I’ve heard lots of people debate the relative hotness of the various male characters, but never to the detriment of those characters, whereas practically every mention of Widow’s/Johansson’s legendary sex-appeal is accompanied by some kind of snide implication that it’s the main reason for her presence in the movie. If you want to be really annoyed, take a gander at this moment in the Avengers press tour (around 3 minutes in), which says a lot about the kind of questions actresses habitually have to answer when promoting their films. While Robert Downey Jr gets a complex question about characterisation, Johansson gets asked what she ate in preparation for her role. Black Widow isn’t just a body. Scarlett Johansson isn’t just a body. — The costumes and characters of The Avengers: Black Widow and Hawkeye.

Exclusive: The Devil Wears Prada is getting a sequel!
Okay, it’s a sequel to the book, not the movie — but we’re still excited. Revenge Wears Prada will pick up eight years after Andy parted ways with Miranda. Andy is now editing The Plunge, the hottest bridal magazine around, alongside Emily, her one-time Runway nemesis turned current BFF. While Andy is planning her own wedding to Max, a handsome media scion, she remains haunted by her impeccably heeled former boss — and the magazine world being as small as it is, it’s only a matter of time before she hears the dreaded syllables “Ahn-dre-ah!” again.
I wasn’t the hugest fan of the book, but it’s honestly kinda dumb that she’s the editor of a bridal magazine. She left Runway because she wanted to be a *serious journalist* writing about real stuff, so we’re supposed to believe she changed her life’s goal and went back to fluffy magazines? Hrrm. And why does she have a new love interest.
These translucent dresses are an excellent representation of what Erdem does best: taking traditional elements of womenswear design and twisting them ever-so-slightly so they become subtly daring and weird without quite leaving the trad/femme comfort zone. With most other designers that kind of description wouldn’t be a compliment (from me, anyway), but Erdem’s attention to detail means that even his simplest of designs seem to have some aspect of sharp strangeness to them. — from Erdem: 2013 Resort Collection, at Hello, Tailor.
fuck the patriarchy
i get that this is a fluff site but it’s still sickening how prominent and accepted this is in our culture. this shit is the front news article of yahoo!, what is that supposed to communicate to women?!
That our bodies serve a specific purpose, and it is the viewing pleasure of men. Obviously, you should be picking your swimsuit based on the male gaze and not on, y’know, what makes you feel happy and good about yourself.
“A few even compared the concept as being synonymous to men wearing T-shirts in the pool.”
Get it? ‘Cuz men are ENTITLED to look at and judge our nearly naked bodies, so tankinis are CHEATING.
In related news, all the men who participated in this survey met afterwards to drink Jaeger bombs and high five each other while yelling “No fatties!”, where they were all murdered by an unknown 6’1” blonde assailant wearing a t-shirt saying “MISANDRY 4 LIFE”.
OH GOODIE, I don’t think women as a whole were concerned enough about what they looked like in a swimsuit. It’s been at least 30 seconds since I’ve seen an ad referencing the phrase “bikini body” so obviously the patriarchy needs to work harder.
This painting was done with a combination of 1.) my desire to experiment with as many fucking brushes as possible, and 2.) my unending lust for this incredible Loki figurine that I’m still trying to talk myself out of blowing $200 on. Does someone want to buy it for me? I’ll give you all the Loki arts in the entire world.
