Who are you Dorothy Snarker?
Who is Dorothy Snarker you ask? Well she writes her own blog (I've never read it) and she also writes for afterellen.com. FYI, I'm a huge fan of afterellen.com. Awesome site! However, I'm not a big fan of Dorothy Snarker at the moment. Apparently she had some issues with Sarah Michelle Gellar being named 2008 Maxim Woman of the Year and with the photos that were taken (HOT HOT HOT!).Ms. Snarker writes, "Oh, Buffy, Buffy. Maxim? Really? What happened to “Are you ready to be strong?” How can you be strong while clutching your cleavage? That can't be a good fighting stance." followed by, "As much as I think it's every woman's prerogative to use her sexuality however she pleases, ...Sarah in black lacy bra and fingerless gloves does not scream, “Strong! Independent! Woman!” to me. It screams, “Hello! Still here! Remember me?”"
All I can say is WHAT? So showing your sexy side means you degrade yourself? Less Strong? Less Independent? Less Woman? If I'm Sarah right now, I am beyond offended. Hell, I'm not Sarah and I'm offended. I'm curious if Ms. Snarker's reaction would have been different had these photos appeared in The Advocate as opposed to Maxim. Perhaps if she wants to join our other 6 readers, she will post a comment about it.
When I see these photos I think, "Wow, she looks great." Ok, really my reaction was, "Holy crap that's HOT!" Should the strong, independent, feminist side of me hide that reaction because it's Maxim? I don't think so. When I looked at these images, I didn't analyze them for hidden meanings, I didn't make some uninformed judgment about why she did them, and I certainly didn't let them lessen Buffy the character or Sarah the actress or, even more importantly, Sarah the person. They are pictures. Pictures that show a very sexy side of an actress.

Is it odd that I can hear Jenny from the LWord saying Snarker the same way she says Merkin? What would be her phrase? "Golf ball retriever" or "malicious sarcasm"? Doesn't go as well as "vagina wig" though!
I have to agree with DITC6 on this one. I think SMG is hot and the less she is wearing the better!
Strength has nothing to do with being naked or half naked-it has to do with integrity and character. I really have nothing bad to say about SMG except-why would you ever marry Freddie Prinze Jr?

Um, I know I can be strong and clutch my cleavage at the same time.
Did you know she changed her name to Sarah Michelle Prinze? After 5 years of marriage.
Would Buffy pose in Maxim? Or was she to reserved?
PS. Hi Witch,
Could you explain to me how to copy an image like you did with Sarah Michelle Gellar Prinze who looks amazing! Your loving sister, Jodi
Couldnt agree more!!!!
The pics are wicked hot! I cannot believe someone would say that you cannot be sexy AND strong at the same time... Come on, strength IS sexy! Why cant people just leave things alone... some people always have to find SOMETHING to complain about!
