But she'd be 87 now. I wonder how much of a sexpot she'd still be?

Sorry but I was listening to some of the old Selena music. Not Selena Gomez but the old school tex mex Selena.

That woman had a rocking body. Tacky as hell but that body was perfection. Big ass, C cup boobs. Big lips.

(On a side note can you people believe I'm a straight woman and talk like this?)

I, for one, love it.

I tell my female friends who are hot that they look hot.

Also, a female friend of mine and a woman I'd talked to at a party told me they were standing behind me talking about how I had a well-shaped ass. I'm 49. That works for me.

Reminds me of a couple months ago when the web was ablaze with people complaining that Kate Upton looked fat in the SI swimsuit issue. I didn't hear anything like that from a single hetero man. We like jiggly and big smiles.

Often when the models try to look seductive we ignore them and just look at their boobs or ass.

Because they're pouting or trying to look sultry, and their boobs and ass just are there. Here's an idea, ladies: just smile that million watt smile you have. You'll turn the lot of us into putty.

You ever see Upton when she walks? Everything jiggles and its hypnotizing.

I did hear hetero guys say she needs to tone her body. Me? I like the jiggly. It means girl got real tits and ass!

But how do you convince a lady she really is pretty and attractive. I have a co-worker that someone must have messed with her mind. She'll never be a runway model; but at the Xmas party she definitely turned heads. Even the day to day jeans she is not ignored for looks. And if she were single, I would not be embarrassed to be seen anywhere with her.

But she always seems surprised that guys think she's pretty.

Ahem.

The word is, "callipygian"

My personal experience is you can never convince some very pretty women of their attractiveness. My mom is in her 50's and is INCREDIBLY attractive. She looks like she is 35. My mom looks exactly like Lucy Lawless but with skin the color of Halle Berry. A real exotic beauty who never had a problem getting a man. But....

She wants a boob job (she is a full C), possible a nose job despite have the worlds most perfect chiseled nose. I used to catch her using whitening creams. Once fucked her beautiful hair over with a perm and it looked like a used mop head. She tattooed her eyebrows BLACK. I could go on and on.

They feel inferior. Nothing anyone can do. I remember once I told her she was stupid for whitening her skin when every caucasian woman was trying to look like her.

Anyways while I got my dad's ugly troll looks I'm glad I got his quick brain, and self esteem. Jesus do those women hate themselves.

I guess I'll just have to slip in compliments when I can and hope some day she gets it.

Wow PPen. That is what I will ponder as I go to sleep tonight.

Seriously, that was well written.

If you take the Rorschach ink-blot test and start responding "ass" to every splotch, it might be indicative of something worse than lack of sleep! :-)

Well, one does do get to work sitting on one's ass; no?

Well isn't it a tiny ass?

It's human nature to focus on one's flaws. Marilyn, while most men and women in the free world found her drop dead sexy and she practically oozed sex from her pores, was incredibly self-concious.

I think this is one of those no-win situtions for women. If a woman doesn't consider herself attractive, she's called insecure and is admonished for not recognizing her true beauty. But if a woman does think she is beautiful, she's called arrogant or vain. But, weirdly enough, it's women who are the perpetrators of this more often then men.

I remember reading a magazine interview with actress Megan Fox a while back. She was very frank in her analysis of her looks and admitted that she thought she was sexy. Gwen Stefani in another article once admitted that she works out for hours a day to get those enviable abs and spends hundreds on her "look". I personally applauded them for their candor but other women dog-piled on them. They were both accused of vanity and arrogance, perpetuating the cycle of women being looked at as sex objects and some went so far to proclaim that Gwen was a neglectful mother and was spending more time in the gym than with her sons. But, if they'd said something about the cellulite on their ass, or the breakouts they sometimes get, or that they felt "fat" they would would have been just as admonished for not loving themselves enough or not being confident enough to be good role models for young girls. It's a no-win situation.

I've been a victim of this myself. I know there is more to me than my looks, but I am very aware of how lucky I got in the looks dept. I also take great care of myself and try enhance my best assets (my eyes and ass). As often as I have been accused of caring too much about my looks, I just as often still find myself surprised when complimented because as aware of I am about my assets, I'm just as aware of my flaws.

Women are almost expected to have a Jesus-like humility when it comes to our looks. In fact, in this post femi-nazi culture, a mentioning a woman's looks at all is a NO-NO!
