are you there god?

it's me, kelly.

first, how are you? second, i've been really good this year and would like for you to deliver these items for christmas - oh wait! wrong list, baby jesus doesn't drive a sleigh.
in any case i hope you're doing well . . . the reason why i'm writing is because i'm confused about many of the "goings-on" in our society today (these concerns are largely focus on women's issues - so if you want you can stop reading this letter and attend to more important matters like the situation in afghanistan, starving children in third world countries, or AIDS in africa).
but if you do choose to keep reading (don't say i didn't warn you) here's what i'm wondering about:

*why are women starving themselves to fit into size 0 clothing? a woman's size 0 uses the same measurements as a size 8 in girls. why do healthy women with beautiful figures want to look like undeveloped 8 year old girls?

*why are girls going backward? seriously, if i ever walked out of the house with "juicy" printed across my ass - my mother would have marched me right back inside. i wouldn't even do it now. hello tacky!

*wtf on photoshopping?seriously! i think there are some occasions that call for a little photo retouching - but you still want the image to look natural and nearly identical to real life. but the magazines, the ads, etc. have got to curb their enthusiasm! everything is so airbrushed, so retouched that we are living with an extremely false perception of reality.

um i'm going to stop with these observations, if you or anyone reading this blog have answers to the above please let me know.

thanks god. tell mary i said what up.
