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
