Alice...Was this you?

 Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan
woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said:
 THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE??

A woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.

To Whom It May Concern:

Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia . Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.

Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them not to mention how could they have sex? Just look at them.....where is IT ? Therefore, they don't have kids either.. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?

The choice is perfectly clear to me. I want to be a whale.
 

P. S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a piece of chocolate with my friends. With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy.

Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, "Good grief, look how smart I am."

LOL!!!!!

LOL i even read it out loud to DH 

and i TOTALLY agree...whale for me baby!!!!!!

 That sure does sound like our Alice, doesn't it!?

Yes, I am convinced that was Alice. Who else could it have been??

I love it, btw!

 Twas not me ..but I would definitely like to meet this lady and shake her by the hand

I wore my magic knickers today for lunch with DH's colleagues (well obviously I wore clothes over them..lol!!  ) and everyone commented on how thin I was only six weeks after giving birth and I just smiled knowingly and thought "If only they knew I had ten tons of belly and bum cunningly held in by a lycra-polyester mix" 

 That's AWESOME!
