princesses of power...

it's international women's day -- just so you know...

it got me thinking about what being a woman means to me... to tell you the truth, i'm not really sure... the simple side of me says cute skirts, make-up, tits and ass and general kudos for sexiness... but i know there's more to it than that... i enjoy the sentimental bonds i make with those around me; i take pride in empowering myself and striving to be whatever i want to be without shame or judgment...

other than a few choice moments at the marketing firm i used to work at, i've never really felt that being a woman has brought me down or hurt my chances at success... although i know that by saying that, i am one of the lucky ones... women around the world suffer from horrific situations each and every day that do not value their gender and render them to be an insignificant part of society... so, as much as we should have taken today as a moment to reflect on the wonders of womanhood, it is also a convenient time for us to reflect on how the world has not changed in many ways... it's sad to think that a gender -- so rich in beauty, intelligence and a mothering nature -- still has so many obstacles to overcome...

we are woman, hear us roar into the future...
