It's really annoying...and I'm going to fix it. If you're a market researcher I want you to test your assumptions against the actual facts. Let me point out that I am simply writing down what I did today. I had no idea I was going to write this essay. But at the end of the day I realized that my real self was at such variance with assumed behavior that it would make a good essay. So here it is. I'm a 40-year-old white adult male. Obviously I'm reasonably well-off and well-educated or it's unlikely I'd be posting this essay on the Internet. My day began at 6 a.m. I began it by watching Madeline, the adventures of a 6-year-old schoolgirl. Then I loaded dirty laundry into my car. The highlights of loading my laundry were seeing a teenage girl with a fat but attractive ass, and then seeing a little girl walking with a certain bored, self-obsessed alacrity to elementary school. While I enjoyed seeing the teenage girl with the fat ass, I really liked the little girl. I almost hopped in my car for a closer look at her. I also recorded the time I saw her, just for the hell of it. It never hurts to know when you can see cute little elementary school girls walking down the street. Then I went off to do my laundry at a coin laundry. The best part of this experience was seeing three little girls with their mothers, at the laundry. None of them were exceptionally cute, but they were quite enjoyable to have around. Oh yes. I've already skipped an important fact in my day, for market researchers. It involved spending some of my truly "disposable" income, i.e. buying stuff I don't actually need. (Unlike my washing of clothes at the laundry.) I bought four magazines at the grocery store, at 8 a.m. Now, knowing my age, race, and gender, what do you think this "grown man" bought? Obviously "adult time" grown-up magazines, right? Wrong! I subscribe to Mad Magazine, and one of the Special Edition Mads, called Mad XL. I wasn't sure if I was entitled to get Mad Color Classics as part of my subscriptions or not. So I went to the grocery store to see what was on sale. There was Mad Color Classics, with the great cover I'd seen for it in Mad magazine (the regular monthly magazine) the previous night. I realized I wasn't subscribed to Mad Color Classics, so I bought it. But my buying didn't stop there. No, I didn't buy Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Forbes, or even Gear (is that magazine still being published?) Not even Maxim, that God-forsaken "male" magazine that's always telling 25-year-olds how to have better sex. (As if a 25-year-old male needs any help in that area.) I bought "Kidpower." It's the premier issue. Something about the cover just made me want to have it, and it's not because there's a big picture of Britney Spears on the cover. I think Britney is a slut, and too old for me. No, I just liked the cover. I still remember a cartoon show in the 1970's, called "Kid Power". Actually I can't remember the show at all but I remember the theme song perfectly. "It's up to kid power, kid power, All the power in the world!" That's the lyrics, as best as I was able to discern them in the 1970's. So I bought the magazine. My purchase decision was aided by great information in a photo-essay about "body mist" spray, and (especially) sweet and sour lipsticks. I've always been a great fan of Lip Smackers lipstick. I can never walk by Lip Smackers without stopping to gawk at them, and wonder what cute little girls are wearing it. Yes, I was in a buying mood, and the Wall Street Journal was not on the agenda. It was time for another purchase of a "little girl's" magazine, this one entitled American Girl. The thing that turned me on about this magazine was the headline article, across the top, stating, "FREE! Baby-Animal Iron-Ons Inside!" When I found out that the magazine also contained cheerleader jumps, I decided to buy. I now know the difference between the "Double Hook" and the "Toe Touch" jumps, as well as a few other moves. But I was not done buying yet. Next I picked up Teen Vogue magazine. What cinched this deal was an article titled "Not That Innocent." It's an article showing many different celebrity girls wearing clothes out on the town. Some, called "sassy" (basically a clean-cut look) Vogue approves of. Others, called "trash" Vogue disapproves of. Here's a question for you, do you think I preferred the photos of boring girls, wearing Vogue-approved clothing? Or do you think I liked the trash? Well, just in case you're unable to figure me out, I'll tell you at the end of this