Blame the models?
Read the above t-shirt. Insert: outrage? Model Kate Moss is best known for her waif-like body. The other thing she’s known for is this statement “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. She said it years ago and outrage ensued. It’s a stupid statement that got even more attention because of peoples reaction to it. […] Read more…
Writer’s Workshop – You Oughta Know

If I had a little girl…

The creative director of J. Crew, Jenna Lyons, is dealing with a swell of controversy for this picture with her son […] Read more…
Writer’s Workshop – My Bag, My Life
For the last few weeks I haven’t been a part of Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop. What was I thinking?!? Well, now I’m back at it and taking a stab of one of this weeks prompts: What do the contents of your handbag/purse “say” about you? If you took a peek in my purse you might […] Read more…
Hey You
