Best Breasts is a Booby Trap

Written on October 13th, 2009 by Susan Harrow3 shouts

Who thought up the voting for best breasts poll? You can vote on who has the biggest and best rack from gross to gorgeous on the Huffington Post, and plenty of people have.

What woman in her right mind wants people to evaluate her hooters?

Deformity on the Inside, Beauty on the Outside

Written on October 11th, 2009 by Susan Harrow2 shouts

David Roche is the pastor of the Church of 80% Sincerity. He has a severe facial deformity that people don’t notice so much after he speaks for a while and they get over the shock of it and see his radiance. He says that people with facial deformities wear their shadow on the outside whereas the rest of us wear it on the inside.

A Body Image Experiment You Want Me To Do?

Written on October 9th, 2009 by Susan Harrow2 shouts

As you all know by now I stripped, went totally buff, naked, nude, no panties, all-natural, at a friend’s house as an experiment. Many of you wrote in on other social networks about that.

I’d love to hear about a body experiment you’ve done,

or….

Are You Comfortable Naked?

Written on October 7th, 2009 by Susan Harrow5 shouts

I’m not.

Last week I performed an experiment. I took off my clothes at my friends house in front of her and her 15 year old daughter.

Why? Because I want to feel completely unencumbered by my body.

Body image: Helping kids feel good about themselves

Written on October 1st, 2009 by Susan Harrowno shouts

Our self image begins once we become aware we are separate from our parents. So what they think, say and do we naturally imitate. Often messages from our parents are transmitted unconsciously. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Check out this article with advice from Dr. Brian Alman on how conscious parenting can instill a strong sense of self for your children.

Fat Girl Thin Girl: It’s never just right

Written on September 30th, 2009 by Susan Harrowno shouts

My neighbor told me he thought I looked better when I was heavier. He didn’t exactly come out with it right away, but kept alluding to it until I finally got it.

At first, a few weeks ago, he stopped his car on his way home, leaned out his window and said I was looking leaner by the day. I fondled his two tiny dogs while we chatted about my Aikido training.

Tyra Banks: Which body part do you hate most?

Written on September 28th, 2009 by Susan Harrowno shouts

The Tyra Show just submitted a query asking for:

Do you have a body part that you absolutely hate and sometimes feel ashamed of? Are you constantly finding ways to cover it up or hide it? Do you always feel anxious whenever out in public, perhaps fearing that others are staring at you because of a self-perceived body flaw? If you have serious issues with one of your body parts, and wish you could change it, contact us.

Mackenzie Phillips Sleeps With Her Dad

Written on September 25th, 2009 by Susan Harrow2 shouts

You don’t have to sleep with or have been raped by your dad to feel bad about yourself, your body or your sexuality. The Mackenzie Phillips revelation, while shocking, is more common that most of us would like to believe. 1 out of every 6 American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (National Institute of Justice & Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Prevalence, Incidence and Consequences of Violence Against Women Survey. 1998.).

Today The World Told Me

Written on September 17th, 2009 by Susan Harrowno shouts

Today the world told me that I should leave my aches and pains to someone who really knows. Someone who has cancer, or a brain tumor, or whose leg has been chewed off by a wolf.

Today the world told me to let up a little, to not push so hard at doing. I ask myself, “What is rest?” And I must say he’s a poor acquaintance, and often unwelcome at my door.

Today the world told me that perhaps what I wish for is something not so big. A little loosening around the waist and eyes could be good, to let in a little more seeing and a little less thinking.

My Mother and Her Mother and Me

Written on September 16th, 2009 by Susan Harrowno shouts

When my mother and her mother are exuberant they laugh in gulps and snorts and wild hog sloppiness that tell me the forest bleeds into them with leaves and dirt and all that is unsanitary and necessary.

When my mother and her mother are enchanting the world goes right for a very long time.

When my mother and her mother make emblems-after all we are descended from the first pope-and are not overly proud about it, but merely properly pleased, we feel closer to God, as if we had privilege before others, though deep down are sad, because we know there is no truth to that.

Jennifer Connelly: See through red dress draws almost 1000 comments

Written on September 15th, 2009 by Susan Harrowno shouts

I’m afraid of what men would think of me if they saw me naked…or semi-naked. Some of the comments from Huffington Post on Jennifer Connelly’s red dress from from men are both heartening and scary.

One blog commentor wrote:
Ladies: this is NOT attractive. she appears a little too old to be wearing something so revealing; and what she is revealing looks a little too saggy to be revealed. maybe it’s her poor posture in the photo that’s doing it, but it makes me wince.
