WTF????

There are not even words to explain how I feel about this contest. Let me post what I am talking about and then we can bitch.


OK. So I can't find the winner on this trashy newspaper website that just posts bar pictures but I have to ask the intelligent question of why would anyone participate in this? And yes I got all the obvious answers but really do ppl REALLY think this is acceptable treatment of women? You can take the Girls Gone Wild argument that if it makes women feel empowered go ahead but really taking it off for a set of free bar boobs makes me question this logic especially when violence against women in the news is at an all time high (all time by my standards but I haven't watched the news in a long time). It seems that instead of asking the important questions of appropriate treatment and portrayal of women we are blaming outside factors (violence on TV, steroids, drugs) instead of the perpetrators and the role media representation has on the treatment of women worldwide. Ugggh!

Hometown Hits

Earlier this week the girls and I went to a high school softball game in a neighboring community. It was a lot of fun! C-Dawg was drowning in delight over her walking taco and the vegetarians suffered again, as usual. The team we were cheering for got spanked but what can you do.

Chillax-ed in Iowa

Ok What have I been up to in Iowa??? Mostly a lot of drinking, dancing, and chatting engagements. Here are some pictures.

One night we were hanging out in someone's backyard drinking some beers and this HUGE beetle thing flew at C-Dawg. She knocked it on the ground and the dudes had to play with it. Like the good vegetarian that I am, I instantly suggested that we kill it but no one listened to me. They put it back in the bushes. A little while later we left to walk to this dancy bar place. Once there we were drinking and chatting. I felt something on the inside of my skirt and when I looked it was that fucking beetle. So like any normal person--I screamed, blamed it on one of the boys for not killing it earlier, and then almost died. It was pretty intense.


I forgot on father's day I went kayaking with my father. It was a lot of fun but of course I didn't take any pics. I go to Mankato on Friday to check it out--Yah!!

Picture run-down: Ladies dance party, HUGE ass beetle, random drunken dance party, and my saweet beer case recliner!

Let the presidential parade begin...

This weekend the ladies and I went to a small house party and listened to a speech by Barack Obama. It was really good. I was impressed and re-energized. He spoke a lot about his time spent as a grassroots organizer and the importance of working at the local level. I was disappointed by the fact that he didn't touch specifically on protecting Roe v. Wade but what can you do. I wanted to ask a question about how he would handle abstinence-only funding but there were alot of old people and global warming questions. After the event we stood in line to get his autograph and picture but we were snubbed. I did learn that old people are pushy and rude and that if I want to get in there I must learn how to adopt that attitude. Although we were snubbed we still jumped behind him!!!

Gay Pride!!

Last weekend C-Dawg and I went to the Des Moines Gay Pride Parade and it was awesome. The atmosphere was welcoming and accepting. Hillary had a huge float in the parade but Obama's appearance was disappointing. There were lots of cute people dressed crazy!!

A proper Montana good-bye

On the way out of Montana we stopped at a rest area outside of Bozeman and inside the stall was this wonder piece of true artistic talent. Feast your eyes and beware it is intense.
