women's underwear

A local radio station's web site (www.93x.com) has a "Hot Chick of the Day." It's a decent place to kill some time sitting at work, as it's not porn, and since I work in a photo studio I can chalk it off as research, hehe.

Anyway, one of the usual questions is along the lines of "What does your future hold?" Nothing cracks me up more than the amount of girls that answer that question with a variant on, "I want to be a positive role model for young girls or change a young girl's life." Anyone selling their body acting as a role model cracks me up. Chalks up a lot of the U.S.'s societal problems right there. Even the "Do what it takes to make tons of cash, then be a good person," mentality a lot of the models try to pass off disappoints me. Not to say I disagree with doing what it takes to succeed, just that I'm not going to sugar coat any moral shortcomings of that road with all of the good I intend to do once I'm successful. You want to be a positive role model for young girls? Get a degree, be a productive and successful member of society. Don't sell your body, even if it is just to sell underwear or motorcycles. Sure, sex sells, but does it neccessarily sell good things?

Of course, I'm a hornball and a perv, as well as a hypocrit after this post. *shrug* So, I'm gonna say, I'm not dissing the modeling industry or its models. I just don't think they make good role models. Good role models would be Hilary Clinton and Mia Hamm.
