IngievV Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Some are skinny some are not. But they are great rolemodels for girls as they show that they are proud of their body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrats Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Anyway, more positively, I've got a lift to and from the airport here, and the hotel sent me directions from Schipol to the hotel. It's the bus 370 right to the door, so that's handy. How far is the airport out of the city? Everything has fallen into place so well (apart from the unreserved seating) so I feel it was meant for me to be at this one. I don't know how far it is in km or miles but the trip with the bus takes about 23 minutes (according to the route planner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) It makes the body into an object. 4 decades of trying to get men to take women seriously undermined by the relentless trend to see everything at a superficial level - get your kit off and jiggle around. Empowering? Not in my book. Someone on the YT link has written: Find me a man who wouldn't like his girlfriend or wife to be like her in bedroom with him, seducing him like that....please!!! Well, I for one can't deliver that, so how does it make me feel? Edited May 17, 2009 by Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really good. I thought it would be well over an hour. My lovely hotel will even let me check in early so I'm hoping to have a kip and a shower before queuing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone can be sexy and seductive, you don't need to be a size zero or look like a supermodel. It's all about how you feel in your own body. But I guess we should just agree to disagree.

lollipop_monkey Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 It's just you, Diana and me who are in favour of it:mf_rosetinted: Does that say anything? Not trying to sound mean but if watching a burlesque dancer makes you feel bad or self-conscious that's something you do to yourself.Everyone can be sexy and seductive, you don't need to be a size zero or look like a supermodel. It's all about how you feel in your own body. But I guess we should just agree to disagree. I totally agree! Personally - and miss Ava Garter was about three feet from my face, so I've got an informed opinion - I quite liked watching her. I mean, she's chosen to do what she does so I don't find it demeaning. If she wanted to go be an accountant or a plumber instead, I'm sure she could. But she was good at what she did, and very nice to look at. Now, I'm happily married, and relatively certain which way I swing; but looking at her was like looking at anything else visually pleasing, like a painting or a sunset. What time is everyone planning to queue? I intend to be at the Van Gogh museum at 10 am, so hopefully I can spend a couple hours there before the queuing begins.

I don't think we (that is my husband and me) will queue, there are 376 seats and I think every single one of them will be fantasticly deluxe..... Did you all check the website of the Concertgebouw?http://www.concertgebouw.nl/ Mika is mentioned in the Newsbox... and with your concertgebouw ticket you can ride for free in the Amsterdam public transport!

miek Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Are there any concrete plans yet for a meet up/pre-dinner/drinks kind of thing? Or did I missed this? Oh BTW.

Everything has fallen into place so well (apart from the unreserved seating) so I feel it was meant for me to be at this one. It's much easier to take the train from the airport, it only takes about 15 minutes to the Central Station, and from there you can get gazillions of busses and trams to the Museum square Not trying to sound mean but if watching a burlesque dancer makes you feel bad or self-conscious that's something you do to yourself.Everyone can be sexy and seductive, you don't need to be a size zero or look like a supermodel.
