Face cream; $49.95. Knowing who you are--


PRICELESS

My yahoo email account regularly flashes these ads for wrinkle/fat/crows feet/lip line remover . They're pretty intense. A bar moves across a womans face/thighs/abdomen and replaces whatever "ugliness" aging has brought to her body with smooth, clear, vibrant, desirable, youthful skin.

I see it. I hate it. I know in the pit of my stomach that these images only make me hate my body and hate myself. I know that you can't sell stuff to contented people, that's why they have to give us a constant barrage of these images.

I know if I want to start a revolution I should stop hating my body.
Right?
