Stev0's question about glitter reminds me of when I bought "The Sensual World" video cassette. I most excitedly brought it back to my dorm and invited what I thought were like-minded souls to watch it with me. The interview was great, and then the videos started. The Sensual World: glitter/snow. Love and Anger: glitter. This Woman's Work: does rain count? :) After the video ended, the only comment that was forthcoming from the heretics present was "Boy, she sure likes glitter, doesn't she?" Ahem. Not wanting to jump fully into the pornography debate, but...Chris, you note, as an example of Playboy's openness to a wide range of body types, that the current Playboy has a feature on women over 40. I haven't seen the issue, but I'd be willing to bet that there are very few women in there who look 40. From what I've seen PLayboy is willing to feature women of any age as long as they match the totally unrepresentative airbrushed ideal of the Playmate. That's not what I'd call openness to many body types. Cheers, Fiona
