Friday, February 11, 2005Internals vs. ExternalsWe've been batting around a bunch of ideas for marketing Aphrodite in Jeans. One idea that we came up with was a butt contest. People submit their pix and we have a contest. For some reason, that didn't sit right with me. I woke up one day and realized why...AIJ is about waking up one day knowing you've got da Power, feeling the blood coursing through your veins, learning to strut your stuff (if you never knew) or remembering how (if you've forgotten.) It is all in the head. It may or may not - and the key here is that, seriously, it may NOT - exist in reality. Personally, I am almost dysfunctional when it comes to the external stuff. I just simply am not interested in any of the stuff that people put on or take off to look like they've got All That as they move through life. (I did have a dream about myself in a pretty hot little thong, though, last night... I have to confess. It looked good. And now I'm cursing the fact that I am running too late to go to the gym this morning!) My battle cry is to women to tell them that if they think they have to have the externals, or if they're waiting to have the externals, or if they dismiss themselves and keep themselves under a rock because they do NOT have the externals -- they are WRONG. They are wrong and that has to change. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE EXTERNALS. It's about what's going on upstairs and in the heart. The book is about having a walk and talk and thought that knows you're hot and you can do it. It totally doesn't mean you LOOK like Jennifer Garner. You just FEEL like Jennifer Garner. So bringing it out into externals is antithetical to what I'm talking about. So that's my problem with the butt contest. It goes against one of my rallying cries. YES having a good butt is GREAT. YES we all want one - even me the warrior princess with the battle cry - I'd LOVE a great 501 ass. And I actually work hard to try to achieve one. BUT (and notice here how close a Butt is to an excuse...!?) it's not the point. And people who are waiting to live until their butt is better are missing out completely. # posted by Katherine Doughtie Nolan @ 7:33 AM
