Weddings aren’t cheap, and neither are wedding dresses. Now, I have a friend who happened upon her wedding dress at a Goodwill store for cheap, but otherwise they can get expensive quickly. When my mom got remarried she found a bridesmaid dress she liked better than any wedding dress she tried on, and it was [...]
I chose not to have a picture for this post – read on to find out why! Women in politics face many challenges, not least of which is how they negotiate their representations in the public eye. One of the particular problems I’ve noticed is that aspects of women’s identities, ranging from how they dress [...]

Jeana‘s post A Photo Gallery of Normal Breasts reminded me of this great post on Jezebel that is a little old, but fits right in with our breast theme week here on MSP.

Body art topics range from the more sensational–tattoos, corsetry, piercings–to the mundane: clothing (everyday and special occasion), hair styles, facial hair, and jewelry. Studying the body art of a given time period, culture, [...]

Now, they are mostly considered an attractive form of outerwear. I think they’re usually absolutely gorgeous but also complicated as far as clothing goes. Here’s a brief overview of the [...]
I’ve always been a bit of a sex kitten. I ooze sexuality from every pore of my body. I was never ashamed of it. And while I’ve had body image issues just like every other woman on the planet, I could ignore all of them when in sexy mode. I always enjoyed wearing sexy clothes/lingerie [...]
