Thanks so much for the shout-outs, Nubby! I’m honored.

That Fashion Indie article really pissed me off, appearing as it did just as Terry Richardson was being accused of sexual exploitation by many of his models. And he’s the top perv on the list. Coincidence? I THINK NOT. “This is fashion. Suck it up, girlies.” And then adding Dov Charney et al to the mix. They aren’t at all in the same category as Jane Aldridge and Bryanboy, whose “perviness” is about their own inclinations and explorations, rather than the tacitly sanctioned abuse of others.

Beautiful, thanks for the white-rooms link! So inspiring – loving white everything at the moment! xo

I had the same feelings as Katharine on the Fashion Indie article – it’s not like sexual abuse isn’t taken less seriously in our culture than it should be already, without making it out like models just have “sour grapes”. However, I also find it hard to take any website even half seriously that has such terrible fonts (in Chrome at least, the entire thing shows up in Comic Sans) and badly done advertising. Still feel like I need to go take a shower now, yuuuuuck.
Liked Sal’s articles though.

Thank you (again!) for including my entry in your post.

I really enjoy subtitles (but I’m not American).
I even watch films in English or my own language with subtitles – it helps me get everything.
It’s weird for me when I go to a country that dubs all foreign shows, not just the movies – imagine Friends in Hungarian, never knowing how Karen from Will & Grace sounds…
Watching shows (Disney Classics
!) in English with subtitles helped me, immensely, with learning the language.
