Yeah, it made a lot of sense actually when I found out...
When I was a teenager I used to model and do a lot of TV. (commercials etc) and my agents called me into the office one day to say they had to contact the police because they had been receiving (sp?) hand drawn pictures of me and information that indicated I was being watched and followed-anyway, not long after, my portfolio was stolen and I went to Uni and didnt hear anything more about it...it was my father. so I gave up modelling then as well.Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -

Sammy I dont read RW so I cant comment on the contents, I stick my head in the RW forums from time to time and find them mostly the blind leading the blind (especially the beginners section there)...
Dont you find it condescending though as a strong intelligent woman to have something 'marketed' at you because its pink and fluffly and friendly??
Men and women are different but they shouldnt be treated differently purely on the basis on gender (which is a social construct anyway - you only have to look at hermaphrodites to see how loose a biological distinction between male/female actually is)0 -

sammy, that would fit with me being creative....and they do say genius is next to insanity.
Is worrying that my mum has SAD, my older sister has depression, and one of my cousins on my dad's side is a kleptomaniac, and another has schizophrenia and lives in a mental home. Kinda worrying that I am very VERY close to schizophrenic, ure if they looked I'd fit. Looked at the borderline stuff when they diagnosed, and I was going "yep,yep,yep" to EVERY single one.
