Giselle Photoshopped: H&M is Modest for Dubai

Some people think it’s strange that recent ads for a new H&M campaign featuring Giselle have been Photoshopped. They don’t mind that Giselle’s hair has been smoothed, her skin is free of blemishes or that any sign of pores or dark circles under her eyes have been removed. They’re shocked that, for their campaign in [...]

A Different Version of Me

So, I’ve started wearing concealer. Wait a minute – let me back up. I’ve been sick. Since January, I’ve been experiencing a number of strange medical symptoms. After a physical and some routine bloodwork turned up normal, I began seeing specialists. We’ve done a lot of tests, ruled some things out, and found a few [...]

How Abortion Works, & Why Pro-Choice Is Not Pro-Abortion

I’ve been listening to Molly and Cristen again. The podcast I listened to this morning, available via HowStuffWorks.com, was about a topic we’re all familiar with, and likely think about at least on a monthly basis: abortion.

The History of Shaving

Last night, I shaved my legs.  It’s been…months?  I’m not even sure anymore. The entire time, I was thinking about Molly and Cristen. No, I don’t have two hot new girlfriends.  Molly and Cristen work for HowStuffWorks.com, and both podcasted at Stuff Mom Never Told You.  (Cristen still does – Molly’s working in other areas [...]

Nine West: Nude, Neutral…Not Even Trying?

Nine West, I love you.  You fit my feet like some sort of foot-glove, supporting my adorably high arches and keeping me from intense pain eight hours a day.  You are pretty, and sassy, and in my price range. So, being that we have this close, healthy relationship, I have to ask: what the hell [...]

The Other Side of Labels

This weekend I reconnected with an old friend, and over chili rellenos and mushroom quesadillas, I explained to her the mission behind The Demoiselles.  We laughed about my long-lived desire to tell the status quo to fuck off and unabashedly destroy the perceptions the media creates for us.
