It was for the lip plumping things... The top of the picture said "Still sexy without plump lips?" Then it showed a picture of a woman with plump lips and another picture of the same woman with thin lips. Then below the pictures it said (directly quoted) "Thin lips are ugly on anyone."<br /><br />With all respect intended, I believe your husband is wrong. Advertisements are telling us, often straight out, that we are ugly if we do not look a certain way. I'll post some of the things I've seen on my blog if you want to see them.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907131024586024530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109378176648403566.post-81502956132989640112009-03-17T21:37:00.000-04:002009-03-17T21:37:00.000-04:00You are so welcome, and thanks so much for the enc...You are so welcome, and thanks so much for the encouraging words.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864934440190894300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109378176648403566.post-50738421174993164082009-03-13T11:18:00.000-04:002009-03-13T11:18:00.000-04:00Hello:First of all I want to say, I love your blog...Hello:<BR/>First of all I want to say, I love your blog! You really talk about interesting issues in an interesting manner :). <BR/><BR/>I also read Outliers: the Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell and was shocked at the fact he didn't give any credit to the other sex. But then again, men's egos.<BR/><BR/>I really think that as women we should support each other, whether it's through our blogs or info sharing. The time when men, like Gladwell, will recognize our contributions is not coming anytime soon. <BR/><BR/>And especially moms, like us, need all the support we can get, since motherhood isn't looked at by society as a difficult task, just part of our biological being, if you will.<BR/><BR/>I was so inspired by this that I joined a really cool Canadian site called ShareSavvy.ca. And you can post helpful venues and services to help other moms in your area. I also loved their articles on SavvyMom.ca, where they help make moms lives easier and not just dish out parenting tips.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this blog,<BR/>VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
