So proud of dd. she's normally shy and "nerdy" (her opinion, not mine). and she had to do a "performance" as someone else. and she chose someone who was totally out there in terms of being sexy and dressing to show off their curves, something on a daily basis, she studiously tries to hide. She got great feedback, from teacher and other students. so great [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

btdt. I hope her take-away is that it's *all* posing, and she can choose to "be" (ie, play the role of) whomever she wants whenever she wants, not that it's somehow more desirable to be "sexy" over "nerdy", kwim? [ Reply | More

yes. I'm not not ashamed to say that I am, because she's a beautiful girl but "cursed" with womanly figure. She dresses for school with really oversize clothes, is very self-conscious of her shape. But with this choice, she just put herself out there. And the wonderful thing is that she got major positive feedback from her teacher and from fellow students. Kids told her best friend "I had no idea she was so hot!" For a 15yo with body image problems, I think this is major. fwiw she's an honor roll student. it's not like trying to be hot is a focus [ Reply | More
