PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

PRINCE

  • Tobi is a HUGE Prince fan
    • Vinnie also really likes Prince
  • His movies and acting are pretty bad, however
    • They were still fun and campy
  • His music is inspiring, and Tobi really felt that
    • Defied a lot of what she was taught, and she appreciated that
  • Both Vinnie and Tobi were raised in very religious households
    • Tobi Baptist, and Vinnie went to a Catholic school for many years 
      • Tobi has kept her religion, Vinnie has not 

CHILD DIETING

  • When Tobi was THREE YEARS OLD, she began to diet
    • She remembers her mom telling her she was too big even at age three
    • This was, unfortunately, a sad moment for her
  • Tobi was a bigger kid (also, the tallest)
  • Ayds candy was a "diet candy"
    • It was straight sugar but could "make you lose weight"
  • Major ingredient was benzocaine 
    • Benzocaine is a topical pain reliever, anesthetic 
  • The issue is parents can very easily distill body images in their children
    • Especially now with media
    • Also, parents feeding their children crap certainly does not help
