(offer him some gravlaks too?) Yes, I rue the day Rue21 came onto the fashion scene...bleh. Maybe we should have a 'hall of shame' that targets new product dev that sets kids' development/psyches back...gotta curb the unhealthy cues with a visual gallery as no one has time to read anymore it seems...Hmn.

Not that's there's anything wrong with that. I'm sorry that you missed the entire point of the post. But that, I'm afraid, would involve doing a bit of reading. Get back to me after you do that.

Unfortunately, there's lots to write about here. And you're right -- boys are just as affected by these characterizations. They need the media/image awareness education, too. Thanks M & K.
