I hate to admit it, but if I did, I would be just as immature and juvenile as the boys you described in your post.<BR/><BR/>Then my daughters would slap me senseless until I stopped.

I've created a reputation as a high-powered female exec and I don't want anyone to connect this blog with who I am. Also, I still do modelling (I recently did a catalog shoot) that I keep completely separate from my work.<BR/><BR/><B>Michelle,</B> balanced or not, you are always modest, kind, and devoted to your family.<BR/><BR/><B>Barbara,</B> I know the type. But often that type is rather hard-boiled. I try never to be like that. My friends are of all types, shapes, and sizes and not one of them feels 'inferior' to me because they <B>aren't </B>and I don't let them. But oftentimes, women who are that hardboiled type alienate everyone around them. I used to work with a woman who was Miss Florida once, and she told us <B>constantly</B> "I was once Miss Florida" as she would toss back her long, straight black hair and give us a red-lipped sneering type of smile. She was a very unpleasant woman.<BR/><BR/><B>Oldhorsetailsnake,</B> thanks!<BR/><BR/><B>Daniel,</B> oh yes! I also haven't talked about my acting, which I will another time. I've been in movies, just don't talk about it (for the same reasons). I also dated a very famous actor once. He was actually the least significant person in my life, so it's probably not worth mentioning.<BR/><BR/><B>Aral,</B> I will definately get new pics of her up this week! I have another story about her.<BR/><BR/><B>Eddo,</B> thanks! It <B>was</B> tons of fun!<BR/><BR/><B>Godlessmom,</B> oh yes, you are right! Anorexia is a huge issue, as well as the mental health aspect of it. That's why I tell people who ask me about getting their kids to model...think long and hard about it, first.<BR/><BR/><B>TC,</B> *s*Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1123633433650009392005-08-09T20:23:00.000-04:002005-08-09T20:23:00.000-04:00How neat to be a mannequin model!I hope you'll pos...How neat to be a mannequin model!<BR/>I hope you'll post some pics of yourself.<BR/>We know you're balanced, so don't worry.

I think that's a blessing. If you start off from day one being treated as "a beauty", I think that's potentially very detrimental to your development.<BR/><BR/>Pie! Pie! PIE! PIE!

I hope my daughter doesn't have a desire to get into it, I would really worry about the whole anorexia thing. I also agree with your take on the beautiful=lack of personality and heart thing. Of course there are exceptions but many of the truly beautiful people I've known haven't had a whole lot more going for them.GodlessMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320735063731458102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1123585349886843242005-08-09T07:02:00.000-04:002005-08-09T07:02:00.000-04:00er...that was models, not medels. :per...that was models, not medels. :pSaur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1123585316632896182005-08-09T07:01:00.000-04:002005-08-09T07:01:00.000-04:00Mallory, Thanks, hon.

Believe it or not, I have a very poor self image and I often mentally sit back in bemusement and watch, detached, as people tell me I'm attractive. I don't see it most of the time. I simply model because it's something different to do.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is that most medels look great in printwork or on TV but they are of average looks (at best) in real life. I know one girl who was a Playboy model with an Amazon's body and a horse's face. But in print, all the angles and awkwardness transformed into something spectacular. And, of course, she was as shallow as Pam Anderson. 99% of them are.Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1123580790116601232005-08-09T05:46:00.000-04:002005-08-09T05:46:00.000-04:00I have mixed emotions on the topic.

Life however deals some of us "other" cards to play. Growing up with 3 older brothers in a tight age spread did not leave a lot of room for "pretty". Being sized to Amazon proportions did not help much either. High School is hard on girls who are less than "cute". It was not pleasant for me, and not pleasant for my youngest. (oldest takes after the other half *S*) On the other hand, my gifts took me in directions that have been very rewarding and satisfying <BR/><BR/>I envy you in that you have managed to get it all. I respect you in that you have recognized that character and intellect run deeper. One is an ephemeral gift of limited personal value, the other two are rewards of lasting value<BR/><BR/>Hugsmalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182913972445521943noreply@blogger.com
