A sexual revolution or a sexually revolted society?

This day and age it can difficult to tell the difference. The act of sexual intercourse is rapidly growing in popularity at a younger age and daily tasks and activities are increasingly beginning to represent a sexual norm. So is it just me, or is there more to it? Take for instance, this giant sculpture [...]

Hairy legs are not news… not even entertainment news.

The fact that this ‘issue’ has been bought up in the media as newsworthy frustrates me to the max.

A lady with hairy legs isn’t unhygienic or unlady like… it’s a waste of space and time knowing this is classed as journalism. So what she didn’t get up in the morning and shave her legs for [...]

Feminist, Fat, and Fabulous Blog: You Don’t Put A Big Girl In A Big Dress

There was a recent brouhaha about a photoshopped picture in the New York Times of Christina Hendricks (Joan from Mad Men) at the Golden Globes.

Tropic Thunder – taking on the world’s issues

It may be hard to digest at first, and even though it’s not in cinemas anymore and has been out of the radar for a while now… Tropic Thunder starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jnr and Jack Black, has made some very important waves in raising awareness of social issues through the benefit of entertainment.

Feminist, Fat, and Fabulous Blog: 43 Centimetres

I’ll interrupt the fashion and fabulous talk for a moment to focus Air France’s new policy.

I know this policy has [...]
