Bruce Willis in W Magazine Shows He's Still Hot

I was listening to a news show this morning on CNN where they were talking about Bruce Willis and his new wife in a strange photo shoot on W Magazine that comes out in July. According to the "experts" in the celebrity field they were ashamed for Mr. Willis in his new role. During the show I was thinking more along the lines of, "Wow. He's over fifty and still hot."

Personally, I applaud Bruce Willis and his wife for going out there and showing that they have charisma together. I think it's great that Bruce is able to show off how buff a man over 50 can be. I also think that it's no one's place to feel ashamed for anyone else. If you don't like it, don't look at it. Also, don't assume just because you find the shoot absurd or wrong that the rest of us automatically agree with you.

I'm glad to see Bruce out there doing something and being happy. If he wants to do a totally nude shoot, I'm sure it will sell magazines because there are a lot of us out there that appreciate the body and creativity of a modern male, or female, regardless of their age.

Teenagers and Sex

I'm the mother of two teenagers. I lived through raising two others, and believe me there were times when I wasn't sure I was going to survive. Raising children is hard work. Anyone that says otherwise is either insane, has stepford children (please email me and tell me where I can buy the chip), or is very rich and is hiring someone else to do the dirty work.

Today I was a bit upset over this 14 year old girl speaking sexually in a public room, playing poker, on myspace with a young man. He was told by one of the other men in the room, "Dude, she's only 14!" His response was, "So?" The girl laughed. They kept speaking, but so we couldn't see his profile he left the table and watched instead. She then proceeded to put her real last name on the chat so that he could add her as a friend. Now we all know her name, her age, and her location - all from her profile.

I remember earlier in the week another young girl on myspace was arrested for putting nude photos on her page. Many thought that it was ridiculous that she was taken down as a sexual predator. I don't think people realize that these children are bringing predators on them. They are encouraging pedophiles, not that these people need encouragement, I know. Still, it's inappropriate and just emphasizes my stance that we have serious problems with many of today's youth.

It's a very sad world when young teen girls think it's normal for them to have sex and to blast it across the globe via the internet. We've dropped the ball somewhere. My children are far from perfect but you can ask either one of my teens what would happen if they tried something like this. The answer would be along the lines of them being murdered... it wouldn't happen. Not because my children are perfect little angels that would never consider being stupid, far from it. It's because they know that I monitor them, discipline them, and I also teach them.
