Re: Great Idea for all LP's

[Guest guest]

I think that is a GREAT idea! Infact, about a year or two ago, I was thinking

of calendars like of Top bachelors and bachelorettes(sp?) of the LPA..Ofcourse

no children, 18 and over.

It's superficial maybe some think it's shallow, yeah, but it's fun!

Why can't we be like everyone else on this earth? I'm sure there are girls and

guys(LP's) who " worship " certain other male and female LP's, and now they can

have them in a calendar!

I was going to sit this one out, but to be honest, it scares the life out of

me!

We get enough ridicule in life, without asking for it. Just imagine the

publicity such a calendar would get. I don't think I'm alone in becoming

heartily sick of bad publicity. I just want to lead a normal/average life,

be able to go about my business with the same lack of notoriety as everyone

else.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm getting tired; tired of the multitude of

occasions when we are once more, thrust into the limelight, and usually,

for yet another mockable reason.

> Why can't we be like everyone else on this earth?

I TOTALLY agree with you! But for the reasons given above, we would NOT be

like everyone else. It is a plain and simply undeniable fact that we ARE

different. It is an equally undeniable fact that Jo public seizes on this

fact to make maximum jocularity at every conceivable opportunity.

Yes, in the ideal world, we SHOULD be able to do everything exactly the same

as everyone else. And that, in the ideal world, would include the

publishing of a calendar similar to ones which are gaining popularity at

great speed.

But we can't! We have come a long way in our endeavours to demand respect

and equality in society, but we still have a hell of a long way to go.

Stunts like producing this calendar, would, in my mind, just re-inforce the

publics opinion that we were only ever put on this earth for the sole

purpose of giving the masses their fix of humour.

I'm sorry, as much as I would love to see this produced, it ranks high on

the list of things we, as dwarfs, would LOVE to do, but can't.

Everyone has restrictions in life. Nobody, average or dwarf, can do all

they would wish to do. We just seem to have a longer, or different list to

Jo Public.

Dearest Fred,

I can't speak for anyone else on this list about the idea of the calendars. But

from my perspective and my idea, I wouldn't want to sell it to the " public at

large " . For me, I would only sell it to the LP community. And thats it.

Heck no, I would think it would be a farce to sell these calendars next to the

likes of Pamela , The Backstreet Boys and Aguilera. We WOULD

be laughed of the shelves.

Any calendar that will exploit a LP's physical body is absolutely offensive.

Here we are a group of individuals that don't fall into society's

stereotypical beauty. Now we are going to select who the better looking

Dwarfs are?

This is so vain and exploitive. If anything why don't we do a calendar or a

book that focuses on the lives of successful (interesting jobs, lives or

stories) of our members

that just so happen to be dwarfs.

It seems to be better than producing something that may satisfy some fetish.

[Guest guest]

i think that it is a great idea. I would also sell them the the general

public. You could always add a little info in the calendar about dwarfs.

This would be a good way to educate people.

Great idea. How about one featuring well known LP's that both the general

public would recognize with fond memories and one that children with

dwarfism could view high profile role models as well?

Okay, since the subject was brought up....This sounds like a fabulous idea in

theory...but in theory only...To benefit LPA the $$ raising idea is a good

one...but really I think it opens a whole can of worms for the reason that

our general man-on-the-street would find a way to lesson the beauty of this

artistic peice you want to put together...I would not recommend it for

beautiful women either for the same reasons...

Just another 2 pennies,

What if it was composed of group shots of the

different regional chapters? Yes you would have to

have more than one picture to a month, but then more

people could be in it. Then there would be less of a

chance of hurt feelings of " not making it " or

accusations of favoritism.

Just a whimsical thought.
