rethinking the pear

Sisters, we need to re-brand the pear shape. It has a bad rap. In some cultures, pear-shaped women are the ideal. They look healthy and men tend to view them as better mates (e.g., child-bearing hips).

My suggestion: let’s French-ify it. We’re not pear-shaped. We’re “en forme de poire.” Who wouldn’t want to be more poire-like? Besides, they are tasty, elegant fruits. They are the gift on the first day of Christmas (along with the partridge, a pear-shaped bird). They have a solid base. Ever see a strawberry stand on its own? I think not.