article. By 1:30 p.m. I was done with my laundry, which was just in time to watch The Little Mermaid on the Disney channel. It was my first time seeing this show, and I was quite impressed. I'd been wanting to see it for awhile. It's not as fun as Madeline, but I enjoyed it. In fact, when I die, I think I want to come back as Ariel, and live under the ocean, hanging around with young mermaid girls. Later in the day, after paying some bills, I wound up at Staples, the office supply store. In addition to some boring stuff (like red pens and plastic sheet protectors), I bought these items with my disposable income: a glitter pencil, a chess set called "The Kids' Book of Chess," and a "National Geographic Pictures of the World" card game. I found the "Kids' Book" and the National Geographic cards in a section of Staples expressly created for children. I gawked at the multitudinous packs of stickers in this area, but didn't buy any. Next it was back to the grocery store, where I was entertained by the sight of three girls, about age 12, who were shopping. They weren't smashingly beautiful, but I enjoyed seeing them. I especially liked the one who was dressed sort of trashy. (There's a clue to our little contest.) Also at the grocery store I inspected a Tigger "catch" toy. Basically it's a "Beanie Baby" sized stuffed animal with a kind of baby's teething ring attached to it, except that the baby is supposed to grab at the thing instead of biting it. I also looked at Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore models of this same toy. Then it was Gerber Graduates that caught my eye. This is food for babies who are getting weaned off milk. It occurred to me that the Gerber Graduates Fruit Juice food might impress a 12-year-old girl, dressed in trashy clothing, who might decide to eat some, despite the fact that it's made for babies. Back at home, after perusing a free copy of the Wall Street Journal that I got, I opened a wrapped magazine that had arrived in the mail. It was Larry Flint's "Virgins" magazine. It is stated by this magazine that it's printed for "Legal Teen Virgin Girls," but given that it's filled with naked females, some of them sticking dildos up each other, I doubt too many 18-year-old girls are actually looking at it. However I enjoyed it very much. As I finish typing this, I am recording movies on the Sundance channel. I don't know what they will actually be about, but I'm hoping they might concern the lives of adventurous teenage girls. Which brings me to the conclusion of my essay, and the answer to my quiz question: I liked the trash. Oh yes. Before I sign off let me say that, in perusing American Girl, after I'd already bought it, I came upon a girls' personality test on pages 32 and 33. It's called "Pal Predictor," and I found it quite educational about the personalities of girls. It was excerpted from a forthcoming book, and if I see the book for sale someday, I just might buy it. Let me say for the record that there weren't actually any cute girls in any of these magazines (except Virgins). Sometimes I buy a little girl magazine because there's a smashingly cute girl in the magazine, but today I just liked the magazines themselves, for their appearance and content, not because I fell in love with any of the cute little girls in them. In fact, strictly speaking, there weren't any cute little girls in any of these magazines. There were plenty of fine, normal girls, but none that I swooned over. Such is a day in the life of a 40-year-old white, well educated, reasonably well off adult male. Maybe now, if you're a marketing executive, you should revise a few of your assumptions. 30 --------------------------- Dreamgirls! ------------------------ LEGAL photo books and web sites under biased U.S. law: -- More stories at: http://groups.google.com/ Search by typing: roller666@earthlink.net Click on "Power Search" Change "standard" archive to "complete" archive. -- Other providers: IFLC: http://assm.asstr-mirror.org and http://asstr-mirror.org Anya's Lil' Hideaway: http://www.insatiable.net/ Silver: http://www.mr-yellow.com/goodies The Backdrop Club: http://www.backdrop.com Usenet Newsgroup: alt.sex.stories.moderated -- Great art books by David Hamilton and Jock Sturges are at: http://www.amazon.com http://bn.com (photos of naked little girls) -- Naked little girls/politics: http://www.AlessandraSmile.com Man/boy love: http://www.nambla.de Politics: http://www.lp.org -- Naughty Naked Dreamgirls (Library of Congress ISSN: 1070-1427) is copyright 2001 by Andrew Roller.
