love it. what's worse, in my opinion, is that i see the archetype of the skinny white girl used not only in fashion magazines, but also masqueraded as indie art that we see roblogged over and over on sites like tumblr. With ads in magazines, there is a blatant objective-- and that is to sell you a product, in this case through the means of sex. When this body ideal manifests itself in the non-monetized realms of 'hip' art, it reveals how deeply this ideal has penetrated into our society. It's now our input (through magazine ads) /and/ our output- (the art we create)-- apparently, it's all we claim to know. In other words, i'm really fucking sick of seeing lomo photos of naked, waify girls sitting in the middle of a field, and it being considered the art of our generation. /rant
yup, and Etsy models are all tiny, and they stick clothespins on the larger clothes they're trying to sell to get them to look tiny. and all the fashion blogs only have pictures of skinny people.
except for Hel Looks. Hel Looks rules and has different ages and body types and styles and it's the best website ever and it makes me happy. /ramble
Do you realise how much of the past few days I have spent looking through Hel Looks? Because it is A LOT. It didn't even click that the "Hel" part stood for Helsinki. Finland! Clothes! Real people! I love it, thank you <3
