I didn’t really see it as sad, I found it more inspiring. It seemed more about the idea of working hard to acheive your dreams.

I can see where the idea is the Kiwi is trying to be a flying bird, and it’s trying to be something you can’t. However, the Kiwi uses it’s creativity to experience flight like a bird by flying down the mountain. I think it’s more about the power of being able to make your dreams come true, instead of feeling helpless.

Of course, after seeing the film again, it does seem like the Kiwi is commiting suicide, which of course is really sad. So I dunno..I guess it was a positive idea..but it’s like..it would’ve been better if he hit a trampoline at the bottom of the mountain or something.

It’s like the Tom & Jerry cartoons where they have that cute duck, in a really sad situation. It’s like, but nobody wants to see something that cute in a sad situation!

It depicted a hippo in a bath towel standing on a scale. The readout on the scale said, “TOO FAT!” I was always so confused by that painting. It’s a HIPPO. It’s SUPPOSED to look like that!

We were a classy family, as you can probably guess. Quite the connoisseurs of great art.

(which goes up to a 3xl)
and maybe just the Shapely Prose logo w/url on the back.
I will place an order as soon as they are ready.

I wish I would’ve found/worn that tee at the ‘Girls For A Change’ summit where Shaping Youth was leading a workshop on stereotypes, body image and such…1600 teens really needed to hear that message!!

Here’s another site to pay it forward: http://www.thebodypositive.org

A nonprofit that “helps people overcome body dissatisfaction and eating problems, freeing them to
live authentic, healthy and fulfilling lives.”

Shaping Youth is going to do a story on the founder soon. Stay tuned, and THANKS for this fabulous post. Got you in my Google reader now, woohoo!

“My gracious … all the comment-posters are such … well, frankly and unpolitically … girls. When told to give a happy ending, they make up some way that the unicorn can be not an unattainable ideal but a relationship, an inspiration, a reminder of the past, etc., etc. Take a look at that picture … now imagine the theme song to Rocky in your head. The unicorn is the reigning champion … but NOT FOR LONG.”
