Barbie’s Body on a Real Woman

20120807-090608.jpg

This image of Barbie’s proportions on an actual human being has been floating around Twitter recently attracting renewed criticism of Barbie’s unrealistic body. The thing is, I was kind of obsessed with Barbie myself. I played for hours with those six-inch pieces of plastic, creating unnecessary drama with Ken and cruising around my bathroom in [...]

25 Swimsuits & Bikinis for Girls who aren’t into wearing Dental Floss

Summer Swimsuits

Do boys have any idea what girls have to go through in preparation for a beach holiday? From the extra hours pounding the tarmac to the waxing, bleaching and exfoliating– it’s a  bloody nightmare I tell you. Luckily, fashion is in our favor this year.

I don’t think Sophia Loren gets enough credit as a 20th century screen icon. Her curves and beauty could certainly rival that of Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot, not to mention her career and lifestyle choices. While Monroe’s and Bardot’s talents were questionable outside of their looks, Sophia won 50 awards during her career including an [...]

‘Where Eating Disorders come from’ in one Easy-to-Use Flow Chart!

Who's responsible for too skinny?

Kind of true but is it really that simple? Can we really just blame all this evil on Mr. Ralph Lauren being too cheap with his fabric purchasing? And little Kate Bosworth there at the bottom?

When I came upon this piece of news this morning, I felt a small twinge of triumph; a bit of a “f**k you, so there” to the people in the fashion industry that continue to endorse an image like the one above. A team of researchers from the London School of economics and City University [...]

By now, you’re probably aware that I spend much of my time day-dreaming about what it would have been like to live in the past. Sure, as a woman I technically wouldn’t have had the right to vote, but there’s certainly a charm about any era when we weren’t all doing this… via here   [...]

Gossip is Good

Are We Going to See Victoria Beckham do the Nude Pregnancy Pose for American VOGUE? Ugh, do we have to? In the kind of news that gets prioritized over government coups, Victoria Beckham is pregnant and rumored to be expecting her first daughter. It’s also pretty well-known (amongst people that care to know this sort [...]
