It could be that DH has been working away. Could be that when DS woke up with a nightmare last night all that would calm him was getting into bed with me and watching a Wiggles DVD. But did anyone else think "mmm, Wiggles in sexy photoshoot" and like the thought?
OK, just me then. But that was the part of the article that I liked.
Back on topic...
I think the best thing we can do for our daughters and the other young girls that we know is to show that it's OK to love your "imperfect" body. It's OK to love your mates' "imperfect" bodies too. I wore a pretty outfit today and you know what - I don't give a stuff that I was standing at 6'3 tall (188cm) and my outfit showed I have what is kindly referred to as an "athletic" figure. I looked good. I was aiming to look professional and honest, due to a court hearing earlier in the day, but I still looked fabulous. Not sexy - just well-dressed. I tell my friends that they look good when they do too. Which is quite a bit!
I just think if you want to look sexy, you are inviting people to see you in light of sex. And tbh I don't want others to see me like that. My DH yes, but not other people. They see me as a woman usually because of the longish hair and skirts rather than the undies! If I needed my undies (or photos in them) to tell me I'm a woman then why am I not checking I'm not a man when I shower? Surely that is easier than getting tarted up and selling my body to a magazine that men will... well... not be thinking "wow, I'd love an intellectual conversation with her" when they look at the pictures.
