Coach Elliott : dont even try it: I am alone at home at two am so I hear a bing on my door and realize that the alarm on the pad had been tampered with. I talk on the phone...
Whoopie Goldberg stars in this movie opposite Sissy Spacek. It is about a liberal white woman who has a police officer aplogize to her maid when he saw her in the park with her white children and called her a "nigger" and asked her to get out of the park immediately. The person played by Sissy Spacek is later blasted by her husband for making the officer apologize to a "nigger". Sissy defends her position and sticks to the fact that it was wrong and that this was a person who took care of her children. Still today there is this lack of respect for people of color that prompts me to say "the gays came out of the closet and the racist got in". I sincerely believe that racism is still alive and thriving in the souls of many people who still believe people of color are less than them and have a horrible disrespect and opinion of us. Yet we deny it. Not only whites but also people of color deny that racism is still an isssue. It may not be as overt...
I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head. All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once. I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life. In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old". In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him. Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun". To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...
First things first. The average woman in the US is a size 14 and might I add that some of those women are absolutely gorgeous. It is really not about your size but rather about how you feel about your body. Admittely it is hard to love your body when we are being bombarded with images of women that are so very far from the reality. In fact it has become an unhealthy and rather scary depiction of a woman, some almost look like a doll and some have actually had surgery to look like Barbie. There is even a real life Ken running around who was recently focused on in a documentary about plastic surgery. Almost ever part of his body was manufactured and surgically created. Never mind photo shop and all the cuts and pastes are done to present a woman in the best light possible and so that she looks incredible. Never mind that a lot of models are barely 21 made to look like they are 30. Although makeup is a wonderful thing for some, a lot of...
