Size 12 Models Cause Fashion Week Walk Out

This is unfuckingbelievable.  I'm so sick of the fashion industry disrespecting women.  We're the ones who buy your clothes!

A stylist and casting director have left a London Fashion Week show over a decision to use average-sized models, a fashion boss says.

Amanda May, managing director for Canadian designer Mark Fast, said there were "creative differences with regards to the casting of those girls".

Fast broke fashion convention by putting three size 12 to 14 models on the catwalk on Saturday.

"There was a team change and we're glad we stuck to our vision," said Ms May.

Watermelon Same Effect as Viagra

I love watermelon but didn't realize that it's the gift that keeps on giving ;)

Eating watermelon has a similar effect on the body to Viagra, according to researchers in the US. 

It's down to a chemical called citrulline which is found in the juicy fruit.  Citrulline is an organic compound which affects the body's blood vessels in the same way as the sex enhancement pills.

It helps relax the blood vessels which means blood gets around the body more easily. 

65 Year Old Model Talk of London Fashion Week

OMG! I love this story: A 65-year-old will today become the oldest woman to model at London Fashion Week.

Valerie Pain, who began her career in the Sixties, will be taking part in the All Walks Beyond The Catwalk event, which has been endorsed by Sarah Brown and the British Fashion Council.

Today, the mother-of-one said that designers could be more open-minded about using and designing for older women.  "A lot of designers could take something from this and realise they can design for all types of women."

Nax: The Male Sex Doll

Nax is kind of scary but he is a German export.  Not only is he going bald on top with a long flowing ponytail a la Michael Bolton circa the ‘90s, he also sports a pubic bush that would make a forest jealous.

Although the Germans describe Nax as "a giant of a man with athletic appeal", it's quite obvious that they didn't consult a female focus group.  Men are always so scared of competition ;)

So if you have $10,000 lying around for a sex doll know that Nax isn't always ready to go with a massive erection. He has an "automatically soaring penis" and "artificial automatic ejaculation."

The Clinton Global Initiative

Bill Clinton was on the Daily Show last night.  Love the magenta tie with the white hair.  AND I REALLY LOVE that his main focus is on improving the lives of women and girls because, and I quote, "the number 1 thing you can do to slow population growth and increase income is to get all the girls of the world in school and access to the labor market."

Sex & Politics on the Web

Here's the latest and greatest:

They've released a few minutes of footage from Michael Moore's latest doc "Capitalism: A Love Story". It all began with Reaganonmics.

Nancy Pelosi choked up today as she begged the nation to give the rhetoric a rest (hear that Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh) and warned that such words can lead to violence.

And Tom Cruise revealed that sex with him is like flying

Naked Blond Turns Tables on Construction Cat Callers

I admire this woman for having the guts to make a point.  When I practiced law, I kind of used the same technique and became the predator instead of the prey.  It worked like a charm:

Burly builders fled when a naked blonde rushed at them on a construction site in the Austrian capital Vienna shouting: "Who wants me?"  The hard-hat hunks ran for cover when the woman turned the tables on them on the building site beside the city's main railway station.

"We like to chat up girls as they walk past - it's a tradition," said one builder.

Men: A Smile is All It Takes

We don't need you to figure out our lives, save the day, or lie and say we look fabulous in coolots and clogs.  We just want you to smile when you look at us just like George:

Scientists found that women who are unhappy with the way they look feel significantly better about themselves after being greeted by a smiling face.

The boost in self esteem has led psychologists to think that for many, confidence in their appearance is all about social acceptance.  The study found that women who are unhappy with the way they look feel better after being greeted by a smiling face.

New Video Game to Promote Sexual Health

Once again sexual health is all about STDs with no mention of sexual skills or sexual pleasure *sigh*

Channel 4 Education has commissioned independent developer Zombie Cow Studios to create a PC download game about sexual health.  Aimed primarily at young males, the game will take a light hearted approach to advice on sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancy.

Speaking at a briefing today, Channel 4 Education commissioning editor Matt Locke revealed that Privates will be a "spoof on the Space Marine genre", in which players enter a young man's privates to shoot down infections.

Where Did Hollywood's Heroines Go?

Betty and I always talk about how there aren't any smart, strong, vixen archetypes in film anymore.  Betty was named after Betty Boop - a single woman who always beat out the villian.  And Betty's fave of all time: Mae West.  She always out smarted the men and flaunted her sensuality shamelessly.  Let's go back to the golden age of cinema when women had "balls" or should I say "big clits".  Thank you, Daily Mail for calling out Hollywood for depicting women as desperate, pathetic and frigid:

Seen any good films recently, ladies? Ones that had you skipping out of the cinema happy to call yourself a woman? It's hard to think of one, isn't it?

Top Ten Sex Excuses

TOP TEN SEX EXCUSES

1. Too tired

2. I'm not in the mood

3. I've got a headache

4. I've got to get up in the morning

5. I'm pre-occupied with work

Sex on the Web

Seems our genes are too blame for early first sex. It's about our impulsivity, desire for sensation, argumentativeness etc. and not about our absentee father.

Women's bodies have changed quite a bit over the last 60 years: we're taller, heavier in the middle, and our feet are 3 sizes bigger.

An anti-abortion group is busy trying to illegalize abortion and birth control including the pill and the morning after pill in Florida.  They just can't let it go.

Insurance companies in 9 states (Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming), are claiming that "domestic violence" is also a pre-existing condition.

An australian woman charged with organizing her own home abortion is to stand trial for "procuring an abortion" which carries a maximum penalty of 7 years in jail.

Natural Breast Enhancements with Your Own Body Fat

OMG!  The stampede is going to be worse than a Dolce & Gabanna sample sale.  And I have to admit that as a woman with large "ass"ets I'd love to suck a bit of fat out and pump it into my breasts.  Am I still a feminist?

Women are to be offered "natural breast enlargements" using unwanted fat from other parts of their bodies, it has been announced.  The technique will be made available "early next year", according to the Harley Medical Group.

Worry About Your Big Ego NOT Your Big Clit

Thank you, Sex & The City, for reducing us to self-absorbed shopaholics waiting for prince charming:

American women are more egocentric and narcissistic than we ever used to be, according to extensive research by two leading psychologists.

More of us have huge expectations of ourselves, our lives and everyone in them. We think the universe resolves around us, with a deluded sense of our own fabulousness, and believe we are cleverer, more talented and more attractive than we actually are.

Once a traditionally male syndrome, narcissism generally begins at home and in schools, where children are praised excessively, often spoiled rotten and given the relentless message that they are 'special'.

Psychology professors Jean Twenge and Keith Campbell analysed studies on 37,000 college students in 2006.

Hubby Hubby Ice Cream to Celebrate Gay Marriage

What about an ice cream flavor for gay women....like double couchie crunch?

One of Ben and Jerry's most popular ice creams 'Chubby Hubby' will be sold under the new name 'Hubby Hubby' for the month of September to celebrate gay marriage in the company's home state of Vermont.

Ben and Jerry's Ice cream thinks the state of Vermont's decision to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples which came into effect Tuesday is a good reason to celebrate.

Ben & Jerry's aims to raise awareness of what it calls the "importance of marriage equality." And to show support for the legislation they will serve "Hubby Hubby" sundaes in Vermont Scoop Shops throughout the month of September.
