Start Changing Things NOW!

This isn't a proper post, as I won't be debating anything with myself. Instead, what I'm doing is a...

CAMPAIGN!!!!!
OK, so a while ago I wrote a letter to Teen Vogue to start making their models more real. Then I thought...why don't YOU?!?!?! So, I want every single person who reads this blog to go to your room, find every glossy magazine you read, find the address to send emails/letters to and GO DO IT!
Tips:

• Don't make it too long.
• Stress your points. Say that you want them to stop showing airbrushed, aneroxic made-up girls and start showing real girls.
• Make the point that YOU are their target audience, so they'd better take notice!

Oh, and mention you're part of a campaign on this blog, dontcha? The aim is to get just 100 letters out there. Think how little that is! If one person can make a difference, how about a 100?

Once you've done that, send me a email telling me what points you made. Come on---one little email can be part of something big.

21st Century Feminist

I think it's time for a new definition of feminist. Here's a few things that I think a 21st century feminist should do...

1. Feminists CAN wear lipgloss! And high-heels...And push-up bras...
2. Sure, shopping is fun, but feminists must pay for their Manolo Blahniks themselves, not with daddy's credit card.
3. Feminists do not I repeat, not wear Playboy jewellery. Why would you wear that?! (And don't give me guff about a woman being head of the womens Playboy thingy. She's just a idiot.)
4. Just because you're a feminist doesn't mean you can't love boys. Excuse me, I've got to stare at Jonny Depp...

Beauty and the Geek

Even though I hate reality TV, I've gotten addicted to Beauty and the Geek. Mainly because I'm so disgusted by it.
I mean, why do you have to choose between looking pretty and being clever?
I'd like to think I'm quite pretty, but I'm also one of the top in my class.
What I've noticved in my school is that the popular pretty girls just don't do well in school. Is it because blondes are dumb or is it something more deep---they're afraid to be clever?
I know I'd probably be made a scapegoat for bullying if I let it happen. Instead, I use having a brain to my advantage. After all, would you even be reading this blog if it wasn't for my computer skills? And it's not just blogs I do this with. After all, why be good with maths if you can't have fun with it?
I mean, I suppose you could call me a geek, but has that stopped me from having friends? Uh, no. See, if someone starts trying to bully you, why not throw a few big words in their faces?

But why is it seemingly so bad to be clever?
Why do so many girls rely on their looks so much?
Is it because they automatically fall into a sterotype? They're afraid to put their hands up in class because they'll seem geeky?
Which brings me back to the TV programme that started this.
See, they're reinforcing my point. They've said they rely on their looks. They've said they don't want to seem geeky.
But, persoanally, I think it's time to start being a bimbo with brains. So, stand up and let your brain be heard! We've really got to STOP thinking as clever as geeky, and start thinking it as another string on your mascara bursh.
Now, I'm off to do my homework.
Right after I finish my hair.

Can Feminists Wear Lipgloss?

Can they? I've been wondering for a while. On one hand, it it makes you feel good, why not? And on the other hand, does it lie deeper then that? Is it about giving money to some coperation so you can feel good? I'm a feminist, but I want to wear lipgloss. I mean, when have you ever heard of a feminist who loved shopping?!
Is there such a thing? Can you?
If you want to be a feminist, can you still shop, wear make-up, swoon over boys, wear a push-up bra?
Can you wear high heels, spend your time reading magazines?
Can you study articles about how to get the perfect pout?
Or are feminists not allowed?
I've been thinking about it for a while. Should you have to choose between your lipgloss and your convictions?
Do you have to fit into a sterotype, or can you start a new one?
If anyone knows, can you let me know?
