Strong women in movies are still the anomaly
Re: Strong women in movies are still the anomaly
Seriously, though.
I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
I wanna throw my body in the river and drown

Yeah, seriously!
Or maybe not...
Funny, but it sure gets the point across!

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Re: Strong women in movies are still the anomaly
Found the following on FB today, and am posting it, because on a recent trip, I lost both my credit card AND my debit card, due to the pockets in my jeans being so shallow! 
When I had the kennel, I lost $180 one day for the same reason.
Should have gone to the bank FIRST before going out to eat...

Should have gone to the bank FIRST before going out to eat... Dear Pants Maker,
First, I’m a big fan of your work. There’s a lot of polarization in the world today but almost everyone can agree that pants are pretty nice to have around. I own several pairs and wear them almost every day.
My wife is the same way, always with the pants wearing. We both just love pants. There’s just one small problem…
What’s up with pockets on women’s pants?
Women’s pants cost more and have anywhere from 30% to 100% less pocket capacity. This seems to be the case for shorts as well. Do you design shorts too, or are you just responsible for pants? I don’t know the ins and outs of the clothing industry. If need be I will compose another letter to the people who design shorts. Please advise.
Anyway, back to pockets. Exercise pants are the worst offender. They often have no pockets at all. Sometimes they’ll have something that’s called a pocket but is actually a three-inch flap of synthetic fabric just big enough to hold a credit card. That’s not a pocket, it’s the polyester manifestation of an insult to consumer intelligence.
Cargo pants are known for a prodigious amount of pockets but offer little reprieve for today’s modern, pocket seeking woman. We were at Costco the other day and saw a pair of women’s cargo pants with FAKE pockets. As someone in the biz, can you explain to me what the actual fuck? Is there a big demand for cargo pants without the ability to carry, ya know, cargo? What’s next, a fanny pack that doesn’t unzip just in case you want to look like a doofus?
The few women’s pants we’ve found with decent pockets cost around 300% more than their under-pocketed peers. So I’m guessing pockets are very expensive to make but only for women’s clothing. Do women’s pockets require special material to maintain structural integrity in such close proximity to all that evil vagina magic? That’s probably it, right?
Please don’t take all this personally. I really am a fan of your work. As I said, pants are great. But this pocket thing… it keeps me up nights. Perhaps it’s time for Congress to fund research and development of new technology that can make women’s pockets more affordable. I’m not trying to get political, just looking for solutions.
Or instead of all that maybe, just maybe, you could quit being a slave to outdated sexist design trends and give women the pockets they deserve.
Thanks.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

That was a lot of fun.“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
