So I just agree with Leenie (the owner of the Fall Out Boy fansite Hopelessly Hopeful) to be a co-web!!! This makes me sooo happy! And she linked to RSC and my blog on HH so that has to equal a good 15 million unique hits. Thanks so much to HH for accepting me!
There is no quote of the day just because today is my mothers birthday! I’m going to use this space to once again say happy birthday mother!
So I’ve been hearing a lot of stuff about this ad for Lane Bryant that FOX and ABC refuses to air. It features a woman named Ashley Graham who is a real woman, with real curves in lingerie. Here’s the ad:
So yeah, she looks like a lot of the other girls in a lot of other ads, half naked with a clean airbrushed “perfect” look. So then why was the ad banned? It’s not like she looks COMPLETELY naked or anything. FOX said some mess about there being too much cleavage on a news commercial I saw, but seriously? This is just a bunch of prejudice against people with an actual figure. I personally think that she looks just like all the other girls in all those other ads where everyone is half naked. The only difference is that she’s got a little more to offer.
In response to this, Graham stated that she felt the whole thing was “sad” and compared her ad to the ads from Victoria’s Secret.
I agree with her completely, you all just need to calm down because this is what real women look like.
Quote of the Day: ‘The Victoria’s Secret girls can flaunt around their panties all day long. But when there’s a bigger woman with a little bit extra, they snipped it out immediately.’ -Ashley Graham
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we’ve got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I’ve always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had[ve] sworn to myself that I’m content
With loneliness
Because none of it was [is] ever worth the risk
So everyone seems to be all concerned about how stressed out I’ve been lately. My English teacher feels like if I don’t relax soon I’ll have a nervous breakdown. My mom is concerned that my teacher is concerned because if my teacher is concerned then I must really have a problem. I’ve been told by people that I never look happy anymore. I didn’t realize how many people noticed it.
But really, all of this is inevitable. I’ve got to:
prepare for Regents (I have to take extra Regents to graduate on time)
prepare for SAT’s
apply for 15 million scholarships
continue my college search
continue to go to my after school clubs which look good on a college application
continue to go to PT (physical therapy)
try and stay in touch with all my friends from Florida
