Scary Slut
This is from a campaign against sexy/racist Halloween costumes, especially for kids. It is ironic that Emma Watson was photoshopped for this ad. However, I know that she's said things like, "I find the whole concept of being 'sexy' embarrassing and confusing' so I can say that she's still a good face for this campaign.
Our culture essentially expects female teenagers and adults to be sexy on Halloween. It's this weird dialogue where women want to be sexy themselves but often complain about other women doing this too. As Jenna Marbles in this video says, "girls walk into a bar, club, party, on any night, not just Halloween, they look around and what's the first they do? "oh my god, see that girl over there? argh, what is she wearing? that girl is a fuckin' hoe".
Women are turned against one another.
We call each other sluts or whores.
Every day, not just on Halloween.
Last year I got bitchy at my friend for sleeping with a lot of guys.
What is your opinion? Are sexy Halloween costumes bad? Do they objectify women for the purpose of men's sexual pleasure? Or are they empowering?
Most importantly, am I a bad person?

my veejay's too small for y'all
Here are some links to some really interesting sites.
Why women aren't crazy
You can get laid without being a jerk
The end of gender
The Seventeen Magazine Project
^This last one is my absolute favourite. I just love it so much.
So.The other day I was in the livingroom eating chips (typical) and two of my guy roommates were talking about sex (typical). I asked them what a girl's "number" would have to be for it to be problematic for them.
Guy number one said, "Anything more than me,"
Now this guy is the funniest. He is so into growing facial hair and hockey and his Nike sneakers and "wheeling" girls. His comment just further displays the the hypermasculinity society has imposed on him. He thinks he'd be less of a "man" (whatever the hell that means) if a girl "wheeled" (can a girl wheel a guy? I don't exactly know what wheeling means)more guys than his number. See, with him I felt bad for him. I think he's almost a victim to society's standards.
But then my other roommate, who I usually consider to be quite sexy said, "Girls and guys are different and it completely throws me off if a girl has done a bunch of guys and if I girl had sex with more than ten guys I wouldn't want anything to do with her".
So I get that he's a victim of hypermasculinity too but his comment made me sort of mad. I mean, what would he do if his soul mate had sex with eleven guys? Dump her in a ditch? And girls are "different"?. Hey, we all wanna get laid. I want to get laid right now. And I imagine he does too. But we're still different? So he's allowed to go to Sassy's and pick up a girl and I'm not.
Anyways, after he said that he said, "you're not gonna put this in your fucking blog are you?"
Ssssshhhhhhhhh.......It's our little secret.

Dyin' Over Here
These are some photos of my body. They make me want to die.

This is my front.

Backside.

The side. PUKE IN MY MOUTH.

My left boobie is noticeably bigger.

Flabby McFlab.

Pass the butter. Need it for my rolls.

No.

Prime Triple A Steak.

Dead.

This is me.
Kidding. This is Kaley Cuoco. Fooled you.

This is me.
I used to be skinny and now I'm not and it stresses me out because my male roommates say that Kaley Cuoco is the hottest piece of shit alive. And everyone else who is famous is thinner than me. And all my friends. And I know that we're not supposed to compare ourselves to famous people and the media is bad because it makes us feel bad about ourselves and our body images and self esteem because we can't compete with the implants and injections and personal trainers of Hollywood. And I'm a sociology student and I've taken classes on this stuff and I know it's impossible to be like these people. But I still feel really bad about myself all the time.
I really do blame it on the media because we're obviously so bombarded with all the skinny bitches. That's not new to anyone, I'm sure. I feel like it's affecting me a lot more lately than it has in the past. Really due to the freshman fifteen I gained three years ago.
The whole concept of taking photos of myself in my bra and panties made me miserable. I actually felt like shit and I still feel like shit. But a little bit empowered because I'm sure a lot of other girls wouldn't have done it at all.
I dare you guys to. do it.
And actually, as I think about it now, I think I look pretty fuckin' hot. But for some reason I am craving celery and water.
How do you guys feel?
