Children are watching and listening! How well did we do this year? Oy. Not so good.

As we’ve been discussing open-mindedness and opening up a few cans of worms this month, I thought I’d bring another baffling issue to light. There has been a great deal of debate about a man, categorized as obese, who was recently a passenger on a plane when a flight attendant too this picture.

In the spirit of “some people just shouldn’t have a mouth” or perhaps just need a guide book on when to shut it, Christian Louboutin is now on the list.

“No one wants to see curvy women,” Karl Lagerfeld, as quoted on the website of news magazine Focus on Sunday.
