So, how IS your mother? And, do you really WANT to be a MILF?" I thought he left this comment because he is a Virgo, like me. And someone enquiring after my mother would, I presumed, know me in the off-blog world. And, he doesn't have a blog of his own. However, twasn't him. So, my anonymous friend, let me know who you are, please. it was NOT Sysm.
Anonymous (not SYSM) poses an interesting question, to which I have a simple answer: I don't really care. The whole MILF thing to me is a joke, which is why I chose my moniker. I rebel against labels of all sorts, whether they are applied to me or to others. I spent too much time in marketing; the whole concept of grouping people into segments with labels offends me deeply.But I do have a self image. And that self image is plucky, independent, sassy and wears chic clothes. This isn't about sex appeal; personally, I believe people can be sexy in all shapes and sizes. But my size is starting to edge up to where it's interfering with my self image.
I want to be one of those glamor girls from the age of black and white films, or a 1920's flapper going to gin joints and dancing to jazz. Or Sophia Loren. Or Grace Kelly. Someone with poise and elegance.
I am not maintaining myself. And the less I maintain myself, the less self-dignity I feel. And the less self-dignity I feel, the less inclined to maintain myself I am. It's a vicious circle.
But I am a smart lady and I will snap out of it. I'm just bitchin' and moanin. And admitting it is the first step to change!
