Vogue V. SNL

Still cracking up over the SNL skits - Press Conference in China / 2012.  We're feeling like Pennsylvanians driving our cars up our hills after first rocking them out of the snow drifts.  (It's coming, Oh, Yeah.)  What began as a movement for Womens' Rights has finally levelled onto the plane of balanced forward momentum.  Women's exercises for the strength and flexibility to carry themselves with the poise, dignity and confidance those rights empower.  You can't "hide your stuff."  When you haven't got it, the handicappers see it.

A nice balance is - as I learned on my skates - a force in itself.  After weeks of getting out there and try, try, trying to stay up on them, my reward was crossing the threshhold of the "Limelight" on Piedmont and feeling my spine flex to hold me upright when a momentary mis-step almost levelled me. 

Ah! Epiphany.  The

...of Madonna Mixes for extended aerobic effort and learning the pacing and endurance required to develop my skills.  I had arrived at the first plateau of the infinite upward hill climb.  Onward, Ever!

Days later, crossing Piedmont Park enroute to the Skate Escape, a slight waver of my center of balance wreaked a sideways sway that, again, snapped me into upright and then ....  whoosh!  I was moving forward effortlessly at the next speed.  It was a "gear" dropped by angels into my backbone and I went from Ice Cream Truck Driver (If you can't find 'em; grind 'em.) to Sally Ride smoothly maneuvering a space craft.

Getting enough of us up to speed eventually - and inevitably - forces us forward via sheer know how.  Read the history of American Patents and see for yourself how many of our greatest inventions were processed through the unique working system of female inventors.  They don't call "Necessity" MOTHER without respect.  Those of us attending the birth of women into gender equity can take a long view 3 Wands

Each of us is an unique, multi-level processing system through whom the divinity within expresses our best.  Take a moment for yourself and 4 Swords redistribute the competing forces.  Celebrate Thanksgiving with those you love.   As you give thanks for all your blessings, remember your Sisters, especially the Burka-Wearing Middle Eastern ones, who are penetrating the mystique in their own special systematic way.  Page (Daughter) of Pentacles

Hagall spread  as chosen via ISIS Significant, and the Three Fates Simplified by the Magician ...  Look at that center card long enough 10 Cups, Reversed and you'll see what Castaneda teaches us to see in the UN:  the adult's heads are EYES and the bowed cup array is a sheepish grin.  They COULD have been gentlemen and shown us their class....instead they chose to slide and expected us not to notice.  What's special about women?

Daughters / Doubters

Next week when President Obama is in China he’s going to hold a “town-hall” meeting with Chinese citizens. Their first question for Obama is expected to be, “Why would anyone have two daughters?”

...   and feigning disinterest.  Boring as per Carol and CNN... as always, mean girls doing what they do.  Hootie, Tootie, (with the lib-elite accent) "13 of 400 some pages devoted to substance."  The women thing and those of us who related to Hillary recognize it:  that second "X" in the DNA having a girls' night.  Do you preserve your dignity, or do you "blend?"  WASP-reared Obama is so much more their speed.

But it's votes, friends.  The Quakers call their wives "Daughter." and embrace all aspects of the Male/Female relationship.  Cultural.  OK, they don't get Alaskans.  They probably don't hunt (except Karen Hughes & Company ridiculing John Kerry resplendent in Mossy Oak) and they certainly don't "CAMP" as do more Americans than all spectator sports combined.  

Let them.  Oprah and company focus on the "Dallas" stuff: fashion, money, jealousy-driven crime... Charlie's Angels stars blew a gasket when Farrah showed up in designer-fitting jeans while they were wearing 'wardrobe' so.... "Who's prettier:  Vanity or Aphrodite?"  Prince fans will remember the competition for "The Artist's" libido...and the radio rock jocks came clean:  "What IS this?  The guy's five feet tall and he's getting laid right and left?  And the women are lining up?

And Gayle.  Oprah, thanks for treating her like another girl,  Barbara: bring on the View.
