Y'all have probably seen this, but whatever.

- Jessica Simpson, the mountain out of a molehill celebrity thing. Jesus H CHRIST, people, look at how cute she is! Lookit the wee belly! I think she's gorgeous with a little extra weight. Stupid mass media, making me side with Ashlee Simpson, but: is this the message you want to send your daughters? Is it surprising that our country has such a high incidence of eating disorders?

- Why is Venus on a diet? I FOAMED when I got this in my e-mail, and I seriously considered whether I should post it again. But if we don't rage and flail when stupid shit like this happens, people will forget that it is indeed the stupidest of shit. Also, plz consult my earlier rant about the goddess being represented as a) white, and b) too skinny to lift a sword or an apple.

- Icon Me Monday, or "I think I'm linking my thread correctly."

In live in a very Northern town in a very Southern state, sorry. My movement professor has contacts all over the country though. Want me to ask her about a particular area in the Mid-West? One of the benifits of having a professor who is an instructor with the SAFD, BASCC, and Dueling Arts International, is she knows pretty much EVERYBODY.

I'm in southeastern Kansas-- about three hours away from either Wichita or Kansas City. Judging from looking through the area papers and stuff, most all of the bigger theater programs are at least a couple of hours away, but thank you for the offer! I just love hearing about that stuff, even if I can't participate at the moment. :-)
