My husband is planning to climb one in CO this summer to celebrate a friend's 50th.<br /><br />But back to Demi & Heather. I don't know what's a cause and what's an effect. But there seems to be a relationship between trying to fit some artificial ideal and losing part of yourself.Marjie Killeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720944021171910758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426686110229877216.post-43784519336228187562012-01-27T15:47:30.077-06:002012-01-27T15:47:30.077-06:00I guess all these years of not eating is getting t...I guess all these years of not eating is getting to those poor gals. Be careful what you wish for, right? Love your comments on mid-western women, that is how we roll. Even here in Colorado, it may not be about the fake bosoms and hair extensions, but how far you can hike/bike, or how many 14ers have you climbed. I'm am officially too old to worry about such nonsense (I'll be 50 next month) I'm happy how I am and who I am.

And, as a child of divorced parents and a couple of blended family experiences, I've often wondered how Ashton fit into a household of Demi's then teenage girls. I think my freshman daughter would term the arrangement awkward at best. (Actually, I think she'd say "awko-taco") I could write a whole other post about Ashton Kutcher. I'm kinda pro-cougar (age isn't everything) but that guy seems like a complete idiot.<br /><br />Ryan Gosling on the other hand....Marjie Killeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720944021171910758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426686110229877216.post-2121870179773191062012-01-27T15:17:08.955-06:002012-01-27T15:17:08.955-06:00Hmmmm.....these women need to embrace their lives-...Hmmmm.....these women need to embrace their lives-every stage. Youth is great, but fleeting. Middle age should be a time of enjoying yourself and not worrying so much about how you look. I have watched Demi anti age, trying to fight a losing battle. Marrying the young, hot Ashton was a recipe for disaster. I feel sorry for her daughters who have been taught a sad lesson about their importance as women. No tears shed for Demi or Heather. They were blessed with natural beauty, and lucky to have found such lucrative careers.Christycchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118298194277423814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426686110229877216.post-16407597524614852702012-01-27T14:16:18.420-06:002012-01-27T14:16:18.420-06:00Anne-Marie,

...Anne-Marie,<br /><br />I'm so glad you feel this way! <br /><br />By comparison, what do you think the status symbols of the midwest are? A Luxury SUV? Tickets to the Blackhawks?

And that's after living in SoCal, where indeed, the firmness of your butt, the slimness of your waist, the size of your boobs and the perceived size of your bank account (demonstrated via the size of your car, ring, tan...)are really what makes someone worthy in that neck of the woods. It's not real and it's stressful. I'm so not playing that game anymore. <br /><br />I LOVE the Midwest.Anne-Mariehttp://www.thesucculentwife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426686110229877216.post-18281021363920716802012-01-27T13:39:20.554-06:002012-01-27T13:39:20.554-06:00Jacquie - I know, they'd feel so good about th...Jacquie - I know, they'd feel so good about themselves here! And they could relax, eat a burger. I'm all for looking your best, but the upkeep required of women in the entertainment industry sounds exhausting. And rather absurd! I personally know men and women who went out to LA only to feel completely chewed up out there. Tough, tough biz.<br /><br />MMarjie Killeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720944021171910758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426686110229877216.post-47281473389089089472012-01-27T13:15:58.127-06:002012-01-27T13:15:58.127-06:00Good point Marjie...but also, if they moved to the...Good point Marjie...but also, if they moved to the Midwest, they would be stand-out, super power beauties. It would do much for their self-confidence which has taken a big<br />hit. (obviously) Perhaps enough that they would soon move back to LA and start right where they left off.
