    Valli is my favorite designer (this week). His quote just solidified my love of him.
    Oh, and it's good to see Jenna writing again.

    Or, if an actress wants to be an apparel designer, she could go to design school or apprentice or learn to sew or drape.

    God, I am still reeling from that collection.

    I think her expression in that photo is adorbs with the dress. It works in context. (and isn't considered tacky to not wear the designers clothes to the show if you're one of the invited celebrities?)

    Wait- is she asserting that this is "patriarchal and heteronormative" or is she just quoting someone who said it?


    I think there's a weird tension, in American discussions of the middle east, between feminism and Islamophobia. I'm glad to hear somebody talking about it-- I came up with this while writing a research paper last semester and have kept my eyes open for further reading ever since.

    I'm not really comfortable with the assumption that every Muslim is all bad, all the time.


    Perhaps some Muslim men really do love their wives? Perhaps not every Muslim is an extremist?

    @sarah0220: I got the gist from the quoted material that the writer (not Sadie) thought all the women were buying lingerie for patriarchal reasons.


    I don't liek the assumption that all Muslim women (and not everyone makes this assumption, but it seems to be the overarching theme of almost every story I read about Muslim women) that every Muslim marriage is all horrible patriarchal cruelty all the time.


    I'm not saying I think that. I;m sorry if I wasn't clear.

    @HannahBethD: I get what you're saying, and I completely agree.


    I think, though, that most of these assumptions about Muslims, not even just about marriage but about anything, come from major misunderstandings that exist about Islam and the Middle East and Muslim culture.

    Also, I hope I didn't come off brash, it was one of those comments where you write exactly what you're thinking at that exact second and hit submit before you can smooth the edges.

    There's a danger to Westernizing too much of the Middle East, but if "sexy" turns into "confident" like we've seen over here, I can't imagine that wouldn't be a bad thing.


    The patriarchy is sickening. I say that as a dude.

    It was innocent enough - I was about 8 or 9 and trying to, I dunno, punch out the cutouts in a Fruit Rollup using only my face, and I managed to get it stuck pretty inextricably in my hair. Mom did her best, but scissors ultimately had to be involved.
