Co-opted and Commodified

I’m going to call this out and say this looks like a corporate stunt, looking to mooch publicity off of the “controversy” of “street art” (all quotes specifically intended).

I personally approve of making dough off of anything. Especially street art. Co-opt to the max. But I’m also pretty broke and would just like the money.

[ed. note- just realized this is outside a gallery in Paris. Same thing, all of the above still applies.]

Wackness: Plus Size Model?

I can’t seem to escape it and I keep hearing praise over and over for Ralph Lauren (finally) hiring a plus size model. So I’m going to address it.
Really?
I put this in the “Oh I’m native cuz i’ve got 1/32 Cherokee in me” category. Curvy maybe, but applauding RL like he’s a champion of feminism and the female body image is (pun) stretching it. C’mon now. Stop it.
