<br />
hey beautiful<br />
<br />
down the street<br />
i catch your eye<br />
i lose it<br />
your eyes graze me<br />
gazing at me<br />
get off me<br />
how dare you<br />
don't call me beautiful<br />
your beauty is not me<br />
i am not my body<br />
i am much more<br />
i am pain<br />
joy<br />
love<br />
hate<br />
i am beautiful<br />
but not for you<br />

as romanticised as that may sound, it is not without its own thorns. sure, you can write anything. anyone can. but to really write? to feel pent up emotion pouring angrily onto paper, to stare emptily at a blank page, to smile at languid letters and know they hold so much more than words... that is real. it doesnt have to get published, it doesnt need to follow proper structure, it doesnt matter if no one "gets it", or if no one ever reads it at all.<br />
you wrote.<br />
and you continue to write because of it. and that is all you need.<br />
<br />

floppy lengths of fabric hanging off the tip of each foot, like deflated hot air ballons. like flaccid udders soaked in gym sweat. what <em>is</em> that?! and more importantly, why?!? the part of the garment named the 'toe', is supposed to rest flush against your TOES. the end of the sock exists for a reason. would you pull your mittens on only up to your knuckles? probably not (and if you do, can i ask how you deal with cold palms?) so why the podiatric colostomy bag? <br />
i will never understand. the very image makes me cringe, so i try to avoid the thought as much as possible. <br />
recently, however, i havent been able to get droopy socks off my mind. <br />
i had a mini epiphany. <br />

before you scream <strong>you bloody hypocrite</strong>, please allow me to explain. <br />
the gates of heaven opened up and shone glorious light upon the once-despised garment. imagine not a limp footless sack, but a slouchy pair of calf-highs rumpled down around the ankle. <br />
thick or thin, knit, silk, neon, lace, cotton; anything goes. <br />
it's a laidback look with a childlike playfulness to it. <br />
but not like children who run amok with bedraggled used-condom socks. <br />
because that is <strong>NOT </strong>okay. ever. i hate that. <br />
(but please, three cheers for second chances.)<br />

last week, i went to buy some coffee cream and bagels, and i left the grocery store with an adorable striped dress in hand. it was only $14, how could i resist? the baby blue and pink color scheme with a twirly chiffon skirt was unbearably cute, as much of joe fresh' designs are. <br />
last week, a bangladesh clothing factory exploded, killing over 377 people and leaving thousands more wounded. three of the building's floors were illegally built which caused the building to collapse. four days later, as officials dug through rubble to get to a trapped woman, the remnants exploded with fire. since then rescue efforts have waned significantly.<br />
the death toll is expected to hit nearly 1,400 people, as many are still missing - and presumed dead.<br />

last year, a fire broke out in dhaka, at the 'tazreen fashions' garment factory. 111 people were left to burn alive because the building was not equipped with sufficient exits. workers bottlenecked at the doorways as the nine-storey factory collapsed. <br />

more than 500 people have died due to factory fires since 2006, a number that is staggering considering the astronomical amount of money that is filtered into the fashion industry. the distribution of the funds, however, is based on profitability. it is not groundbreaking news that mega corporations are mainly focused on lowering production cost to increase profit margins, and the wellbeing of their third world employees is a mere afterthought, if at all. <br />
the dirty secret of big names like nike and tommy hilfiger isn't so clandestine anymore, yet they are continuing to create and maintain unsafe work conditions at the cost of so many lives. because we pay them. we, as naive and mindless consumers, are fuelling sweatshops with our money. ignorance is bliss, and the distance from 1st to 3rd world is enough to keep us smiling and spending at forever21. <br />

it's often difficult to glean the good from the bad, the sustainable from the sinister.<br />
im not preaching, nor am i condemning those who purchase the brands i mentioned above. i own nike running shoes. im wearing that striped dress from loblaws right now. but being conscious of what we are <em>actually </em>paying for when we purchase clothing, especially from fast fashion chains, is important. <br />
buy local, buy vintage, buy secondhand, buy handmade, buy sustainable. <br />
be aware of what the cost truly is. <br />

i guess they could be likened to the outcome of the imagined scenario of henry david thoreau joining the inglourious basterds.<br />

