Yesterday I wandered through the kids section at K-Mart with my friend who was browsing for clothing for her son. I made the note an observation that each and every piece of boys clothing that I saw on the t-shirt rack was a commercial. Whether it were for television shows or for superheros or for foods, it was disturbing how young we turn our children into acceptable billboards under the guise of clothes. The girls clothing were brightly colored testaments with froo-froo and ribbony bits fluffed out with brand names. It was highly disturbing to me. My Gram told me that there is no reason for anyone to wear anyone elses name on their body. When you put someone elses name on your body, they own you. You are no longer your own person. You are a piece in their machine and you become nothing. I try to live by those words. I am all me. I dont want to be someone else, nor do I wish them to own my body or any part thereof.
