“Back in my Wildwood days with Janet, you were either blessed with a beautiful body or not.  And if you were not, you could just chill out and learn a trade.  Now if you’re not “hot”, you are expected to work on it until you are.  It’s like when you renovate a house and you’re legally required to leave just one of the original walls standing.  If you don’t have a good body, you’d better starve the body you have down to a neutral shape, then bolt on some breast implants, replace your teeth, dye your skin orange, inject your lips, sew on some hair, and call yourself Playmate of the Year.  How do we survive this?  How do we teach our daughters and our gay sons that they are good enough the way they are?”