<br />
it has been described (ad nauseum) as a "fever dream" of sex, drugs, dubstep and disney. to me that sounds like a visual-heavy sofia coppola movie steeped in dirty teen debacles. cool. the soundtrack, consisting primarily of gucci mane and supplemented by 181 bpm club tracks, fits perfectly with the adolescent beaching and boozing. <br />
my main qualm, which has been biting at me like a mosquito, is the casting. not with regard to their acting chops, but because of their reputation. there are no wizards of waverly place here, but instead gun-toting babes in neon bikinis and balaclavas. enticing young girls to see the movie via teenybopper faves such as selena gomez and vanessa hudgens strikes me as sleazy. <br />also, the fact that harmony's wife plays a main role (aaron spelling-esque nepotism, anyone?) leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.<br />
at a surface level, i do enjoy the concept of the movie: good girls in keds and baby pink, bored of their bedsets and books, get swept up by the over-indulgent whirlpool of spring break debauchery. i love the aesthetics of the film; the naivete of the girls' outfits juxtaposed with the grimy underbelly of the beach noir scene. a belligerent candy-coloured binge. an arcade game of girls gone wild. <br />but we shouldn't dismiss the notion that girls will want to emulate the main characters, and by casting actresses that are already considered role models for little hannah montanas (dont get me started on that) across north america, we are essentially telling these malleable kids that getting "white girl wasted" and eliminating all inhibitions is key to growing up. <br />
not to mention that it reinforces the bitch and the ditz dichotomy that feminism has been faced with. for girls to get ahead, they've either got to be hardasses or princesses. either be the man, or attract the man. in korine's "spring breakers", the girls play both sides, scantily clad sex symbols running rampant in the drug dealing scene. they are never truly in control, as they may believe, but always at the hand of the men who lured them into the seedy realm in the first place. <br />
the hypersexualization of these disney teen stars serves as a creepy middle-aged man's wet dream, and distorts a young girl's idea of how to behave as an 'adult'. that it is touted as a coming-of-age story really doesnt resonate with me, and i personally think that had this movie been spun differently - perhaps with less potentially pedophilic porn material - it could have been just as iconic as 'kids' was. but instead, it falls short and reminds me of facebook indulgence and high school parties with people i never wanted to hang out with.<br />

(sidenote: what the fuck photoshop? for a movie that is supposed to be so 'raw', you made certain that the posters were as far from real as possible ..... was selena's chest too tiny? was rachel's stomach not flat as a washboard? fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. their bodies are bodies. not subliminal marketing tools for your twisted ideals.)jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11926101933960804832noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497549190212590873.post-52251775288206891282013-03-21T20:04:00.000-07:002013-03-21T20:04:42.144-07:00evening march<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

winter has managed to persist long enough to dig its snowy claws in one last time before spring hits. <br />
fortunately for me (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), i am <em>always</em> cold, therefore i always have thick sweaters and layers on hand. <br />
so there, winter.<br />

so somehow i lost my wayfarers again, but they werent stolen from my purse like last time, so i have no one to blame but myself. boo. im almost more devastated about losing the case: it was printed with a kitten's face whose mouth was plastered with a vans "off the wall" sticker. yeah, badass. <br />
in an attempt to console my lonely eyes, i made these little guys to serve as an interim pair until i get proper ones. <br />

can't i just wear outlandish neon outfits and paint my hair like diwali smoke bomb celebrations ? is that not okay for everyday life ? i guess maybe only if youre a super-hip it-model of the moment, like <em>chloe norgaard</em>, and not just a waitress. <br />
the last time i had blue hair, a customer complained that she was embarassed to have me serve her. i was embarassed too, but mostly because no one should wear dark lipliner without lipstick while sporting a free tshirt out of a twofour of labatt's blue. also, m'am, those bleached jeans that look like you sat in a powdered doughnut do nothing for your 52-year old ass.<br />
ill stick with my crazy brights, thank you very much.<br />
enjoy your smoker's wrinkles and pleather stiletto boots, ms 2-eggs-over-easy-extra-bacon. <br />
ps your tramp stamp is showing. <em>how embarassing!</em><br />
