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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
I know this policy has [...]

After hearing about the Exchange for Change program, my friends and I were intrigued at the idea of clothing swaps. I’d never been to one before, so I wasn’t quite sure what it involved. Most of the larger scale clothing swaps I’d heard of were full of small designer wares, and didn’t interest me in [...]

I was really trying to avoid saying anything about this as a great deal has been said already and the body image debate exhausts me at the best of times. But I’m going to say something anyway.
Jennifer Hawkins is on this month’s Marie Claire. Supposedly completely unairbrushed. And naked.
This is to raise awareness of body [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, or observe any other religious occasion, I hope you had a nice day off anyway.
Me?
Well, I have now learned not to buy my sister clothing for Christmas. Or at any other time of the year.
It is my own fault though. I knew it [...]
I used to have reasonably long hair. From childhood up until grade 12, it never got shorter than my shoulder blades. It was something I hid behind.

A few weeks ago it was my sister’s birthday. The sister whose ultimate aspiration is to buy from the front of the clothing racks, rather than the back. I carefully listened to her for months beforehand, to see if she would inadvertently give me a hint as to what she wanted for her birthday. She [...]
