“Most runway models meet the BMI criteria for anorexia’, claims plus-size magazine in powerful comment on body image in the fashion industry.” Read the article here.
This little girl has crazy confidence… that’s all I can say. Just watch the video.
You Are Not Crazy…
My friend recently shared an article with me called, “A message to women from a man: You are not crazy” and it was one of the most interesting things I have ever read. The author, Yashar (a man) talks about a term called “gaslighting.”
Gaslighting is a term, often used by mental health professionals (I am not one), to describe manipulative behavior used to confuse people into thinking their reactions are so far off base that they’re crazy.
In his article, Yashar urges women to stop thinking that we are crazy, emotional beings. Instead, he asks us to fight for what we truly feel and to not sugarcoat anything. As a woman, this article really changed my point of view on many situations. It made me realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which is weird because I already knew that. It made me realize how “gaslighting” has influenced me and how I’m going to do something about it. So please take the time to read this article, you will not regret it.
Check please!
Tonight I went to the olive garden with my boyfriend. At the end of our meal I paid and when the server came back he put the check book in front of derek. After he left we both started laughing because he assumed the man paid for the meal… And that the man who paid for it was named Corey. What he didn’t know was that this girl was the big spender! It’s little things like that that make me laugh.
This woman brings a new meaning to “pole dancing.” She is strong, sexy, tasteful and inspiring.
Ahhhh the “walk of shame.” Whether you have heard a story from a friend, walked past someone in a mini sparkle dress or experienced it first hand, you will find humor in this advertisement. Designer, Harvey Nichols tells women to “avoid the walk of shame this season” by wearing his clothing. If you wear Harvey Nichols, you will always look sophisticated and put together.
I will admit I think this ad is hilarious, because there is a lot of truth in it. However, it is my job as Rosie to critique it. I would first like to ask the question, do men take the walk of shame? The term is so heavily associated with women. When in fact, guys are equally as guilty. Men are often rewarded for sleeping with women, their number shows how manly they are. Whereas girls are considered slutty if they have had a lot of partners, it’s a double standard. So, the next time you are out walking at 7:00am and see a man walking past you on the streets look at him with judging eyes… because he might be taking the walk of shame.
On the other hand, if a girl dressed classy to begin with and made better choices, then she wouldn’t be in that predicament in the first place. So, the moral of the story is respect yourself and you will be respected by others.
Moosejaw created this augumented reality app to show customers what the models are wearing underneath their clothing. I was told by a friend that companies do this so customers can get a better idea of how the jacket or pants will fit them. So, basically they will use this app and think — damn it that won’t fit me because I don’t have a six pack.
I do appreciate the technology, and think this is actually really clever. I’m also thinking I would like to make my own app that shows you what an image looked like before it was photoshopped. How handy would that be?!
