Assuming its still the same as when I was in school you just stop singing the anthem in Grade 7 and just stand there with your thoughts, and if you ever attend a sporting event you just follow along with the words on the scoreboard.

Read a chilling story today about this case. The cops had him under surveillance since Oct while they gathered more evidence and only moved on him last week because they saw a young man entering his apartment. When they kicked the door in the young man was tied to the bed.

Someone please watch and tell me every single thing that happens. I can read plot synopses on Wikipedia for horror films (Inside, Martyrs, A Serbian Film, etc) but I never ever want to actually watch them. But I need to know what happens in it.

Oh shut the fuck up with that “women of a certain age” bullshit.

Right. I just posed the question because I wonder why this person is congratulated for any reason. She came clean about rapes she knew about. How is she different than anyone from Penn State or MSU? I guess that was my main point...her sudden surge in morality doesn’t deserve much recognition.

No one is asking you to call her a hero, but she is confirming something that the modeling agencies have been denying for years. Something like this could help hold an agency criminally negligent or at the very least, help them change their policies so they look less bad when held up for public scrutiny. The world is…

How responsible are the fashion media? Seems like if Anna Wintour said that they would no longer publish photos, in advertisements or editorial pieces, of children (or of walking skeletons, for that matter) in Vogue then that could certainly change things. I imagine other publications would follow right along.

I think when the dam breaks and the stories come out about the modeling world, it will be 100ox worse than the stories we heard in Hollywood. I think that because the girls in the modeling world are so young and a lot of them are sent to countries where they don’t know anyone and don’t speak the language. They are…

This seems like the problem to me. Once the powers that be at Revlon have decided that a $20 million contract (to use the example from the excerpt quoted above) will be shot by Terry Richardson, a known abuser, then the horse is already out of the barn.

We put the girls into a cage with hungry wolves but we gave them a rape whistle so they’ll be okay.

Fashion modeling is an industry where powerful and influential middle aged men hang out with teenage girls all day. What could possibly go wrong?

May be not “points” but if she’s taking action to actually change the abuse she knows exists, which it appears she’s trying to do, then she’s at least worth listening to. It’s pretty easy to point fingers from the cheap seats, but many people across all industries enable abusive behavior by their lack of action, if…

on the one hand, no, you shouldn’t get a cookie for doing the basic, human thing. on the other hand, admitting you’ve done something wrong is literally the first step to fixing a problem, so it is important that people do it and we recognize it.

People treating these jobs like golden tickets is a real problem. You’re supposed to be grateful you got this honor. Anyone else would be so happy just for the opportunity. If you want to get ahead, this is what you have to do, there’s no other way, why are you being so difficult? If you’re too fragile to handle it,…

Although this will never stop creepers from being creepy- there’s an intrinsic problem within the entire modeling industry. Girls at 14 or 15 are modeling clothes advertised to women in their 30s and 40s- there’s something so fundamentally fucked about that. I did some modeling in my early teens and I can tell you…

I think we would try not to work with a lot of those photographers if we heard problems.

LOL. “CALL ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING UNTOWARD”. Yes, dear 16 year old, tell me if a 45 year old jabba the hut scroat-face who weighs 200 pounds more than you and could kill you, rams your mouth down over his penis! We will send an angry letter (also you’ll never work again). Good luck in therapy for the rest of your…

One thing I’ve learned in the past week is that one of the more subtle yet insidious abuses of power is their continued insistence that they be the ones to “fix” things. On their terms, always on their terms.

I would totally wear the silver jumpsuit/dress thing. Everything else, no, but I will give the entire collection a pass on the strength of that garment alone.
