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 [...]

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

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.

Feminist, Fat and Fabulous Blog: Welcome to the Bandwagon

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.

Film Review : Passengers

Michael Bond’s new independent film Passengers, an Australian project, which recently debuted at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, has been labeled “brutally honest, thought provoking and confronting”.

Feminist, Fat and Fabulous blog: Don’t Tell Me What I Can Wear

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 [...]

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 [...]
