So since I've been getting pretty heavy recently, I thought I'd tone it dowwwn a bit and do a fun post about celebrities without make-up on. Ok so I'm still kind of covering controversy- mainly in the face of feminism, but I like to think it more light-hearted than American politics and religion. Please correct me if I'm wrong... ;)
**WARNING: Post contains pictures of my hungover face without ANY make-up**
P is for... Pistol whipping nuns.
Feeling in a better mood now folks! You'll be pleased to know?!
Thought I'd get on with another post to try and make you all forget about the grouchiness of the last one... And since I've recently covered religion- I thought, why not go all out? So now I'm covering religion AND politics. American politics! Eeeeep! I am feeling brave.
I mean, it's all pretty relevant, what with the next presidential election coming up in November, and all this talk on policy and protests; my two favourite blogging subjects!
For this post, I am looking at the Republicans. Nuns and Republicans actually. What a combo! It's a tale of what happens when right-wing politics rubs extreme Catholicism up the wrong way. Potent! (Couldn't resist a sexual innuendo there!)

F is for... Fifty Shades of Grey.
I'm not sure I even need to introduce these books as they seem to be ALL EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT.
But for those of you who may not yet be aware, the Fifty Shades trilogy is the erotic breakout series of the digital download revolution, written by Erika Leonard James. It's revolutionary, as it has proved that anyone can take up writing on the internet from the comfort of their own home, build their popularity, then get their work properly published, as a novel, and downloaded on to Kindles and Kobos. It originally evolved through online slash/fic - fan-published erotic writing; you know, in that creepy place on the internet where things happen such as Ron Weasley and Harry Potter discovering their real feelings for one another etc. James is a massive fan of the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer, which inspired this series.
C is for... Christians vs Cosmopolitan.
For this post I am taking a look at the stand that Victoria Hearst is making against Cosmopolitan Magazine. This post does contain my opinions on religion, so please bear in mind that any opinions are just my own and should be taken at face value, with a pinch of salt. This post took me a while to write, because although I am practicing fearless blogging, I am also aware that I need to be careful of my tone surrounding sensitive subjects such as religion. Please email me if you have any problems with the content. I'm always open to feedback on how to improve.
S is for... Schooling Sexism!
Just a quick post about these HILARIOUS books I came across yesterday...! It's great, I can't even be outraged by them because they are that ridiculous. However, I would like to make it clear that I would strongly urge you NOT to buy these books for any primary-school child.
A is for... American Appalling?
WELL, here's a topic that has already sparked some tweets, eh, @jon_digital, @jennifer_wilde and @cherry_waves?! Haha. ;)
This isn't really how I'd intended to start the post, but it seems relevant...
Here's a brief rundown of how our twonversation (Twitter conversation) went yesterday... So, Lee (cherry_waves) was saying that he agreed with my previous Urban Outfitters post regarding the price of their clothing not reflecting the quality of the garments. He also agreed the same for Topman and also, American Apparel. I subsequently told him that I'd been planning a post on American Apparel, actually.

M is for... "Money Draining Monarchy" (A Jubilee Special!)
I'd considered ignoring the Jubilee for blogging purposes; for the sole reason that I didn't really care about who was wearing what (although apparently Kate rocked out an Alexander McQueen dress that has previously been spotted on both Kim Kardashian AND Tulisa...! No. Still don't care.) and fashion didn't really play a massive part in the jubilant celebrations. So I had kind of ruled it out as a topic, what with wanting to keep my blog relatively fashion based (I have no idea why I'm clinging on to that...)...
M is for... Martin Schoeller.
Hi guys,
Just a quick one...
So I've just been introduced to Martin Schoeller, and I've been really enjoying his work.
He's a photograher, based in New York, and he's a big-timer; his work has been featured everywhere- The New Yorker, Outside Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, and Vogue.

U is for... Urban Outfitters- an exposé.
Bit of an exposé...
(Well, I say that, but this is news to me- not really ACTUAL news. This isn't an exclusive or anything; just to be clear. I haven't quite developed my investigative journalism skills enough to land myself a "scoop" as of yet.)

B is for... Burning a Birkin.
Love this! Brilliant topic...
Anyone see these pictures?! Or perhaps watch the destruction of this Hermès Birkin bag...? Gotta' love angst celebrity kids...

F is for... Fatkinis.
Oh, hi there...!
Alright?!
Pretty excited about posting again after my "time out", and if I'm honest, looking forward to subduing the "you-haven't-blogged-in-AGES" comments... I know. I have been slack.
Been so busy though! Moved into my new flat, spent a lot of time down in Devon and generally been doing things to keep busy... But since I never get the same response for my personal blog posts, I'll assume none of you care about what I've been getting up to in my absence, so let's move swiftly on... ;)
Swiftly on to... Fatkinis and women's body issues! Ha, I know.. way to segregate my male/female readership! Sorry guys. Just for you though, I'll include some images of hot girls in bikinis for you to look at for a bit- I'm sure that will keep you interested for a minute or two.(Girls in little clothing seem to be a reocurring theme for me and my blog- I'm not going to read too much into that...)

S is for.... Samantha Brick.
Could I ignore it? I tried very hard, but it was VERY difficult not to jump on the sarcy Samantha Brick bandwaggon.
Those of you who don't know who she is- FEEL ASHAMED. SHE'S ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND MOST MISUNDERSTOOD WOMEN, EVER.
