I wanted a magazine that "happened" to feature plus size fashion rather than obsessing about size on every page. Society scrutinizes that enough for us, without making a whole magazine about it.
magazines
porn
I thought reviewing porn as a young, educated, fairly vanilla woman would be exciting. Not glamorous, exactly, but certainly more Bohemian than waiting tables.
boobs
When people discover where I work, they often ask “Would you let your daughter become a topless model?"
ageism
Next time you get dressed, be sure to ask yourself, "What would Helen wear?"
fashion
Sometimes I feel embarrassed by the very thing I've spent over half my life obsessing about.
body acceptance
The iconic teen magazine has agreed "not to alter body sizes or face shapes of young women featured in its editorial pages," and will discuss the pledge in more detail in the August issue.
body image
I don't know that we can exclusively blame magazines for making women hate their bodies. (Although they certainly don't often help.)
family
Where else are you supposed to go to hear stories about one-room schoolhouses and exploding corsets when all your grandparents are gone?
magazines
Publications aimed at young women still pick at the same insecurities they did in 1939.
magazines
One endorsement and one DE-endorsement.
fall fashion
6 items I am literally obsessing about getting for fall.
diy
Waste not, want not, that's what I have never before but certainly could start saying.
harper's bazaar australia
Because no look is complete without faceless dudes groping you.
