — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 03:00:19 +0000

Are female athletes judged by performance, or by hotness?

Looking at their outfits, the answer seems to be clear. Especially when it comes to beach volleyball.

Image credit: david.bunting

As a result, women - and only women - are often photographed from this interesting angle:

Image credit: david.bunting

I have yet to see a male player photographed from this angle and at such a closeup.

Runners

Although not as extreme as beach volleyball, female runners are significantly more exposed than male runners.

Image credit: spitfirelas

Tennis

Roomy tees and bermuda shorts for men, tiny skirts and tank tops for women. Awesome.

Image credit: vedia

Google search results

It’s interesting to note, that when I performed a Google search for “female athletes”, six results out of the nine results on the first page were some variation on “Hottest female athletes” (there was a single result for “top earning female athletes”). When I performed a similar search for “male athletes”, there were just three “hot male athletes” results.

Lingerie Football League

Inspired by the Superbowl halftime special, The LFL is a ten team league that will begin play in September 2009.

I guess the main question here is why do individual women choose to participate in this?

One possible answer was given elsewhere by one of my readers, Computer Addict. According to him, these women are “willing participants in an enterprise predicated on making money by depicting women as sexual objects.” He continues, “Is that strange? Far less strange than black slave owners, or anti-Semitic Jews. Personal gains, be it money, power or fame, often trump one’s self-identification with class, gender, ethnicity or race.”

Web Pages That Illustrate My Point

Egregious Beach Volleyball Photos

The World’s Sexiest Sports For Women

What the athletes are saying

I was curious to know how the women feel about their outfits, so I contacted a few of them. The reaction in general: “this is not sexism. It’s about performance.” Makes sense, until you consider that the men are able to perform just fine with roomier clothes that provide more coverage.

This is what the athletes had to say:

Donna MacFarlane, a high-profile Australian runner, said:

“Competition gear is about feeling comfortable and the two piece outfits are usually the best for ease of movement and to cope with hot conditions. I don’t think outfits should be skimpy just for the sake of it. Women have a choice of what they wear- even in major Championships women are allowed to be more covered up if they want, it’s usually just not practical.”

Heather Bravo, a volleyball player, said:

“Does it ever bother me? The outfits themselves do not. When I was first starting off yes they did but over the years I have grown accustomed to them.

A form of sexism? I would have to say no. It actually is a lot more comfortable to wear short spandex, of course not when your butt is hanging out the bottom but it is actually more comfortable than basketball shorts.

The last question (I asked her if people would still watch women’s volleyball if the women were dressed more like the men v.d.).. In my heart I would like to say it doesn’t matter, but this 2008 Olympic volleyball teams got a ton of coverage, and some of that might have been due to their outfits, or that the girls were gorgeous but I think that womens volleyball will be watched because people like to see girls in a competitive light.. In a masculine way. The fact they are in smaller outfits just eggs the guys on.”

Tamao Nakayama, another volleyball player, said:

“1. Does it ever bother you? I choose ones that don’t bother me. I don’t buy the ones that have big decorative materials (metals, beads and such). Bikinis are better than one piece. Sand gets inside while you are playing, and with a bikini you can get rid of sand easier.

2. Do you think it’s a form of sexism? Don’t know about international organizations, but AVP doesn’t require players to wear bikinis. Neither do other American volleyball organizations, I think. My answer is no. Athletes are wearing whatever they are comfortable with.

3. Do you believe people would still watch women’s beach volleyball if outfits were more like men’s outfits? People who love this sport will continue watching. The viewers who just wanted to see hot bodies will stop watching. Let me ask you this. Why there is no ping-pong TV program? Ping-pong has awesome long rallies than beach volleyball, and it’s fun sport to watch. By the way, it’s not only female players that are getting attentions. All male players play without T-shirt in pro tours. Lots of ladies love to watch them. That’s the reality.”

Finally, Renee Cleary, who is also a volleyball player, said:

“I don’t feel that wearing bikinis to play beach volleyball is a form of sexism. As players, we are free to pick any style of bathing suit or clothes to play in. I believe that the international league (FIBV) has a 4″ maximum on the hip width of the bottom but otherwise all the tournaments in the US allow players to wear outfits of their choice, including one-piece suits, shorts or leggings.

Personally, I wear bikinis that are most comfortable for me to play in. I prefer Brazilian styles because with less material there are fewer places for the sand to get stuck, and it may seem counter intuitive but this style stays in place better for me. If I’m cold, I play in a long sleeve shirt and pants.

I don’t really know if fewer people would watch matches if women’s outfits were more like men’s but as a player I wouldn’t like this because it’s usually very hot and the material would stick to my legs. Also, shorts create terrible tan lines.”

Do you think these women are refusing to acknowledge they’re being exploited? Are they, as Computer Addict said, willing participants? When they choose skimpy outfits, is it a real choice, or do they feel they’re expected to look a certain way? Am I totally off base here and it’s all about comfort and performance?

Comment Of The Day: Men control Sports Media and Events, hence the outfit. No need to debate. We’re just dogs and we can’t help it. Chris of Wat da Wat.

I Read A Vogue Article And Now My Brain Hurts

MomGrind — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 03:00:31 +0000

The article’s opening paragraph completely changed my life.

“There are three things a woman really needs at 38: a husband, at least one child, and a dress with long sleeves.”

Brilliant.

The husband and child need not be explained. It is a well-known fact that a woman cannot be complete unless she is married and a mother.

The long sleeves were baffling, until I read further and learned that a woman must always be ashamed of her arms and cover them: “A lot of women who have flabby arms think they have to wear sleeves. But I think if you have muscly arms, you must cover them. You must soften them!”

Of course. Regardless of how your body looks, you must be ashamed of it and cover it. Flabby arms? Cover them! You work out and have great biceps? OMYGOD YOU’RE NOT FEMININE, COVER THOSE UNSIGHTLY MUSCLES! You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.

The article ends with the heartbreaking story of an evening gone very, very wrong: “I made a grave error. I had been invited to a dinner party at a grand house in the English countryside… I decided to wear a sleeveless Zac Posen dress. I arrived to find the hostess in gray silk and diamonds. The other girls were in chiffons… the men were in white tuxedos.”

So we already know this was a party for school girls and adult men. Because who in their right mind would call a grown woman “a girl?” That would be demeaning, belittling and totally inappropriate.

She continues: “It was pouring rain. Despite the storm, the hostess elected to keep the huge windows of her dining room thrown open all night… I was forced to put an inexpensive Club Monaco turtleneck over my Zac dress (THE HORROR! v.d.). I felt cold and unchic. If only I had worn sleeves.”

I think my head just exploded.

Comment of the day: “How about: by 38 a woman should have enough personality and self confidence to not care if she has to put on a turtleneck over her dress at a party because she’s cold.” Marelisa of Abundance Blog At Marelisa Online. The idea for “comment of the day” is from the fabulous Blogess. I don’t know if it’s going to be a regular feature here on MomGrind, but Marelisa’s comment was so good, I had to find a way to include it in the article.
