Apple Anyone?

My outfit today is inspired by the queen in Snow White and I rather love it. Apple, anyone? I always related to the queen more than Snow White anyway. Was she misguided in her vanity and anger? Absolutely, but maybe she was misunderstood too. How does the world perceive you? Are you generally liked? Are you hated like the wicked queen in a fairytale. Or do people just avoid you because of your Resting B!#%h Face Syndrome? You may have an idea of what others think. You may have no idea at all. The question is, how far should you go to find out?

I just saw an ad today for this little gizmo that goes on your wrist and tracks your tone throughout the day. It tells you how you may be perceived by others and you can alter your tone and behavior to be more acceptable. Wow, did someone watch the Stepford Wives one too many times before heading to the office to pitch their latest tech idea? Is it just me or is this the worst idea ever!!

Let me put my tinfoil hat on for a second and just say, Doesn't this sound like social programming to you? Let's all be the same carbon copy mindless drones with our little wrist gadgets to keep us in line. NO THANKS! I happen to like all the different personalities that are out there and I've found that it's up to me to get to know people far more than it is up to them to alter themselves to get me to like them.

I like the wicked queens in my life as much as the lovely Snow Whites and the bumbling fairies, and chattering woodland friends and all the rest. We all have our role to play, our different points of view, and our flavor to add to life. And, I for one, wouldn't have it any other way. So, please, oh please, if you've seen this little gadget out there, don't buy it. Don't worry so much about what others think. Be the best You that you can be, but always be the real you.
