i've a bone to pick...

on oscar night i dared to try and watch a little...with my kids.  so when the"you showed your  b o o bs song came on...well i learned my lesson. and quickly abandoned the oscars.    awards season is about the pretty dresses for me. and i can see them easily enough the next day.
so today i happened upon an article where the children's book author and one time b o o b baring actress jaime lee curtis was whining about the offensive song...in which she was mentioned.  and it sooooo bugged me.  yes the song was offensive.  but HELLO so is b o o b baring.  and guess what jaime lee curtis...you showed your b o o bs!   in the article she laments the "fact" that she was only doing what she was asked (by men she so critically points out)  and that those films in which her decolletage was featured enhanced her career.  so there seth mcfarlane...you are gross and jaime lee is an artist.  NOT SO I SAY!!!
dearest hollywood actresses....how 'bout you stand up for yourselves and SAY NO!!  NO! i will not show my b o o bs.  NO! i will not have multiple intimate scenes where my body is subjected to the known world and all we see of a man is hairy armpits and toned biceps.(i am not suggesting we see more of a man's body thanks, i am merely pointing out that we honor men for much different assets.)   NO! i will not let all the hard work we have done for the advancement of women's rights be reduced to the right to show my b o obs!! NO! i will not bare all at the suggestion of a man who clearly has found a fascinating loop hole in the never ending male quest to see some b o o bs. make him earn it...duh!  it just kills me how these women we glorify are being awarded for blatant disregard of so many men and women's efforts to honor a woman for more than her body and looks.     so dear actresses in pretty dresses, show us your BRAINS!!  show us you HEARTS!! show us your pretty dresses for crying out loud...and for heavens sake show us your GUTS!!  ladies of the academy... how 'bout you, JUST SAY NO!!!
