as a woman of FIRST, I would like to say that I have no desire for a more femine FIRST and find the whole idea that we, as equal competitors, are being represented by a cosmetics company a little insulting. I'm sure that they did not mean to imply that our worth as members of a team could be judged by our outward appearance, but that is how it feels when they choose cosmetic companies and models to represent us. I don't see why we need to be represented separately. I am a member of FIRST robotics, why can I not simply be represented by FIRST?
