Congratulations to them! About time, and I’ll bet a lot of others will take courage from this and do the same.

I’ve just discovered your blog, following Google’s cache on this story.

Nice work. I’ll have to bookmark you.

We at WHI love you and we’re so grateful for your support. Thanks so much, Harpyness! <3

(Also, the 130 signatures isn’t the real figure — it’s just the pages that we had on our persons to show the journalist from Pasadena Star News.)

@HanaMaru, misscalculate – yeah, that whole image of sweat dripping off the guy’s balls, that’s a keeper.

Honestly, though, everyone I know loves that song and sings along to it loudly at parties.

@HanaMaru Who can give up a song that has women trying to shake it down to the ground? That’s a mainstay (snark).

The kids are still listening to “Get Low”? I would not have pegged that one for longevity, but what do I know? Those girls are so brave and awesome for what they did.
