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
- Tobi Baptist, and Vinnie went to a Catholic school for many years
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
