A couple of things I’ve been working on over the last couple of days… Try not to judge me by my Hulk, didn’t work out quite right.

Fuck these patriarchal beauty standards”. I hear you loud and clear, but women wearing pink and glitter and heels are not the enemy. And believe it or not, a whole bunch of women LIKE wearing that shit. We are not dumb, less feminist or watered down because of it. A long time ago when I was in undergrad I walked up to my feminist friends sitting in the grass and they started talking about my pink backless shirt and how their own clothes weren’t so “cutesy,” then it got awkward so I left and one of them said “see you later Blossom”. Do you remember that show? I loved it. But that’s not the point. The point is that my “friend” snuck a little snide comment in front of all our other friends simply because I like dressing up. And that was at least 8 years ago and I still remember everything about that day. Feminism is not about laughing at other girls and making them feel insecure. Especially over something as trivial as clothes. Remember you are pro-choice. Respect my choice to wear booty shorts.

I ran across this photo earlier this week on Pinterest, and I felt like I had to share. We don’t often see images of mature women in our culture, much less mature women in lingerie. It really is a disservice. After all, should women stop feeling good about themselves once they’re past the age of 30?

College Girls is a light cultural history of women’s higher education in the US. Organized by topic rather than chronologically, the book focuses on how dating, fashion, and wifely expectations impacted the lives of college girls from the 1830s through the 1960s. A good mix of colleges are represented, from land grant colleges to historically black universities, but particular attention is paid to the seven sisters as both models for later programs and havens of wacky traditions.
Tumblr loves vintage images of women from the 1920s-1960s, but there isn’t a lot of information about what life was like for those women. I think this weighty tome (over 400 pages) would be particularly enjoyed by those who have daydreamed about being a stylish co-ed back in the day. Partly for the fashion information and cute traditions, but also to better understand the downsides of life as a Victorian lady, flapper, or bobbysoxer.

STICKERS!
Inspired by Miss James’ recent flurry of journalesque posts I am considering actually writing about my life on here, rather than just reblogging the sh*t out of my dash.
So, today I dragged myself out of bed at idiot O’clock and went to uni for 9, learnt about James Baldwin who was quite frankly a badass, and came home again! I’m having an epic clean and doing masses of washing, and then going for a brisk(ish) walk to le high street to post a letter to the aforementioned Miss James containing an awesome sticker, which I hope she will love! Stickers are amazing, and so are letters, postcards and all other kinds of physical (as opposed to online/text messagual) communication! I am making it my aim to write a letter or send a card at least 3 times a month! Speaking of which, note to self: buy and send birthday cards!
Now I must bid thee adieu, as Victoir is summoning me to the walking and the posting and the stuff of stuff.
Adieu!
Oh amen sister, amen!
