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.

Anyone that treats anyone poorly simply on their looks needs to take a long hard look at themselves in a mirror.  So why are we attacking slender women? Threat? Sure it is. I haven't been a plus size woman my whole life. I didn't go through high school chubby. I was thin, super thin in fact that I couldn't find clothes that didn't make me lo...

Everyone is born with a number. Mine happens to be 9 but that is an other story for a different day. Today is all about the feline. Whether you are a cat  person or a dog person, maybe a little bit of both, you can agree that there are challenges in owning and LOVING a pet. My friend sent me this link yesterday. Geez, I thought my lil demon kitties were bad. Well, they kinda are but I did rescue them from the wild. ;) http://www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/79/The-27-Naughtiest-Cats-In-The-World-And-I-Can-t-Stop-Laughing
