Comment on Marriage Is A Human Construct. by Meg

I agree with you, sort of. It is made up. That being said, the pursuit of a happy life IS a human right. If making a public declaration/commitment is how you define happiness (as many do), then it sort of follows that marriage is a human right.

I get your point though.

Comment on How having a cat changed my mind about everything. by Meg

All true. That being said, I think the flip side of it is watching Jake sit in a sunbeam. Watching him chase toys or play with his tail. Listening to him purr his brains out when you give him a good head scratch.

Having children is terrifying, but it’s also amazing. I’m not trying to talk you into or out of anything- what you do is ultimately up to you- but don’t NOT do something you want out of fear of what COULD happen. You’ll miss out on what does.

Deactivating Facebook, there is a thought.

Hey now, there’s no again, this was the first time I’ve deactivated my Facebook! Until now, I’ve been on there since early 2008.

I have, however, de/re/de-activated my profiles on orkut and friendster and myspace and all the other social media sites that spun their webs into me.

Need a break!

I do miss seeing the status updates that guilt you into re-posting. Like “I know only a few of my friends will re-post this, and those that do will reveal themselves not to be lying, degenerate scumbags”.

He deactivated again? Jeez. He’ll be back. Till then, you just have an imaginary boyfriend, and that’s OK.

Comment on “Ides” sounds so ominous. But that’s neither here nor there. by Jay

It’s funny how certain days in our lives always have that “feel” to them for so many reasons. I felt that way about the anniversary for my first marriage for a few years too. Then I had a revelation about it similar to yours about how it happened and it was great while it happened but it just fell apart. Now granted my ex and I also have a child together so that’s a little different. I wouldn’t change any of it though, some beautiful things are meant to be that way eternally and some are fleeting moments in time, both beautiful moments though.

Meh. We never know where life is going to take us. The important part is to live, live, live! You’re happy now, right?
PS-I’ve gone through half a bottle of grenache myself. I think I need a refill…

if you do, let me know; i’m still trying to feel that way. i think once you have a body image issue (*cough* ~98% of women), you never get over it completely. but dammit if a bunch of us aren’t still trying. come join and fight the good fight – it’s amazing what you can accomplish along the way

Also, I think the better you stress that you’ll make everyone comfortable, regardless of age/body size the better the reception will be. I’ve seen some places in LA that specialize in plus-size pin ups and they have LOYAL clients who recommend them far and wide – people travel in just for these pictures. Even just simple gestures, like wearing a robe between dressing room and portrait area go a long way for people who like the idea of being made beautiful but aren’t 100% comfortable in their own skin.

The ones that I have seen were mostly advertised either word-of-mouth (I have a friend who gets hers done regularly; mostly pin-up types of pics) or through hair/make-up stylists. Those folks work hand-in-hand with photographers so they usually can recommend someone. My hairdresser has a list of people she recommends for different events (one photog. specializes in weddings, this person is better at outdoor stuff, this one is great at corporate events, this one is the best for baby pics, etc.). You might ask some of the local stylists if they could recommend you or for a two-way referral. Most of the places that I have seen offer packages that include a hairstylist, make-up artist, and costumer in addition to photos. If you could team up with, say, a hairstylist and have them promote to their clients…
