The Last Taboo: Uh-Oh
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I saw this picture of the March issue of British Vogue over here, where everyone is hot for Alex Chung’s clogs.
I don’t want clogs, but I’m sort of worried about “The Last Taboo” down there on the bottom right-hand corner. Evidently, we need to start talking about it.
Any guesses??
Starving vs Force-feeding
Monday, July 27th, 2009Alexa Chung is rocking some fierce and super-coveted Acne wedges, but nobody seems to notice that she’s starving. Why won’t Alexa eat?
The question is rhetorical. I know why. Been there, refused to eat that. Alexa probably looks in the mirror and sees nothing but fat.
On the other hand, in Mauritania, girls are still force-fed in order to procure a husband in a culture that regards obesity as socially desirable. This tradition, called leblouh, is literally torture.
This is some fucked up shit, isn’t it? Two cultures, two ways to subjugate women.
