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 [...]
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 [...]
2009 was the year of the fatshion blogger. The amount of new fatshion blogs that sprang out of the woodwork was insane. Everywhere you looked, news outlets, print, online and on television were talking about fat fashion and fashion bloggers.
It has made some people scream “ENOUGH.” That they were there first and they did it [...]
You know what I’m sick of? Websites and TV programs masquerading as giving women empowering style tips, when they’re really using body shaming language, rigid style ‘rules’, oh, and, other people’s photos without permission!
A plus sized blogger was contacted recently and asked to contribute to this article that was being written on a website. It [...]

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.
The New York Times took the photo down and posted a retraction, saying something about ‘routine processing’. Yeah, sure. The columnist talked about whether Christina Hendricks was too fat for fashion [...]
Hello Lip ladies and any one else reading on, this is the first of a weekly blog from myself, Amy, fashion editor here at Lip.
Each week I’d like to share with you all what’s going on in my head space, fashion-wise.
So a little about me: I’m Amy! I’m from Queensland and I have been with [...]
I’ll interrupt the fashion and fabulous talk for a moment to focus Air France’s new policy.
For sanity reasons: Don’t read the comments. Never, ever read the comments. I’m serious. I know now people will end up reading them purely because I said not to, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
