will I be pretty?
I saw this weeks ago and I can still hear it in my head. I like the idea of pretty being an adverb not an adjective. (she does use the f-word at one point so don't listen at work or in front of the kiddos!)
Wow. This was like a slap in the face. I sincerely hope that somewhere down the road in my life, I won't still be wandering to 45 stores in 6 malls to find the perfect cocktail dress because I can't find fulfillment anywhere else. One day I'll be able to use the word "pretty" to define character traits instead of physical assets, right? Hell, maybe one day I'll even go to the grocery in gym clothes! (Slow down, I may be getting ahead of myself now!) Thanks for sharing this, Dawn!
the first time I saw this, I almost cried, because she is so ferocious and right and I wish more people talked like her.
