Laughter and Your Hot Body

Written by 

If you haven't read I Heart My Vagina yet, you probably should. Everyone else has. It was the first article I posted here and I have resigned myself to the likelihood that it will be the most read article I will ever write. I always have been a 'strong starter'. Sigh.

If you have read it, you know that I’m quite the advocate of a largely underrated thing called self-esteem and so whenever I come across musings on such topics of body love, I do stop to take it in. Now, if such musings happen to be really quite funny, I may stick around and see what other hilarity I may be able to dig up. This brings me to my dirty little secret, who’s not really a secret at all as she’s hella-popular, The Bloggess.

If irreverent satire isn’t your thing…if you’re offended by vulgarity, absurdity and being nasty for nasty’s sake, you may want to skip diving into her world…or you may want to give it a go anyway and lighten up a little.

Here's a post called Lesson 22: Body acceptance for Kids, click on it for a full read. 

Below is an exerpt...what makes it Sacred? You'll see...

But here’s something I will tell you ... there is a pattern to body acceptance that comes with age. It’s over-generalized and I just made it up, but that doesn’t make it less true. Here it is: 

  • What babies think about their bodies: I have a body?
  • What toddlers think about their bodies: Why can’t I get this to work? 
  • What little boys think about their bodies: I can pee standing up. I am obsessed with my penis. 
  • What little girls think about their bodies: I am beautiful. When do I get my wings? 
  • What pre-teen boys think about their bodies: What the fuck is happening? 
  • What pre-teen girls think about their bodies: This is going to happen EVERY MONTH? 
  • What teen boys think about their bodies: I can pee standing up. I am obsessed with my penis. 
  • What teen girls think about their bodies: I am hideous and I wish I looked like that girl. 
  • What men think about their bodies: I can pee standing up. I am obsessed with my penis. 
  • What women think about their bodies: I am hideous and I wish I looked like I did when I was a teenager. 
  • What old men think about their bodies: What the hell happened to my penis? 
  • What old women think about their bodies: Fuck you. I’m awesome.
