i get lost in your eyes by debbie gibson
i decided to do a second post cause i was just reminded of something. on my way to work yesterday, i passed a debbie gibson song on kyxy.
and i thought.... "hm, i remember the days when the women in music that we looked up to were girls like debbie gibson, and tiffany and paula abdul." see, that's the thing. that's not who the girls, and i say girls cause they are in fact, almost all little girls and not in fact women, that are in music today are not the debbie gibson type. yes, debbie gibson was even too straight-laced and wholesome for her own good then, but look how different that was... and it was only 10 years ago. how is that? it boggles my mind. am i really that old?
yes, i'm quite the liberal woman and i truly love that because that is who i was raised to be. it tickles me when my own husband and i are watching TV and a guy on TV goes "well, i'm the husband so i'm going to decide" and andy looks at me and says aloud 'hm, now if that were MY wife, i would hear 'oh, i don't THINK so.'" and it's true. and andy has accepted that about me, too (most of the time at least LOL).
my point being is that the girls that are to be idolized today are not the kind of women you want to be. WHEN DID IT BECOME OKAY TO BE AN AIRHEAD WHO DRESSES LIKE A HARLOT???
me and crissy have talked about this and i know i have this really high expectation of the girls that i know to want more in life than the role that women are given. and it's most likely unrealistic to want that of everyone, but for some reason, that's who i am... and that doesn't necessarily mean that's who i think you should be.
there is more to life than having a hot body, giggling, and tossing your hair to get boys' attention. life is too short to be that superficial.
be somebody. go DO something. be a person whom your children will admire.
.....i say this as i step off my soapbox.
