How to Walk Like a Model

Americans have many clever sayings: Put your shoulder to the wheel; Carry an albatross around your neck; Eat your heart out. It must sound very strange to non-native speakers. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over three million households are linguistically isolated in America.

My career never suffered from my not being skinny. I never did catwalk work because I was always too big. I couldn’t get the clothes over my hips.
Quotation from Heidi Klum

I’m no model lady. A model’s just an imitation of the real thing.
Quotation from Mae West

What Ever Happened to the Pretty Girl?

What Ever Happened to the Pretty Girl?

Being the “pretty girl” isn’t about beauty. The pretty girl makes things happen. It’s a combination of confidence, will and expectation.

So if you wanna go, walk right out that door
Cos I don’t want no more of your pretty girl bullshit
If you wanna leave, it’s okay with me, matter of fact
I’m begging please take your pretty girl bullshit.
Lyrics from Mario Winans and Foxy Brown, Pretty Girl Bullshit

Males are Biologically Driven to Hunt Giraffes

If you like someone despite (or perhaps because of) their faults, it’s said you like them “warts and all.” Well… some people hate warts. They prefer the illusion of perfection. Women especially measure their self esteem by how they think they look. Learning to hunt giraffes, the beautiful animal in all of us, is essential to health and self confidence.

At War with Our Bodies (SureWoman.com article by Alicia Howard)

Tomorrow I will discover Sunset Boulevard… hands read, feet manicured, elbows massaged, faces lifted, warts removed, fat reduced, insteps raised, corsets fitted, busts vibrated, corns removed, hair dyed, glasses fitted, soda jerked, hangovers cured, headaches driven away, flatulence dissipated, limousines rented, the future made clear, the war made comprehensible, octane made higher and butane lower, drive in and get indigestion, flush the kidneys, get a cheap car-wash, stay-awake pills and go-to-sleep pills, Chinese herbs are very good for you and without a Coca-Cola life is unthinkable.
Quotation from Henry Miller, Soirée in Hollywood

If you value my advice, do what you want.

If you value my advice, do what you want.

Today’s comic was suggested and written by Golfwidow. Everyone
needs validation. When we ask a friend for advice, we want an honest opinion.
We also want encouragement that we’re on the right path.

Golfwidow is an accomplished author. You can purchase her book here:
==> Getting My Think On by Sondra Harris. (P.S. This is not a paid ad)

Note to Nurse Myra: Yes, the header photography is (almost) always my work.
The lone exception was a red convertible “stock” photo used in one of my early comics.

Lastly, I did another “Guest Strip” over at Wireheads this week, starring Chase. Go see. Go see.
