Does Duff speak for you?

No, not Homer Simpson's favorite brew but this quote from Hilary Duff:

"Because I don't take my clothes off and show everything I have doesn't mean that I'm not a grown-up...Certain artists my age who are going through this phase of not wanting a younger audience or not wanting people their age to like them or trying to get a more male-oriented audience will take their clothes off, but I also think that if they feel comfortable doing stuff like that, then more power to them."

Does taking your clothes off really serve as the only way to make yourself more adult? Do you feel that the only way women and girls can be taken seriously is if they have little covering their bodies? Is this a media issue? Or do the young women in your schools believe like Hilary Duff? Is Hilary's whatever you think attitude good or bad? Where do you stand? Do you think ladies should dress up or is less clothing really a sign of maturity?

Hello Brave New World

I'm glad you found my blog. I was hoping that we could use this place to discuss things that concern you, things you are excited about and everything inbetween. To do that I was hoping that you could help me by suggesting some topics for us to talk about. This blog is open to comments and suggestions so don't be shy!

Since we don't have any of your thoughts yet I was wondering about something that we talked a few Sundays ago in SS.

The SciFi show Ghost Hunters where real life plumbers put down their monkey wrenches and search for proof of ghosts at night and on the weekend. After our discussion on ghosts I saw an ad for the show Medium which gives us a crime fighter who listens to the dead for advise on who did it. This all got me thinking about how we look at death and what we think about it. What are your views? Do you think either of these shows have it right? Is there another truth to life after death that TV hasn't covered?
