Weekend Update Another weekend has come and gone, and I can hardly stay awake. I spent last week eating only sahimi and chicken breast in order to lose some weight. I haven't seen dramatic results, but I did manage to get super drunk on Friday night after drinking a couple of glasses of white cask wine. I embarrassed the hostess (and pissed off the birthday girl), but Zorba managed to find a cab that was willing to take me home, after I fell in the gutter a few times. Saturday was G and C's wedding, which turned out fantastic, even though it rained. We spent a few hours cruising around the harbor, and then headed to the newlyweds' hotel for a few more drinks. Later we moved to Randi Wix nightclub in Randwick, which was like stepping into a timewarp, then headed to the Coogee Bay Hotel, and finally on to Oxford street. Since I got home at 9:30 in the morning, I slept until about 6, at which time Ms. B came over and we watched L'idole with Miss. LeeLee Sobiesky speaking very convincing French, and even doing her turn with an Australian accent. My ADSL modem finally came today, so I will be skipping the gym and hooking the thing up.  Girl Culture
Check out Lauren Greenfield's "Girl Culture". I don't think, even in the days of Britney and Paris, that there is a new problem with girls trying to grow up fast. It is, and always will be an issue for parents to address. I did my university thesis on "The Objectification of Women in Teen Publications" and found that while the media may try to objectify and sell out teens, most young women were able to see through their bullshit. Especially those who's parents instilled confidence and values. Two good sources for my thesis were Jane Pratt's book "For Real" and Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth. You may be aware that Wolf, who has always been someone I greatly admire, has been in the media lately over accusations she has made towards a college professor. Amy's Robot discusses women's magazines today and suggests that Bust has the edge of Pratt's previous magazine, Sassy. Bust started out as a small 'zine, at which time a friend of mine wrote for it, and gave me the premiere issue!
