"Dance fighting" also works for fending off creepers who try to grind on you! When you feel a creeper start to get up on your butt/boobs/whatever, you pretend to be a No. 1 (as above) and start dancing around while whipping your hair back and forth like a whip (this works best with long hair in a ponytail).
I thought up the perfect solution for this a few years ago at a Girl Talk concert! When you feel a creeper start to get up on your butt/boobs/whatever, you pretend to be a No. 1 (as above) and start dancing around while whipping your hair back and forth like a whip.
Aw, I actually really like Leslie Mann! I find her super gorgeous and very funny (her humor just...gets me). Also, I like her WAY better when she's not in yet another Judd Apatow vehicle.
But…wasn't the point of this that people can be attractive even when they aren't "conventionally attractive?" So, if commenters say that they find her (or him) attractive, they're just interacting with the work as the artist intended?
"Movie fat" is the perfect way to describe it! As in, few people would call me fat in real life, but in movies or TV I'd def be the "fat sidekick" character. I think this roughly includes women in the range between sizes 4-10 (depending on height and whatnot).
For most of the ones that I correctly guessed were "fashion," the only reason I got it right was because their unoriginal Terry Richardson over-lit aesthetic. He may not be a creative photographer, or even a good one, but he's certainly established a "brand" for himself.
On a related note, I came across this interesting body image website and I felt like you Jezebels would enjoy it. I actually tried to post it to Groupthink (first time I've ever tried to post something there), but I had no idea that getting posting privileges on GT was such an inordinately arduous process! O-deck on…
Well that's just terrible. Also, Ganesha pasties??!
Wikiwat's first paragraph is relevant, but here's what I would say to your comment based on current Employment Law. Keep in mind, this is a huge area of law, and as it relates to off-the-job privacy rights for employees, it's highly variable based on the state.
While I think you're probably coming from a good place with your comment, I also think that you're kind of cherry-picking from "the good ol' days." I think that there have always been certain comments and/or topics that would make people reasonably expect to lose their jobs for saying them—those comments and topics…
Right! I think it all boils down to: 1) You have a right to free speech; you don't have the "right" to have a job; and 2) employers are just as free as individual people to express their opinions on people and/or comments, and their opinions may be expressed in the form of "I choose not to associate with/employ you…
I actually implored one woman to do a 5-second Google search on the matter, or hey, go crazy and pick up a book! All I got was something along the lines of "I don't believe a word you're saying! Go google yourself and I'm gonna go watch Duck Dynasty!" I just…ugh.
Yep, there was a good helping of racism thrown in comments I saw as well. People are just so rage-inducingly dense sometimes!
