It’s
mid-July and you’ve been bombarded with images of ultra skinny
models with bronze, streak-free tans, wearing the season’s latest
fashions and looking absolutely perfect! And you feel fat and ugly.
Okay, I can’t relate to this problem, BUT I talked to Midge, Nancy and Ethel and they said Body Image is a BIG DEAL for them, especially in summer. (I tried to talk to Bets about this while we here in Hawaii, but she was too busy splashing in the ocean to pay attention.)
So, my advice to ALL my bloggy sisters out there is this – IGNORE the ads. Remember, those girls are air-brushed, surgically altered, and professionally handled. No way are they REAL WORLD!
Now get out there and have fun!

I agree! Right on Ronnie! ...Or should I say WRITE on Ronnie? Teehee! Sorry for that!
Veronica,
I was wondering are you going to anything special for Moose's birthday? Its only 2 days away!!!! If you are I hope it is already planned! Moose would be crushed if you forgot his birthday!=]
Ann, that's really cheesy. :) But as a girl, I think U R totally right, Ron. They had some news segment on that a while ago, I think.
GUESS WHAT??!?!?!? I'm getting a wave perm! Like on that Pantene commercial, where that lady has that wavy dark hair! That's like what I'm gonna look like! YAY!!!! GO PERMS!
I need help. i'm reallly fat, i never go to a physician, and when i do my parents come in with me. anyone have a killer diet program that could be a secret?
i don't feel fat looking at those models cuz i'm pretty skinny myself...actually i don't feel ugly either even if i'm not flawless i just look past the flaws. :)
Nice tips. But next time, try to pick a topic you CAN relate to.

I think you are right those models are faker than big foot
I'm going 2 burst if I don't find out who Archie is going 2 choose!Any of u girls got any suggestions 4 Archie's decision?I think it sucks that Archie will never choose!Well,I guess Dan is right,eople will stop reading Archie comics if Archie chooses.personally,I think ron and Reg will make a perfect couple!aRcHiE AND bETS will make a perfecto couple!
Great advice ron! I don't really think about it that much but i know what your talking about! All those models are so fake!! None of their beauty is natural, hardly!
Oh ya, Moose's b-dayz coming up! U really need 2 do something special. N even if u do remember 'bout Moose's b-day, will Moose[remember his b-day]? N some times beauty can b soo artificial. Itz weird.- Amal*F
Ron, you are TOTALLY right. The last thing we need in this world are girls starving themselves, and sticking their fingers down their throats, slowly killing themselves without knowing it. I'm sooo glad you posted this tip, because in the past I've struggled with bulimia, but THANKFULLY recovered.
Some magazines were showing stars b4 n after n the people were extremely ugly b4 they got plastic surgery n all that. U can't really blame them though 'cause they're making a living n no 1 would want an ugly actor/actress in their movie. Its sad that some people don't realize that beauty is only skin deep. Look at Ethel, shez every1's freind becuse shez a great human being.- Amal*F
I totally agree with Ronnie, I mean we can't all have a 16 inch waist, not have any bathingsuit tan lines, have a perfect tan, buy all the latest clothes each season, have "perfect", poufy lips, and be 5'11". It's SOOOO un real. I mean, I honestly would rather feel good about myself, than have an eating disorder. Oh, and I have a few tips for helping you feel good about yourself:
1.keep a list of your talents, cool or weird, it doesn't matter, just think up a bunch of stuff that you're good at, and keep it with you as a reminder if you feel down
2.if you have advisory yet, a fun game to play at during the year is that each person writes down their name on a piece of paper, you leave it on the table and walk around the room writing nice things about each person on their slip of paper.
3. always wear clothes that make you feel good about yourself, don't buy something just because it's the latest style, if it doesn't flatter you, don't get it.
4.wear your favorite lip gloss that makes you feel good, inside and out.(no, i am not a hypocrite, i dislike wearing makeup unless for a fancy occasion, but it is a comfort to smell my favorite lip gloss[strawberry-kiwi] just because i love the smell
5.wear a nail polish that you love to wear, if all of the dark colored nail polish that is in style nowadays makes you look goth, don't wear it. I prefer a shimmery metalic blue that matches my wardrobe
6. whatever you do, don't pick out colors that look bad on you for your wardrobe. i have brown hair with auburn and blonde highlights and orange and yellow look absolutely hideous on me. i try to steer clear of those colors whenever possible. they may look good on some people, but definately NOT me. so if you're a dirty blonde, and the latest style of shirts only comes in red, dusty brown, or bright yellow, i say pass. if it doesn't match you, then why get it?
here are some colors that look good on anyone:
Blue (any version of blue)
Pink (preferable pale or pastel)
Green (spring green or gold)
Silver (an accent or accessorie)
Black (but not too much)
White (goes with any color)
Welp, i hope whoever is reading this will find these tips helpful.
Sincerely,
Nicky
P.S. i absolutely love your comics, i collect them
REBECCA! RIGHT ON! YEH THEY'RE CELEBATING IT!
OMG! Have you seen Hilary Duff?!?!?! She's 100 pounds!!!! You're supposed to be 100 lbs when you're 10, not 21!!!!
Jayanna- im 12 and i weigh 91. that is average. not to be rude to any 10-year-olds who weigh 100, that could be that they are overweight a little (unless your tall) (the 10 year olds overweight, not the stars)
Well my friend told me by the time u r 10 u should weigh 100 pounds but my mom agrees with you.
