Ladies: Hear Mo Roar!

April 9, 2015

On Tuesday I wrote about Tess Holliday, the plus-size model who is shorter and larger than the industry’s standard “plus-size” models.

In which Mo starts to find her voice again

April 7, 2015

As I wrote in my (long overdue) April 1st post, I began to find some writing inspiration last year. It wasn’t until this past January, however, that I started to get angry. Now as someone who studied journalism, public relations and marketing/advertising extensively, I know exactly what agenda setting is (thank you, Dr. Meiss). Agenda setting is […]

This Slut Votes.

I think in the past two years, Planned Parenthood has been in the news almost as much as they were in the 90s.

“To Market, To Market To Buy A Fat Pig”

May 12, 2011

Does anyone else recall this nursery rhyme or is it just one of the thousand useless trivia bits rolling around my head? Anyways…. If you recall a few months back, I had started what I was referring to as my "Weekend Guide." And then I can kind of let my guide… slide. Well, it's back. […]
