this is really the last one...

My name is Kelly Moon.

Here is a website that is working towards getting human rights in indigeneous countries, as well as everywhere else around the world, for all women and families. It has some very interesting and compelling articles.

One last post

Another reality show on MTV - Making The Band. Ok, don't judge, but I totally got into it at the end of this last season. These girls really have dreams and they work their asses off to meet the standards. I admire them for putting themselves out there for their dreams and aspirations. Then, I hear crap like P. Diddy, the host, saying crap like, "We're going to Miami! This means it's time for bathing suits and asses! These girls have got to be HOT! and I want to see some bathing suits and them shakin' some ASSES!" Ok, these girls are like 21-22, and girls as young as 13-14 are watching this.....If I wasn't secure enough in myself (and KNOW i will never be their size) I would feel pretty crappy about myself and if i was 13 or 14, i would now want to walk around in barely there clothing and feel sexy! at 14! I don't want any 14 year old girls striving to be sexy! I hate that he ignored the well being of his audience, and i hate that MTV is so bound and determined to sex up this country. ok, it's more than MTV. I'm sad that the majority of the country feels the need to sex everything up. it's disturbing and getting priorities messed up. If you actually read this, Dr. Lambiase, I apologize for my rantings:) Have a good holiday! at least as good as you can.

Another boob post

I heard this on the radio..."Out to dinner breast augmentation." Yeah, that's right. They are promising a less than 24 hour recovery time. You can go in, get bigger boobs, and "be ready to wear them out by dinner time." This advertisement was actually saying shit like this. We are so obsessed with boobs that getting your boobs done is as easy, and takes as little time and recovery, as going in for a dental check-up. I'd rather get the dental check up.....

the new graduation presents....for HIGH SCHOOL!

I heard a very disturbing story. Apparently there is a new fad in HIGH SCHOOL graduation gifts for girls....BOOB JOBS!!! yeah, there are more and more parents getting their teenage daughters boob jobs for graduation and getting them before prom. i guess this is so they can fill out whatever skanky dress they are wanting, when Lord knows they would look better in another dress for less endowed girls and they will feel stupid in 20 years. oh well, sometimes i feel like our societies ideal body image is getting more realistic, and then stuff like this comes up:-(

christmas presents

With the holidays coming around, got to start thinking about presents. It's funny, and sad, when I think about what I should get for the younger kids. Boys get boy things and girls get girly things. Is it because they really deep down want these gender specific toys? Or is it because we tell them they should stick with their gender and want them? Sex is biological, gender is created. That's all i've got to say about that.

Halloween costumes

I have written down several things to put in this journal, but have not actually posted them. Silly, I know. But here we go.

I had the hardest time this year at Halloween, because of the parts women are supposed to play. When it comes to costumes, while men can be funny, sexy, scary, original, whatever, women ahve to be sexy and slutty. At our age, those are the requirements and the women that deviate from that are not talked to as often in the night. I know this is not the case for every group of people, but it is definitely the majority in college age people. I am lucky to have friends on both sides, but with my funny and not sexy at all costume, there were parties i didn't bother going to. irritating.....
