Make Your Move

Make Your Move is an campaign from Missoula’s Intervention in Action Project, a group of community organizations dedicated to ending sexual violence.

These adverts highlight sexual assault awareness by using menacing slogans with twist endings that show that any of us are capable of intervening in uncomfortable situations.

Instead of reminding women not to endanger themselves (which should be obvious), they are reminding people to step in when if they witness a potentially dangerous situation.

Says Missoula’s Intervention in Action Project:

Our campaign’s goals are to: 1) Engage men and women as allies to prevent sexual violence by increasing awareness and education about the dynamics of sexual violence and 2) Encourage bystanders to foster healthy non-violent relationships and interrupt attitudes, language and actions that support sexual violence.

Don’t be THAT Guy

The simplicity of these adverts deserve a minute of appreciation. Just because she doesn’t say no, doesn’t means she’s said yes. Unfortunately situations like this are all too common. If you have, or know anyone who has been affected by sexual assault click here.

Fashion Blogs / Bloggers

When you spend so much time on the internet looking for content/inspiration, it’s unfortunate that you’ll have to trawl through hundreds of “fashion blogs” written by kids who are usually younger than you, have more money than you, and more followers. Now, I’m not usually one to hate (why are you laughing…?!), but I’ve been silent about this new breed of androids for long enough. 
One thing I just don’t understand is this shy, coy, awkward body language that fashion bloggers seem to adopt. The simple fact that you spend your days photographing EVERY outfit you wear screams that you are anything but shy and awkward about yourself. If your blog is named after you, and the majority of your posts include you, then sweetheart, you are not a shy little wallflower.
Call me old fashioned (because I damn well am!), but what the hell is going on with boys fashion on these blogs?! Don’t get me wrong, the girls’ fashions are no better, but I can’t even be bothered to get in to that now… I don’t know when boys changed from dressing like normal people, to dressing like a cross between Kanye West and Edward Scissorhands (…just not half as sexy!). I have never had a wet dream (or even wanted to see) a boy in jeans that are skinnier than the leggings I’m wearing and tops that are baggier than the plus size section in New Look. It just doesn’t do it for me.
Now, let’s all be honest, the kids who run these blogs seem to go to the “cool” parties, have the newest “fashion items”, and an expensive camera to document it all with. So where do you think all this stuff comes from? I’m guessing by their perfectly manicured (but intentionally chipped) nails and their pre-worn, vintage, new clothes, that they have never done a day’s work in their lives. So, either they are making thousands of £££ through their blogging skills (ahem….) or they have a special bank that not many of us are lucky enough to have. The Bank of Mum & Dad. I’m not against kids who get money off their parents, hey, if you can go for it! But if that is the case, why the hell are these kids so intent on looking like they’re so hard up that they have to resort to looting Oxfam?! 
This world of fashion bloggers is not one I want to ever be involved in, and I’m getting pretty tired of seeing photos of kids who just don’t resemble anything that I find remotely interesting. Where the hell are all the old hip hop kids? The country girls? The lives-in-the-real-world-works-a-9-to-5-grafts-for-a-living-dresses-normally-honeys??? 
 
I’m sick of it.
 
Rant over. 

Style Icon: JWOWW

I don’t care what anyone says, JWOWW is a style icon. If you’ve watched Jersey Shore, there is no denying the fact that JWOWW is a gorgeous, strong, independent lady. My heart went out to her when her ex-BF robbed her house after a messy break-up. But in the end she got what she deserved – a fantastic new man Rodger! What a perfect couple. Whatever your thoughts on JWOWW, I don’t care, I love her and PUSSY loves her… so I have compiled 4  looks for us to channel our inner-JWOWW.

Kelly Kapowski: Style Icon

Of course KK is one of my style icons. Growing up watching the character in Saved By the Bell,  made me want to look like her, talk like her and dress like her. Not only has she got the best hair ever, but her style is second to none. Have a look at my girl-crush then learn to dress like her. I love you Kelly!! xx
