Barenaked ladies

Plus Model magazine ran an intentionally controversial pictorial in their January 2012 issue titled "What's Wrong with Our Bodies Anyway?"  The pictorial is designed to elicit shock and raise questions for the viewer.  Most of the images are gorgeous.  Here are two of the most lovely:


Katya Zharkova

Then there were two images that featured the plus-sized model alongside a so-called "straight-sized" model.  I'm not sure what I think about these.  They do highlight just how pre-adolescent and tiny the smaller model looks.  However, I'm not sure how I feel about comparing women's bodies in this way.  I also can't help but note the faux lesbianism in the posing, and the fact that the smaller model has her face completely obscured in each photo, which is a form of objectification.  These things strike me as a bit unnecessary, possibly creepy, and ultimately distracting from the points they were trying to make.  The photos below lack the joy of the ones above.  What do you think?  Progress or not?

One Sexy Beaver

If you ever find yourself in Lewis, New York be sure to check out Betty Beaver's Truck Stop and Diner.  They deserve your patronage for the sheer art that is their sign.  I bet they had to pay extra to make it 3D, but it was worth it.  That is one sexy beaver!

A discrete, fashion-forward solution for your feminine needs

Here's another tool to improve your sexual health from the good Dr. Leonard's catalog.  The description below the photo says:  "This rose ring is a wearable tickler massager, sure to start a buzz...Discreet.."  Discreet?!  It looks like you have an uncircumcised lil' smokie shoved in that thing!   




I'll give you a dolla' if you wear one in public, though.

How badass is that?

Uterus belt buckle by Meckanism on Etsty.

While perusing etsy I came across this super-cool belt-buckle.   It is sadly no longer available.  I can't say I'd actually wear it, but I think that if I had some kind of badass, feminist, super-hero alter-ego I would rock it hard. 

Now what I really want is a little bronze uterus to hang off the back of my pick-up truck.  Once I find it, I'll have to buy a pick-up truck, but it will be worth it!

Beach Body Battle?


Dear Fox News,
I'm willing to cut you some slack for being right-leaning.  It's not like everyone is unaware of it despite how much you claim to be unbiased.  But do you really need to have bikini girl articles?  Last time I checked we lived in a world where there was a shit-tastic economy, an upcoming presidential election, the ongoing war on terror, escalating tension with Iran, and worries about the new ruler of North Korea.  Are you really so hard up for material that you need to come up with utter crap like this?  Hell, if you just needed to fill space you could publish an articles about Beyonce's new baby or whatever the hell Lady Gaga wore yesterday.  Instead we get an article that pits two women against one another in an imaginary battle over who is more attractive.  It's so offensive and unnecessary.  Not to mention the fact that the under-side-boob combo is not doing Christina any favors.  I just want her to reach in there and adjust that thing.  Girl, if it don't lift, don't wear it!  And as for you, Fox News, stick to the news, buttholes!

Seriously, Though, Rape is Hilarious!

Yesterday when I wrote the post about changing the definition of rape, I decided to Google the word "rape" and hit the images button.  Yeah, I know.  That was dumb.  It got me looking at some of the shitty rape memes.  I'll grudgingly admit that some memes do strike me as pretty funny (Conspiracy Keanu, Ancient Aliens, Good Guy Greg, Ordinary Muslim Man).  But memes also seem to pull for some of the worst in humanity.  The racists, sexists and plain old pervs seem to have no problem revealing their true stripes anonymously online, under the guise of "humor."   Here are some not-so-witty versions of demotivational posters. 

This is from the hallowed halls of ebaums's world. 


No, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't, Cletus.  If you wanted to make a joke about this photo, you should focus on the shirtless, Robin Hood-booted, acid-washed jean wearing fool in the background.  Rape is usually one of the last things you want to go for when you are trying to be funny.


Here's a master work that combines sexism with particularly disgusting racism.  Really?

You are all rockin' the flip-phones, though!



Here's one that pokes fun at what we all know to be true.  Date rape isn't real rape!


Like I said, rape is hilarious!  It's a victimless crime, really.
