girl?

a "harmless" facebook note.


[] You own over 10 bottles of nail polish

[] You own a designer purse

[] You own perfume that cost over $60

[] You had/have fake nails

[] You have more body lotions/hair products than you use

[] Your pet is a chihuahua/Pomeranian/Yorkshire Terrier/Siamese/Shih Tzu/dachshund

[] You have clothes/shoes/accessories for your pet

[] You have enough clothes to cover an entire refugee camp.

[] You have enough pictures to create your own wallpaper.


Your pet is a small dog? Really?

So in order to be a real girl you must be very materialistic. The only one of these that fits me is having more hair products than I use. And right now that is because I have some back up shampoo in my room.

Is THIS what our culture finds feminine? Obviously, this note has no idea what being a girl is. Harmless, of course, but what about when we start believing it's all harmless, darlin?
