Having fun with the whole metrosexual trendlet, Virgin Atlantic Airways announced that nominations for its ongoing Jetrosexual Awards will close this Friday, September 16. Apparently, hundreds of people have nominated their metro/jetrosexual friends since the program launched in June. The program seeks the ultimate Boston and Washington D.C. area entrepreneur and will award the Bostonian and DCist that best personifies the Jetrosexual spirit. Virgin Atlantis says the awards celebrate a “new emerging business culture lead by a growing group of Jetrosexuals, those high fliers who move business and culture forward each and every day.”

The nomination site includes a list of 11 Jetrosexual Commandments including “Thou shalt be able to order a beer in at least six different languages” and “Thou shalt respect the five minute rule when using the lavatory.” Local semi-finalists will be announced on September 30, 2005, be reviewed by a selection committee with final awards announced October 17, 2005. The winner will enjoy a high flying, Virgin Atlantic Upper Class experience to London.

Psychologists say the bond between a person and the dog that sleeps in their bed isn’t comparable to human attachment. It’s actually more stable, because the dog never withdraws affection as punishment, never keeps score, and never makes closeness conditional on performance.

The generation that performed stability even when they were barely holding on — boomers who kept immaculate homes, perfect lawns, and polished images while quietly falling apart — is finally putting down the mask, and this is what it looks like

Psychology says people who constantly try to become better versions of themselves aren’t actually growing — they’re running from a core belief that who they are right now isn’t enough, and that anxiety prevents the very self-acceptance that real growth requires
