The Oscars

The Oscars were on Monday (Sunday night US time). I haven’t been interested in who wins what in a very long time, but I’ve always been interested in Oscar fashion. This year, there weren’t too many missteps, or overly awesome standouts.
But I did notice Gabourey Sidibe. Nominated for Best Actress for her role in Precious [...]

posting on eggshells

If we’re being trained to watch everything we type – why bother saying anything at all?

Outside the Box

We’re a notoriously lazy bunch. For most Australians, entertainment comes from that box in the lounge room, or that other box in the study, bedroom, or wherever your computer is located. It is playing Xbox, or watching DVDs. None of these activities require company, and for the most part, they don’t require much thought or [...]

Age Issues: How Young Is Too Young?

The Council of Fashion Designers of America Health Initiative panel recently held a discussion on “The Beauty of Health: Resizing the Sample Size.” It was said that models below the age of 18 shouldn’t be allowed to work in the industry. Casting agent James Scully said, ”I am running out of girls to cast my [...]

Feminist, Fat and Fabulous Blog: The Swap

Our clothes swap took place on the weekend. It was at my friend’s place, and let me tell you — if I hadn’t have gotten a lift there, I would not have been able to cart all my stuff with me.
I have a LOT of stuff.
To be fair, it wasn’t ALL mine. Some was my [...]

A State of Ignorance

It scares me how many people living within our society are ignorant of the most simple things. Sometimes the ones who are supposed to be the most switched on are the most brainless of the lot.
Case in point. I was sitting down having lunch one day last year at university, a place where I have [...]

Film Review: Avatar… still topping the charts

Nominated for nine academy awards including best picture, James Cameron is back with the overly hyped film of the year; the science fiction blockbuster, Avatar. The film, having already overtaken Titanic which previously held the record for the highest grossing film of all time, seems to be pleasing most audiences.
Avatar has been a long [...]

Fashion

Its raining here in Queensland. I love the rain but its the kind of weather that makes you think ’should I wear jeans and risk it being humid and dying from heat exhaustion or should I wear shorts and risk freezing my bottom off?’
To those of you in QLD you understand how it can be beautiful one [...]

Pop-stars are Not Just Pretty Faces

Anna Angel has joined the lip team as a blogger. Expect to see regular discussions of pop culture, with a feminist twist!
Only a few years ago the words “female pop star” would conjure up images of scantily-clad, pouting sex kittens with a vocabulary limited to ‘ooh’, ‘baby’, and the occasional ‘oh, baby’. True to the [...]
