Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.

So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.

It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.

My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.

My mother always called me an ugly weed so I never was aware of anything until I was older. Plain girls should have someone telling them they are beautiful. Sometimes this works miracles.

You know who cares about seeing the girls when everybody wants to see the band. That's what's important KISS is important. I think we look great and the attitude is there and I'm real happy with it.

And I tell you having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers but they only have boys and they have the same attitude toward women they always had you know? And I don't play that... My girls you mess with them? I will bury you underground.

Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea.

I feel there should have been some recognition of the Spice Girls at this year's 25th anniversary. We flew the flag for Britain around the globe in the 1990s and we achieved a hell of a lot.

You know 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young and it was a show about old people and it was a very traditional show but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.

If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.

I truly don't know why the boys are getting all the votes - it could be because they are really amazing and that's all there is to it. They're really really good and every single boy deserves to be in the competition right now and so do the two girls.

As far as the girls in my grade it was always kind of an on-and-off thing. When all this came up it was kind of hard. My guy friends and my family friends have been so amazing and supportive.

We're all doing different things and some of the girls are mums so priorities have changed. But I would love to do something with the Spice Girls again. I know we would have an amazing time.

I auditioned for 'Girls' the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing - as close to perfect as it gets!

When I receive letters from girls that say 'You give me confidence ' I think 'Wow this is amazing.' That's my goal: to let people know it's truly what's on the inside that counts.

My sister Jennifer is an Emmy winning journalist and mother of three amazing girls. She brings an exceptional dedication to her job her family and her community and has been a role model of mine for many many years. I'm extremely proud of her.

At 13 when I was a runaway I was taken in by the most amazing drag queens in Portland Ore. We didn't always know where our next meal was coming from but there was so much camaraderie and love. Not to mention those girls could paint a face and I learned how because of them.

I love getting dressed up. Being a pop star is the most brilliant job for that. A lot of girls love shopping but they might see the most amazing outfit and think 'When am I going to wear that?' so it's my duty to exploit the fact I do have events I can wear these things to.

I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York saw a lot of amazing dresses.

Texas women have an amazing sense of purpose when they lose it. They're the best girls in the world - they're loyal and fun but when they get mad they'll try to kill you.

Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.

Having gone through so many of the personal things I've gone through its about creating an (online) space for girls to be heard. I don't profess to have all the answers. But Ask Elizabeth is a space where girls are not alone.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.
