Men-Ups.

Men in stereotypical Pin-Up poses. When this link was sent to me...all I could think of was big booty hoes sprawled over the hood of cars on the covers of magazins like King...and the likes. What I saw, was even more mind bending. The dredded pointed toe. Yikes.

See them all here.

The Linkdown: Now you Know.

1. World of Fourcraft....Manhattan is my domain. The object of the game is to join forces with your Borough Buddies™ and swarm over and conquer the entirety of New York City.

2. The Fast food Mafia.

3. The truth, about mens body wash.

4. Ipad Mirror shot. Just because you can afford it...doesnt mean you should have it.

6. The modern Noahs Ark (aka too much free time). <---Person of the Day Alert!

7. Is this really a feminist wedding dress? Or is it more a slut wedding dress?

8. OK Mr President....you can pick me up at the corner of 17th and 5th....I'll call my mom on the cell phone too (or talk to you about how/why my tax refunds are so low, either/or).

9. Google is trying to keep up.

Ball Busting Women of Cinema.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROWDOWN from Scott Cramer on Vimeo.

1. This is a bad idea, fightclubs in Chinatown that pit Models against boxers (Or is it a great idea?).

2. Angry Birdsky.

3. Rich People vs. Poor People. "Wall Street works harder than teachers" and "$250 Thou a year is not alot of money."

4. Oh word, your calling Michelle Obama fat? Wow.

5. Zombies. I've been meaning to post this for awhile now.

6. Daniel Craig, for womens rights...in drag.

And in the Netherlands (aha) they sell Suits like this.

Good old fashion (aha) sex-ism. Suitsupply allegedly from the Netherlands sells male cloths with the nether-regions (aha) of the opposite sex. Please....send your hate mail to them. I am just the messenger. I will say however, they have some nice outerwear coats.

The Linkdown: Deal with it!

1. Women have worked so hard for equal rights...and then someone tells you that you need to wash your vagina to get a raise.

2. Happy BDay to MJ. Miss you man.

3. A fatal death only Glenn Beck could deserve.

4. Pizza Hut makes Korean girls want to dance.

5. Snookie's boyfriends proposed to her...through a cover and photo spread of a real live magazine. This is important because....now fame and talent mean nothing.

6. Things get a little weird when agencies start connecting back to school with high school nude art classes (whisper: that doesnt happen in real life--anywhere).

7. The trailer to the new TRON movie.

8. I DO NOT understand why this didnt make it big.

The SHii.

Ha. Offensive and Funny. Ha.

There really is no better feeling than the one of punching a girl in the face....

...in China. 

Just incase you wanted to live your entire life without even thinking about touching a girl in a violent manner, there's one country that just will not allow it. Apparently domestic abuse is a big problem in China. And you will comply, whether you want a part in it or not.

Social Change...this ones for the LADIES.

This is a spot for a new dutch cider called Jillz, which is mysteriously made by Heineken. It's campy and I like that. The reference to 90's boy bands is entertaining enough. But wait...there's more. The agency who made it, Pink and Poodle, there is some type of social change message behind it.

"In advertising for men, seductive females are almost standard issue, whereas male eye candy for women is still somewhat taboo....This is because the advertising community is still in the firm grip of unrelenting alpha males. In the commercial, which is shot as a music video, the four singing hunks do not address women as the usual stereotypes of housewife, sex kitten, blonde bimbo or business bitch. Instead, the ad aims at a more elementary level of their femininity—the evolutionary instinct to discuss, judge and select attractive men."

Leave it to the Dutch to provide social change through a minute spot. What do we think about this ideal? I see tons of woman in advertising. Are we buying this? Do we really believe that the only reason we aren't bamboozled with the likes of naked men in ads is because alpha men run the advertising world. Sex sells (so they say). But does sex sell-the same way-with women? I'll admit it...about 30 seconds in, I got uncomfortable/self conscience. Do they have a point? Or is this all deja vu. What do you think? If you are Dutch...keep your opinions to yourself.

Question: 

"What in the 20th century did more to liberate Western women?," asks an article in the l'Osservatore Romano, the semi-official Vatican newspaper.

Vatican Answer:

 "The debate is heated. Some say the pill, some say abortion rights and some the right to work outside the home. Some, however, dare to go further: the washing machine..."

Hell to the holy yeah! Organized religion at it's best.

History Lesson: for Fashionable Women.

Alicia Keys as Michelle Obama

“She has worked hard for everything she’s accomplished, and done so with grace and humility. So many women and girls can identify with her story.”—Alicia Keys, 

This month Glamour Magazine celebrates a few historic "female risk takers, rule breakers and style makers" with the help of some of today's top talents.

Hayden Panettier as Amelia Earhart

America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta

Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter

“She’s a symbol of women getting things done. It shows that strength is beautiful.”

Go check out the the rest of the Glamour article. It's worth it for the photo reenactments alone. And it's educational. And inspirational. And above all...the title of the article rhymes.

Palin, against abortion, but for rape.

Get Your War On explores Palins' abortion policy...especially when it comes to rape victims.

"It's almost as if a rapist rubbed a magic lamp and Sarah Palin popped out and gave them three wishes...."

I'm guessing it's platforms like these that cause people not to like her.

girls doing sports ads.

they are def smoking something over in amsterdam (did you get that joke). But I do like the spot. It's wierd for all the right reasons. This is part of the Nike women campaign. Enjoy the randomness.

I really like this one too. 
 

Agency: Wieden+Kennedy, Amsterdam.

when journalist attack!

forget grizzly bears, sharks and evil squirrels giving you the eye...Gibson eats poor Palin alive.

"...It does not matter that Sarah Palin is a moron. As long as these fancy-pants old men keep making her look like a moron, she’s going to win over voters. They may not quite know why, but they’ll find themselves rooting for her. Could this approach ever work with Hillary? No, it could not. Because Hillary Clinton is competent. Would it work on a male VP candidate who was equally ill-informed? No. We expect men to be competent. The selection of Sarah Palin as VP candidate has absolutely nothing to do with feminism. It’s just the opposite. It’s about playing on our natural inclination to expect less from women. It’s gross..."

- interesting POV from gossip blogger  evilbeet.

killer look.

Here's some more fashion meets art finished in a blistering political/cultural statment. Fashion...will be the death of us? Damn...Im good. Maybe I should be an art gallery person. Like a judger (pretty sure this is not a word). And write column reviews in the NY Times. I'll have to put that on my list of things to do.

What do you think?
