Media Beauty Circus: Change the Way You Think About What You Think
We are delighted to have a guest post from one of the most insightful, ambitious, and effervescent writers on the ‘net. Ellie Di is a headologist, spiritual nomad, compulsive scribbler, literary midwife, professional pompom shaker, and master of the delicious mess. She spends her days writing like a motherfucker and plotting the next Big Thing. [...]
365Hangers: This is What Real Women Look Like
You may have heard, just a couple of weeks ago, that Lindsay and I are battling to the death to see whose shape is better. …Oh, wait. That’s not true. Firstly, Lindsay and I are sort of the same general shape (hourglass – though mine’s shorter and we are made using totally different kinds of [...]
Hating Your Body Before Anyone Else Does
Recently, a few of my friends have made some passing negative comments about their bodies. Usually, I challenge their negativity, they remember I’m not the shame-you-for-everything media, and we go back to whatever it is we were doing before my good friend talked shit about my good friend, forcing me to have to defend my [...]
You Don’t Love Yourself If…
The ever-rising world of self-love and body-acceptance is a roller-coaster of emotions for me. I know, what sense does that make, given that I’m technically a “body image blogger?” Trust me, if I added that to the pre-existing mix of confusion, my eyes would roll back into me head and I’m start twitching and singing [...]
My 23-Year-Old Bottom
“I weigh more now than I have before, and now that I’m older it’s settling differently… …aka in my ass and thighs… …but I’m kind of on board with it. I feel hot, so fuck it. Frankly, I don’t feel like devoting my energy to sculpting the ass of a 12 yr old out of [...]
Season of Swim: What Are You Wearing?
Memorial Day weekend has begun (or, if you’re already on vacation, you may not see this until it’s come and gone) and rather than gallivanting about Folklife with Lindsay and celebrating my birthday with friends, family and copious adult beverages, I’ll be nursing a bad flu bug and making up for the work I’ve missed [...]
Tone Your Children – Or Maybe Just The Girls
We’ve been aware of the influx of shaping, toning, butt-fixing shoes for months now. Personally, we find it vindicating and liberating to switch channels during the ridiculous commercials and, as fashion bloggers on the side, reap the anti-sartorial benefits of their horrid shape and design by snarking to our heart’s content. That being said, we’ve [...]
Meghan McCain vs. Glenn Beck: A Front Row Seat to Lady-Ownage
I didn’t vote for Meghan McCain‘s dad, John, and rarely paid attention to her blogs and articles on The Daily Beast. In fact, I know little to nothing about Meghan McCain… except that she’s a badass body image warrior, and that is more than enough for me to adore her. Is she not unbelievably stunning? [...]
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 [...]
