It's like some kind of Irony Fractal.
I am so amazed at the fact that the Bratz dolls for little girls look like whores. There is no other word. If you saw a woman dressed like these dolls, your immediate conclusion would be that she is a whore. So I went to the Bratz website to find you all a photo of what these dolls look like, so you could see that I am not overreacting. And what do I learn but that I can't find those dolls on the site, the only dolls I can find are much tamer and really fine (the gateway dolls to warm them up to the whore dolls!). They don't sell the tame Bratz dolls at the KMart or Toys R Uses where I have shopped.
Anyway, I decided to search elsewhere on the internet for an image for you, my faithful readers. And where do I find one? On the site of an erotic fiction writer who is also complaining that the Bratz dolls look like whores.
The mind reels.

Prayers needed for a private intention.
Prayers directed to St. Francis de Sales would be most appropriate.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Girl V confirms Girl status -
With little knowledge of the outside world, and not a lot of modeling of femininity from me, Girl V now likes princesses, purses, and jewelry. I gave her an old purse of mine and she loves it so much that she sleeps with it in her bed.
Sometimes she tells us, too, that she had a "pretty nap." I am not sure what that means.

Week of February 14, 2007 by Robert Novak - HUMAN EVENTS: "After labor unions invested heavily in helping them take control of Congress, House Democrats are marking up a bill this week designed to help labor unions reinvigorate themselves. The so-called Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) would mandate the 'card-check' procedure for unionizing employees at a given workplace, making workers go on the record for or against a union, instead of giving them a secret-ballot election."
Takes the cake: "DEAR ABBY: Please help me. My lover and I have been disagreeing lately and are considering couples counseling. However, he keeps insisting that we see the marriage counselor he and his wife are currently seeing.
I want to make this relationship work, but I think it's inappropriate to receive counseling from the same one that they are currently seeing. What do you think? -- NEEDS THERAPY IN TEXAS"

X treme Verbosity
Girl V is displaying great verbal facility. Today she brought me a book, and a duck, and said "Read this together with the duck." Later, she asked, "What is (name) doing now?"
Today we looked at Mommy and Daddy's wedding photo album and talked about how Mommy and Daddy got married and that is why they wear rings. She liked the pictures of everyone dancing at the reception.

V News, 2yrs 1/2 month
She weighs 28.5 lbs and is just under 3ft tall. 90th percentile height and 70th percentile weight.
She is starting to do some thinking. This is really hard to describe but easy to observe. She knows a lot of words now and she is staring to put them together in ways she has not heard before. For example "baby cup" to refer to a shot glass (we call glasses cups around here cuz we is po' folk.)
We are desperate to teach her how to sit still. Never has on her own. Always moves, unless the TV is on (which is no help). Maybe if we give her a sticker if she sits still for 30 seconds. I will try that. ANY IDEAS?
She is getting beautifuller every day as her curly blonde hair gets longer. I taught her the word "curly" today. She also said "zebra" for the first time, she has known it but never said it.
