since time began women have been comparing themselves to other women; civilization tarted w/ a beauty contest; organized by height, weight, hair color &c. women stood side by side; mothers, girls, daughters, spinsters; ***** & a Prince walked up and own the line to select a queen; in Esther's case the old queen was a shrewish ***** who the king had to put away; outspoken in public she made him look like a **** so he picked a new queen a little Jewish girl with an enormous rack & saved the Jews from persecution; the contest was fixed by her uncle who had the Prince's ear... the judgement of Paris started an ancient war; Helen who? Athena, Hera & Aphrodite stood naked & freshly bathed, powdered and scented luminous; **** driving the young prince insane with fiery mind & body; he chose Aphrodite cuz she could get him laid w/ a dainty snap of her fingers. Athena had offered him all the wisdom in the world & he chose *****; Hera held out power & dominion & he chose ****; the judgement of Paris goes on to this day; he gets just what he wanted & still he's the biggest loser
