One woman, famous in Pakistan as an entertainer, stands up to the obvious slut-shaming set up on the January 21st, 2011 interview show she’s on:
So Veena Malik, a pretty lady that doesn’t wear burkas and performs as an actress, was on the Indian show Big Boss, the Indian equivalent to the US’s and the UK’s Big Brother. She is prompted to acknowledge, then agree with or defend against the idea that she wore inappropriate clothing, acted inappropriately towards others on the show, and did nothing to promote Pakistanis or Islam. She gets hit with some Islamic wordy words with no clear reason why she defied any religious law and slams the guy, Mufti Abdul Qavi, right back with how he is not supposed to look at her more than once and is therefore breaking Islamic rule. He says he did not watch the show at all but that ALL of Pakistan thinks she’s a dumb bitch for being on the show and doing the things she did. I don’t know what these things were she is accused of other than being attractive and a nice lady. She calls out the interview mediator on how nobody in the media seems to want to emphasize any of the good she does for her country. He doesn’t say shit.
I don’t like Kanye as a person. However. THIS VIDEO CLIP IS FREAKING AWESOME my art brain is sploding. It’s real people but it looks like a painting but it looks like a video game but it looks like paper.
*splode*
Hi. It’s been awhile. Update will be soon, I promise.
Within the last few months, I’ve been receiving friend requests from females who are scantily clad in lingerie and nighties, and they seem to be my age or younger. I never know who these women are nor do I believe they are actual people with feelings and hopes and dreams. With that in mind, I will now be posting them on here. That’s what they all want, right? The attention? Today’s latest request is from Natasha Brown, who actually has that she went to U of I (my alma mater) and went to a hoity toity high school.
Judging by the poor lighting, hair, and makeup, this instance may very well be a real person behind this profile. The Ikea lamp in the background is perplexing as well. Maybe she just wants a real photographer to shoot her? Maybe she should try messaging. Somebody who graduated high school and college four years earlier than everyone else her age should probably know about that option.
I’m not sure if it’s more distressing to be friended by fake profiles of girls or real profiles from Lebanese men.
Michael Vick’s agent Mike Principe felt comfortable enough to say that Vick signed a new endorsement deal with Nike, to which Nike representatives were like “WHOA GUYS PLZ HOLD TEH PHONE.” Okay it went down more like this:
“Nike does not have a contractual relationship with Michael Vick. We have agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.” official statement
They aren’t endorsing him, but he is getting free things from them as other athletes do in many types of sports without much bravado.
Finny the Doo is completed! All fourteen feet of it. This mural totally brought me back to the painting vibe. Next up is a portrait drawing. Here’s hoping I still got the touch with charcoal!
I have my cheerleaders at my side… er, back. They got my back.
I have the coolest commission yet: a mural of cartoon characters for a family’s playroom. This group is something that Disney has a say on, so I will not be posting pictures. The characters come from a story that rhymes with “Finny the Doo.” The wall is eight feet by fourteen feet, the biggest project I’ve done on my own. I’m using interior latex paint due to its water-based properties. Water = less fumes = less lingering cancer smells.
I CAN post pictures of my paint cans.
My base palette contains super specific types of each of the following: red, blue, yellow, almost black, almost white, and a brilliant white. I was asked to have a muted color scheme, and I found a lot of great choices at Home Depot with Behr. I’d link to Behr, but they are poop heads who do not make their website easy to navigate.
I thought this was neat. The paint that dried on the side is sensitive enough that it picks up the ink on the can label.
Saw this video linked on the facebooks. Two fellas by the names of Travis Nuckolls and Chris Baker walked around the Colorado Springs area asking people their thoughts on homosexuality. They then ask their interviewees when they decided to be straight. Bravo, guys. I’m totally using this the next time I experience gay haters.
I have a feeling this question may break a few people’s brains.
I’m super tired right now and I can’t feel my hands (yay wrist problems) but I wanted to post this before it becomes of of those “yeah I’ll get to it” doodles.
There’s a project out in the world called It Does Get Better, started by Dan Savage and his partner. It targets teenagers who identify somewhere in the LGBT-Q spectrum who are or have been harassed by others for being “different,” specifically for being some form of non-heterosexual.
When I clicked onto the It Gets Better Youtube page, this mohawked dude was the main video:
This is fucking brilliant. This project is connecting people who have been there to people who are there, going through all the bullshit. I wish this type of resource was available when I was a young person being pushed around for not being cool. I think a ton of people, not just the queer, can benefit from seeing people who have gone above and beyond the bullying. I can only hope that there are outreach programs that seek to connect IRL with people struggling, like the Trevor line, that can help people connect in an active way past the passive connectivity of internet video.
and here’s Dan Savage and his husband Terry’s own video:
This website is owned and operated by Stephanie J Haddad, me. I post about things I'm interested in sharing and do not receive endorsements for any of it. The only thing I'm interested in making money on is my art work........ please? Tyty.
