What is Feminism?
There are so many mixed views on the subject of feminism and what it is, so what to you constitutes as feminism?
In my opinion: I believe that anyone who is against gender inequality and fights towards bettering it is a feminist.
Its not only about becoming equals, its about pride in your gender, sexuality, voice, opinions, ambitions and accomplishments. A stay at home mum who takes pride in her children and home life can be a feminist, as can a woman who owns a business empire that chooses not to have children.
So what do you think?
What constitutes as feminism and being a feminist?
Comment on the post with what you think and...All opinions are welcome, but i understand that the topic of feminism can lead to heated debates... therefore no unnecessarily rude comments regarding people's opinions please.

Celebrity Airbrushing and How It F**k's Societies Perception of Beauty
Why? Just Why?
Even after spending a ton on stylists and make-up artists they still need to be so overly airbrushed that they no longer look like themselves. The people on magazines don't exist - they're just a figment of some editors overly anti-feminist imagination.
Why do magazines flood their pages with articles on 'why women are beautiful just the way they are' and then slap overly edited celebrities on the cover? If i owned a magazine it would feature 'real women' with their naturally uneven skin tones and wobbly bits.
I would much rather buy a dress modeled by a 'non perfect' woman who is proud of her cellulite and chest size and who is not viewed by the public as 'physically perfect.'
Because - Perfection doesn't exist. And if it did, we would all look the same because society and media has forced this definition of perfection into out heads.
I'm sorry Miss Alba... they seem to have edited out your vagina...
I don't agree with the 'Real Women Have Curves' campaign either. You can be a size six and be a woman.
The idea of real women doesn't mean 14+ or curvy. It means embracing your body and all of its flaws no matter what shape or size, being a mum who doesn't see her stretch marks as flaws but sees them as a sign of the birth of their child and the beautiful process of pregnancy and not letting your gender/ body shape stand in the way of anything.
Not only that, but being a woman doesn't solely rely on your body shape... its about who you are inside.
Real Women Are Proud of Who They Are!
So, in the attempt to inspire other women to stand up and accept their beautiful bodies for exactly what they are.... i would like to announce to everyone..
I HAVE CELLULITE, WOBBLY BITS, A BIG NOSE, DIMPLES ON MY BUM, AND SIZE 7 FEET AND IM PROUD TO SAY... I AM ALL WOMAN!
Operation F*Word Needs You!
I need some help..
I need an image/ banner/ logo for my F*E*E*L campaign that has the title in it. It needs to make an impact but be informative as to what the campaign is about, once again for those that don't know F*E*E*L stands for:
Freedom, Equality, Environment & Life.
Its a campaign to raise money and awareness for various charities around the World.
But, i don't own (and even if i did wouldn't know how to use it) Photoshop. So if anyone fancies throwing one together for me then please feel free :) use your name on the image too for recognition as i don't want the credit for something i haven't done.
And as a thank you - i will use the charity of your choice in next months awareness campaign!
So everybody wins :)
Thanks!
F*Word of the Day
Family:
Ok so this one is going to be a little different as i have a very different view as to what constitutes as family.
The dictionary version:
Noun: 1) A group consisting of parents and children living together in a household
2) All the descendants of a common ancestor.
My version:
Noun: 1) People that you want to surround yourself with and share your life with
2) People that are there for you no matter what
3) People that understand you completely, without reason.
In my opinion, family is something you earn.

The Retail Prowl..
My latest fashion task - find red dress.
Not for any reason other than i feel inspired by the Kellogs advertisements. I do believe the little red dress is the new little black dress though.
Personally, the UK isnt bold enough with its high street look. Walking around i see dismal colours of 'throw whatever on' outfits.
Its time to step it up!
What does red symbolise? - Love, Infatuation, Danger, Blood, Power, Money, Confidence, Passion.
What does grey symbolise? - Conservative, Old Age, Maturity, Intelligence.
So why are we still opting for dull colours?
So here are my requirements for the dress - if you think you know of one that fits the bill then let me know, and ill keep you guys updated on the search..
Requirements:
-The 'reddist' shade of red you can find
-Sophisticated and sexy
-Hugs at the waist
-Some detailing but nothing that clashes with the red
-No sleeves
-No longer than to the knee length
-Not too plain
-Doesn't cost a bomb! Im thinking high street not high end designer..
Thanks!
