My dream guy, according to Chuck Klosterman!

So, since supposedly I will never be satisfied by my partner due to the build up of expectations set forth by media and fake couples; what do I have to look forward to? Reality? Is the relationship that I wanted mine to be like nothing but a fake, a glass house that I saw no reality of what was really going on?  Was it manufactured, so I never really saw the problems at hand.  I dedicated the song, "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Bryan Adams to these people.  To me they were the idealistic couple, never fought, always went out to dinner (date night), lived in a beautiful home, had a dog, one child, had lots of friends.  Was it all a lie?  I remember thinking myself, how am I going to find a love like that?
My parents not a movie introduced me to "Fake Love" because all Chuck talks about was in my house, I learned from it!  My dad could not stand my mom!  There is no perfect person or life, it is what you make of it.  Sometimes you do fall in love with your best friend, sometimes the stereotypes are broken, and some days you laugh and some days you argue, but I know it is not based on someone else's life, or someone else's indifference because their love life sucks!  I own my happy ending by setting realistic goals, compromising, and loving the faults just as much as the good stuff.  But in my eyes REALITY isn't bad!!!  I like the life I built....

Did we have to go there???

Jean Kilbourne's documentary "Killing us Softly 4" would agree, this Alcohol ad is using the female image in an objective manner.  This ad is marketed towards men using the imagery of the female breast.  The ad reinforces;  sex is used to sell and anything can be made to appear like a breast.   It shows the sexualization of women.  She proves her theory breasts are used to sell everything, even though we are doing nothing but objectifying women and telling our kids this is the standard.  No wonder breast augmentation is the #1 cosmetic surgery performed on females each year, because that sure as hell is not an A cup!  When is the next wine advertisement going to objectify a penis?

Sexy Baby!!

The importance of Sexiness today in our culture, first I would like to define Sexiness in my terms.  It is to be desired, to feel attractive.  To not feel like I have three kids at home when I go on that date with my husband.  It is to feel like I can walk up the flight of stairs at the restaurant and not not have to unsexily whip out my inhaler and suck in 2-3 puffs of albuteral.  It is to feel composure to look desirable across that table, to look like the "girl next door" version of the Victoria Secret Model to my husband.  But in all honesty he would rather I be in Camo sitting in a tree stand or a blind trying to kill something, then I would be an 11 on a scale of 1-10.
Sex influences what we purchase, the model over the makeup aisle, the Victoria secret magazines that flood my mail box.  The desirable models on every page, you never see the everyday average Jane on page 7, who is a size 12, that isn't 5'10".  Hell I am in love with those women! My husband watches some hunting show with a very attractive female sharp shooter.  Sex sells, we as Americans want sex, it feels good, hell it looks good.  It draws the human attention, male or female.  But as technology has changed, from sex being person to person, to Internet, to now it is an AP on your phone, what is next virtual 3D sex.  The next generation won't even have human contact, what will sexy be considered then?  Because today what is put in Playboy, and what type of porn is actually watched are black and white. (Very different than reality)  It is the difference of the Pin up and the Girl Next Door.  So Sexy does come in all shapes and sizes,  Hell Yeah!!!!!
