Why does embellishment on a top or dress hem stop at theside seam? It's espescially funky when the embellishment(embroidery orribbon work, etc) is particularly wide in front. The opposite of amullet -- party in the front and all business in the back. I'm sure it'sa matter of manufacturer money savings, but in all seriousness, it lookscheap.http://www.catay.com/2010/04/thought-of-day-2010-104-fashion-forward.htmnoreply@blogger.com (Cat)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601702.post-8225957539182545312Mon, 26 Apr 2010 06:31:00 +00002010-04-26T11:34:04.126-06:00Formspring ResponsesI hope you dont mind me sharing the link to our trailer FAT, a new feature documentary that explores size acceptance and size discrimination.

I live on a hobby farm, so we have lots of animals -- dogs, cats, sheep, and chickens. None of the animals live inside, so while I enjoy petting the cats and dogs that wander the property, I don't consider them as my pets. I think if they were inside and slept on my bed, I'd call 'em my own. My last pet, Kipper, died a couple of years ago after 18 years of faithful companionship.

The metallic sheen adds a depth that you just don't have in regular printing. The lighter colors POP from the paper and moving your eyes across the image gives some of the prints a 3D appeal.

I think it takes more than parental involvement. It might take req courses in grade school thr HS. It's that bad. I know of several cases.Of course it's from my perspective. All of this crap in my blog is from my own perspective. :-) I don't understand, however, how classes in school would help to encourage self-esteem. It just doesn't seem like the appropriate place for development of solid self-worth. I do think there should be civics classes which would emphasize respect for fellow man.

I'm not sure if you mean my artsy fartsy photo collages (http://www.catay.com/2010/03/few-more-digital-collages_25.htm) or my Photo Selections of the Week?I only think the latter because you said you find them sexy and I don't consider my artsy fartsy collages as "sexy".

Clearly, the bullies are kids that are attempting to bring other kids down to their level. The have crappy self esteem and they're attempting to feel better by pointing out other's faults. Do I think tht bullying is SOOOO wrong that it's criminal? Nope. That is unless it's physical violence. But, physical violence is covered under other laws, so really, anti-bullying http://www.catay.com/2010/04/thought-of-day-2010-96-bullying-part-2.htmnoreply@blogger.com (Cat)0
