The Winner of the Pirate’s Booty

Last week I put out a request for suggestions concerning my new logo.  To encourage more participation I said I would randomly select someone (actually my 6 year old picked at random) to win a 24 pack of Pirate’s Booty cheesy poof snacks. Well, my boy has selected Big Little Wolf of Big Little Wolf’s Daily Plate of Crazy as the winner. I wrote out a list of all the participants and he just read them all and picked out, within a few seconds, Big Little Wolf. But, not to fear for all you non-winners out there. I plan to have several more give-aways in the next several weeks. Stay tuned for that.

In the mean time, I encourage everyone to go check out Big Little Wolf”s blog. She wrote a wonderful article yesterday (Oct 7, 2009)about women’s trending inclination to undergo cosmetic surgery for the sake of their partners (Better Sex Life? Cosmetic Surgery). She ponders the merits of such a decision and recounts her own personal dilemma with surgery. She ponders the ideal female form. Getting older can be graceful or it can be prolonged with cosmetic surgery. To alter one’s shape instead of embracing natural change is a choice that only that woman can make. It is not necessarily wrong, but it is also not a decision to be made lightly for the sake of a romantic partner.
Â
My opinion on the matter, from a male perspective, is that cosmetic surgery should be used in limited instances.  It should be used for things like cleft palates, burn scars, various malformations, or otherwise to improve quality of life, and only rarely in other more frivolous circumstances. There are plenty of fish in the sea.  I have a personal preference in women and there are many women in the world.  Likewise, women have preferences in men. Some like the big muscular types and others prefer the Magnum PI sorts.  I’m convinced there is a match for everybody and it’s best not to disguise oneself as something else on the off chance that a match will be made.  I believe all people have the potential for natural beauty but that many of them screw it up because of poor diet and other poor life decisions.  Most of those problems can be fixed in the same way they were messed up. In the cases where they cannot be fixed I am not totally against cosmetic surgery as long as the underlying problem is fixed and the patient goes into the procedure with a personal awareness of what they are doing and why.

With the best money in Hollywood they often come out looking like circus freaks. I figure, outside of hair dye, it is what it is.
This little pirate would like to thank you (and your boys) for the nifty honor of the Logo win! (Were they wearing their eye patches at the time??)
And thank you for the lovely shout-out, and for your opinion above – which is a definite departure from many of the other male opinions. Now, having two mischievous lads of my own, shiver me timbers BUT… I will admit that I have a gray hair or two, both of which get a paintbrush full of appropriately subtle color every now and then… We pirates do have a rep and a public to impress (especially pirates in pumps).

I know! It doesn’t seem to matter how much money is involved because many of the celebrities who undergo these procedures are now permanently disfigured. It’s sad, but it’s a revealing look at the lives they lead that they think they have to do that to themselves.
Yeah, LittleBigWolf is amazing and she deserves the win. I know that already without knowing even what the contest was about.
I appreciate your reasonable approach to female beauty. Thanks!

thank you, wildmind, for taking time to stop by. And thanks for the comment.
You are very welcome, Big Little Wolf (I won’t mess that up again
Now, hair coloring is a completely different question. I’ve contemplated that myself with all these grey hairs starting to show. The barber even said something last time I was there! God, are we getting old? “Yes, peon, you are!” HAHAHA
