Such a Shame

We have attached the word shaming to just about everything. Thin Shaming, Fat Shaming, Slut Shaming, Short Shaming, Tall Shaming, Smart Shaming, Dumb Shaming and Bitch Shaming. Wait, is that a thing? 

Let’s talk about Slut Shaming for a bit. The hot topic of the Halloween season was slutty costumes. I know I am a few days late and that may explain my low blog following but, I’m discussing it now. So humor me a bit, all two of you.  

So where were we? Slut Shaming! When I was younger and a little more… uh, slender, I used to like dressing up and showing a little skin. Nothing too sexy but enough to turn a couple of heads. That was my comfort level. I have no problem with women going out and being that “sexy” professor or “sexy” dog catcher (ironic…) anyway, to each their own. So have at it, you sexy swashbuckler, you!


What I have a problem with is the ability to call it like it is. It is one thing to dress like Jessica Rabbit and another to wear almost nothing at all. At least try! Put some creativity into it. There are several ways to have a sexy costume without the rest of us having to see your “shits and giggles”. I just made that up, kind of. Well I changed the meaning a bit…  Anyway, if I think you look like a whore, I should be able to comment on that fact. It isn't slut shaming, it is simply an observation. Wear some panties for Christ’s sake! 

Halloween has come and gone so we can move on to another form of "shaming". 
So what is next folks? Turkey Shaming?

It could happen at the grocery store. “Oh, I see you are going with the non-organic turkey this year.” Or at the family dinner, “This turkey was a little on the parched side, are you sure you took it out on time?” For the record, this is not shaming it’s just plain rude.








But just in case, you may want to check out a new turkey roaster...


Can we stop using the term shaming and find other expressions that are more appropriate?

Because I can

How often do we hear that today? "Because I can."  It explains the attitudes of people today. This post kind of ties into the one I did last week. Being mean on the Internet.  This attitude has dug deep in today's society. We are empowered to do whatever we want, only God can judge us, YOLO... You may be asking yourself, "well, what is wrong with that outlook?" I'm not sure there is anything "wrong" but there should be a limit to this way of thinking. We all need to remember what we do does in fact effect those around us. It doesn't matter if we even know them. I'm not talking about being offended. I have a whole other post coming out about being offended.  Let's take the term YOLO for a minute. You Only Live Once. No, you live everyday. You die once. So those crazy things you do because you can, you will have to live with the consequences later. It's not like trying something new like water skiing. People are doing horrible o

Capricorn ~ The Goat December 22 - January 20 This zodiac sign is a sign of stability, calmness, and maturity. Individuals born under this sign are typically not risk takers. They are kind and considerate but will flip out on you in a flash. The tarot for Capricorn is The Devil. Symbol of control and addiction. Okay.... Capricorn Women are traditional in most aspects of their life. Stubborn and rarely can be lead in a different direction. Sexually they are, well lets just say after she sheds that business suit and sensible undies... watch out! It's on like Donkey Kong! Capricorn Men are typically conservative and follow the rules. They tend to be "loners" or have few in their circles. Some have the appearance of being cold and emotionally aloof, but it is more of a defense tactic. They take love seriously and are not usually players or cheaters. In the bedroom they are surprisingly "effective". They "bring it" so to speak. Go Capricorns

B ~ Beetlejuice

Before Winona Ryder hit the Stranger Things scene and Alec Baldwin finding his muse in Donald Trump, they were rocking Harry Belafonte in Tim Burton's, Beetlejuice. Oh, Gena Davis was there too. Beetlejuice was released in 1988 and became an instant hit - launching its own animated series. And, there are rumors of a remake or sequel sometime in the future. Make it happen, Hollywood! If you didn't have a fascination with death, you did after watching this movie. Okay, I did/do. I even have my own copy of the handbook so I'm prepared. Yet, I am still hesitant in saying Beetlejuice 3xs. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... nah. You first. Are you a fan? Tell me your favorite scene/s in the comments below. See you tomorrow for "C"
