A week or two ago I read about the Playboy bunny who thought
it would be witty to post a photo of an unsuspecting woman showering at the gym
so she could publicly ridicule the woman’s not-quite-Playboy body. And I’ve
been reading some of the vitriolic responses to her adolescent behavior. I’m not
going to add to that here. I don’t really wish her ill. In fact, I wish her a
long and eventful life; long enough for her to experience laugh lines and
stretch marks, crow's feet and cellulite, sagging breasts and varicose veins, “love handles” and a muffin
top, thick ankles and a double chin, a bit of facial hair and a well-placed
surgical scar or two. And maybe – just maybe – a little compassion.
