If you look at ancient drawings or at the magnificent statues lying around ancient Rome, all of the women were drawn or sculpted as pleasantly plump women. This was sign of beauty, wealth, and health. Fifty or sixty years ago, I think that the same applied to society. All of the vintage pin-up girls were plump and they were seen as sex symbols (like Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page). Then why now has it changed so much? How could something that used to be seen as beauty, be now considered "ugly, disgusting, etc."?

I have written for newspapers and was always told I have talent but for some reason I don't have the confidence to write a book. I guess I am afraid it would be rejected. I am desperate for money and an advance from a book being published would be VERY nice right now. How hard is it?

Isn't perspective amazing? Everything in this world that appears to be concrete can be seen as something completely different to another person. Like a concrete building. No matter which side you are looking at, you are looking at the exact same building. But each time you see it (depending on where you are standing relative to it) it looks different, but we know for a fact it is the same building. Or do we? Has anybody else thought of something similar to this?

Apologies if this has been asked before. I'm an amateur actress preparing for my first male role. Specifically, the title role from "Phantom of the Opera". Are there any female actors out there with tips on dressing up as this 'villianous' man? I am not a cross-dresser; i merely want to be believable.

Thanks for your help!
