Happy International Men’s Day! Here’s my list of seven ways women can celebrate.

A lot of my Sex+ babes have been sending me Lily Allen’s new music video “Hard Out Here” and asking for a review. So…here are my half baked thoughts.
Let me start by saying that I love that there are fierce female musicians out there creating content that critiques misogyny in the media. At it’s heart, this song is the shit. It slaps, it’s critical, it’s unapologetic and real. Oh, and it makes fun of Robin Thicke.
Why can’t we have more like this? Plz? Pritty plz? I wish it was more common. And for that, I give Lily Allen mad props.
Howeverrrrrr I am in solidarity with the outcry about some issues with the video. Unfortunately, Lily went by the wayside by objectifying black women (a la miley cyrus and iggie azalea). Again and again we see white women using black women as props — there for ass shaking and adding an edgy/sexy vibe in the background.
If you watch the vid, you’ll notice the black women are hyper-sexualized in a way that Lily herself (and the other white/white passing women) are not.

I’m a bit behind on posting buffer festival stuff due to it being almost the end of term and an abundance of assignments but I thought I’d find time to post another set of pictures tonight.
Amanda and I had a lovely time meeting Karen Kavett last weekend! She was actually the first YouTuber we ran into on the street, which was a bit surreal, and we also went to her meetup. I had a really nice time chatting to her (and some of the other people who came to her meetup + volunteers) throughout her meetup. Plus it was fun to be in her video (which you can watch here). She was one of the people I was most looking forward to meeting because I really enjoy her design/crafty videos and she just seems like such a genuinely nice person.
Basically Buffer was awesome and I hope it happens again next year.
Magazine Cover Design for Colour in Context this week!
Thanks to my lovely model Madison!
I just got back from Buffer Festival and put all the footage I took into a new second channel video before I forgot about it. Thanks so much to everyone who came to my meetup!
I’m totally in this! I’m glad you decided to go get timbits! Once again, it was awesome meeting you!
