I'm Still Not Tired - Larkin Callaghan

In case you were interested in using vodka to measure the merits and statuses of sex workers, I’ll just direct you here…

…for making sure I didn’t actually take a few days off this holiday week!

What a charming little undergarment you were planning on selling to the masses this Black Friday:

Every 7 year-old girl needs a thong (like, I could end the sentence there!), that also broadcasts to the world that they’re diggin’ for gold before they’re even old enough to have a checking account of their own!

The perfect holiday gift for your first grader. The message that baring their buns will be rewarded with a wealthy partner. Cheers!

Check out the last two guest posts on ‘I’m Not Tired Yet.’ Belinda writes about social marketing campaigns, and Stephanie talks about finding feminism in unexpected places in Zambia. And thanks to all who participated and commented on our great guest bloggers!

I am thrilled to now be a regular contributor to About Face. This non-profit organization educates and equips women and girls with the tools to critically analyze media messages that are directed at them and can affect their self-esteem and body image. They offer media literacy workshops, are designing a curriculum, and have action groups that allow girls to become engaged in developing their media literacy.

Check out my first post, about Kellogg’s “Special K Challenge” and how it is a thinly veiled campaign that supports a fasting mindset contributing to disordered perceptions of what a healthy nutritious diet truly is.

October is guest blogger month over at ‘I’m Not Tired Yet’ and our first post is up! Erik Nook writes about being a male feminists, the prevalence of gender-based insults on social networking sites, and microaggressions. Check it out and stay tuned for the rest of the month’s guest writers.

I never really thought I agree with something that Kathie Lee Gifford said, but it turns out she and I do share an opinion. Specifically, regarding the trend of women waxing and shaving their pubic region to the point of oblivion. I talk more in detail over at ‘I’m Not Tired Yet’ about why this activity can regress women and promote the sexualization of girls - something that’s no good for men or women.
