annanotbob's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspired by a beard I watched a TV porgramme last night called Am I Normal?, in which everyone was bonkers apart from a fabulous woman with a beard. By bonkers I mean having a very narrow, rigid view of normality and being prepared to have surgery to attain it. Then along comes lovely bearded lady, about my age, whose facial hair started appearing in the 1970s, when we were all into acceptance of our natural selves. So she let it stay and says it has been wonderfully liberating and enabling. She radiated peaceful good vibes and was most inspirational. I'm in the business of giving myself a break, so I'm starting with not wearing a bra. I've always hated bras - stopped wearing them in 1973 and never owned one again until my first day of teaching practice. Boys look at breasts - we know that, but if you stand in front of them braless, they think you're kind of colluding and don't bother to hide their stares. So I bought one on my way home that day and have worn one ever since. Nasty things. Now my lovely breasts hang free, not quite down to my waist yet, but give them time. I can breathe freely and easily. Happy days xxx 12:25 p.m. - 22/04/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
