take this survey:
i'm a girl, and by me that's only great!
i am proud that my silhouette is curvy,
that i walk with a sweet and girlish gait
with my hips kind of swivelly and swervy.
i adore being dressed in something frilly
when my date comes to get me at my place.
out i go with my joe or john or billy,
like a filly who is ready for the race!
when i have a brand new hairdo
with my eyelashes all in curl,
i float as the clouds on air do,
i enjoy being a girl!
when men say i'm cute and funny
and my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl,
i just lap it up like honey
i enjoy being a girl!
i flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
i drool over dresses made of lace,
i talk on the telephone for hours
with a pound and a half of cream upon my face!
when men say i'm sweet as candy
as around in a dance we whirl,
it goes to my head like brandy,
i enjoy being a girl!
when someone with eyes that smoulder
says he loves ev'ry silken curl
That falls on my iv'ry shoulder,
i enjoy being a girl!
when i hear the compliment'ry whistle
that greets my bikini by the sea,
i turn and i glower and i bristle,
but i'm happy to know the whistle's meant for me!
i'm strictly a female female
and my future i hope will be
in the home of a brave and free male
who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... like... me.

"b. agree somewhat"
over time the girly girl part of me has become much more pronounced. i don't bother hiding the almost curvy silhouette anymore, and i demonstrate surprising virtuosity with the eyelash curler.
remove the face cream, change the lace to silk and the frills to jewels and there you have me in all my girly glory.
still the sexiest thing i've ever put on would have to be the slick flight suit for the medical transport team i'm on. it's ugly but it's hot.
oh and i have certainly not dated that many boys.

b. I agree somewhat
I agree about being at ease and embracing one's femininity. However, I do not agree with obsessing over constant affirmation of what would seem to be physical approval. The Party in the song appears to be at ease with who she is and enjoys the occasional affirmation of her physicallity...Who doesn't? But if that turns into a need, then that becomes just sad.

yup. i was just thinking that maybe i should have said something about how the part of me that wants to answer "BLEAH!" is the part of me that believes
1. there is more to enjoy about being a girl than the physical appearances and the material. 2. one should not require external validation (i.e. from men) all the time to be happy about it. 3. we really ought to focus on that our identity is in Christ, where there is neither jew nor greek, male nor female.... 4. i would NEVER gush on and on about it in the shallow, insipid way this chick did. or rather, this dude writing for a chick character. (... THAT is an interesting point of its own.)
