Are these people serious??? - It's a doll!

Have you heard the uproar over the Barbie that comes with stick on tattoos???

I am astounded by this! My 4 year old daughter and I have been so excited about getting this Barbie since the first time we saw it advertised. How cool - you can put tattoos not only on the Barbie, but it comes with ones for you as well. My husband and I both have tattoos and my daughter has a collection of fake tattoos. Hey, she wants to be like us. We are responsible members of society, lead normal lives and don't show off our bodies just to show off our tattoos. I believe for most people, tattoos are a little more personal than a way to show off their bodies. Besides, who knows if she will get older and want a tatoo or not, she is a kid and is PLAYING - it's what kids do!

Parents need to be responsible for their kids. Buy what fits your family and leave your ideals out of everyone else’s lives and the manufactures of products. Now, if it was a hatchet toting, blood splattered Barbie, I might have to think about that one. BUT A TATTOO, seriously, my 82 year old grandfather has tattoos!!!

I am inspired by Drag Queens

Yes - it's true. I have found that something about those fabulous ladies of drag inspire something deep down in me. There's this connection, love, admiration... this understanding of sorts. This high energy that is just driving.

I recently have been enthralled with the world of drag again. My past was peppered (more like doused) with several ladies that made major impressions on my life. That protected me... that supported me... that loved me. I am head over heels into RuPaul's Drag Race on LOGO! I wish I was there watching it all go down live! Maybe it's all that time I spent in the dressing rooms of Amnesia! THE DRAMA!!!!

Today, I found the blog of a long lost friend, Star Queen. I had such a ball seeing what was going on in her world that I felt inspired to work on my own blog.

My blog?!?!?.... Exciting and New, true, but I am sure not as intriguing as the world of a drag queen. I am a mom, a wife and a career woman, living a gratifyingly beautiful drama free life. None-the-less maybe I will find something to write about on here. We will see.

No mater what - I am taking the inspiration and running with it. In heels no less!!!
