Body Image...

Just today I had a conversation with a client to that effect, ABG. I'll never understand why women view each other as competition rather than comrades. My mom could never retain female friends- she would get all competitive weird with them and before long there would be a huge falling-out. (She was the same way with us girls). What's really funny is that she fancied herself a feminist.

I think we hold each other back from success in this world more than any glass ceiling constructed by the good ol' boy's club. I try not to be part of that problem, and I will quickly distance myself from any woman who I suspect is like my mom. My radar is pretty good, and as such the female friendships I do have are longstanding and mutually respectful.

And Pru? Please stop referring to yourself as ugly, because it's not true. I won't have anyone talking about my friend that way, all right?
