im just a bit curious. walked past sophisticats the other day, and realised i’d been in there about a year ago. never realised how close i lived to a strip club, eeek.

however it then got me thinking when i was out the other week as well with the girls who dance on ‘stage’ in clubs.

what’s the different between that sort of girl and a stripper?

they’re both paid to be semi-naked on stage. whether it be stomach legs or cooch is another matter.

i guess it’s cause my moral compass says no way in hell would a respectable girl every take a job like that, cause if you’ve got the want you’ve got the ability to get a job that’s a bit more reputable.

however im curious if im the only one who thinks like this?

i mean money is money if your in dire need, but i’d rather work at mcdonalds, and im sure my father would agree.

i feel like as a women i should know what today is about, but i’ve got no clue whatsoever.

so im guessing i’ll google around a bit and then tell simon when we go to lunch that he’s got to pay, ha!

Cosmopolitan did an article a while back that i wrote about, check it out here, and i’ve noticed that it’s been quite popular.

so last month i saved my cosmo magazine so i could write about the follow-up, but i’ve put it off for so long..

so here it is!

‘im no dog whistle’ vs. ‘dog whistles do exist’

personally, i think they do exist. i think the girls ‘defending’ them, are either dog whistles themselves or don’t really understand the concept.

i’m friends with plenty of guys, i chill with them. i play their games, i drink beer, i’m sort of a tomboy at times. but this doesn’t make me a dog whistle, just a friend. if you go around with an ulterior motive, then that’s another story. one girl from Bath, U.K. said ”i sit on the  laps of my male friends and discuss sex with them,” i find that a bit weird. i really hope that those guys don’t have girlfriends because i would not be happy. i think there’s also a difference when there’s an attractive girl in the group compared to maybe not being so ‘hot’. guys will always have ulterior motives.

a lot of women think it’s harsh that we’re labelling women, but really? we’re all labelled a million times over and the ‘dog whistle’ label has made me feel like i’m not the only girl in the world feeling this way.

this woman is being interviewed on the news about how she’s going to be watching the royal wedding, and honestly i think she’s crazy.

she’s brought with her, her magnets and pictures of the couple.

she says she’s going to be toasting them at home with champagne while watching the tv. surely she’s got a horrificly boring life. i can think of plenty of things better to toast champagne to!

some people really have nothing better to do with their time..

oh by the way, does anybody know if they’re going to be showing the world cup still? i don’t wanna watch the wedding only!

starting cleaning up a bit in my room since there’s bits of paper everywhere, watercolors, color palette, just stuff everywhere from doing my work. i came across a magazine from a while back and started to go through it again and there was an article about female porn. it’s just a controversial subject but im bringing it up anyways. women tend to find porn very degrading, which honestly 99% of the time it is. so one woman decided to start a company where they make female porn, a bit more sensual and not so sexist. which all in all is a good idea. women are allowed to watch porn as well no? i was trying to find the article online to post but couldn’t find it, instead i came across a lot about relationships and porn. women and their boyfriends/husbands watching porn. honestly at the end of the day men are men. you can’t change them. they are obsessed with sex and will never stop doing what they want to do. but i do agree with a lot of the women i found posted comments online, it is detrimental to a relationship. how is a woman supposed to feel if she’s out for a couple of hours and her guy’s at home watching porn? he couldn’t wait? she’s not good enough? not skinny enough? doesn’t have a good enough body? doesn’t appeal to him as much? all these questions arise, cause women are women. women have feelings and also tend to make a big deal out of nothing. and im not speaking for all women, cause some chicks love it as well. some couples watch it together. but for me it is such a major turn-off that i cannot even begin to explain. a man watching porn when he’s got a girl is probably one of the most degrading things i can think of. it’s pathetic as well. granted if she’s away for a long time, but some of these men watch it all the time. leave their wives to cook dinner to watch porn. honestly i’d drop him like no tomorrow. im not saying there’s anything wrong with watching porn, on your own time of course, but some men should really consider their partners feelings.

a picture from the kitchen here in råsunda.. and i gotta say that woman is an inspiration.

is anyone else as bothered by this hideous painting behind me in my pictures? the one thats hanging right above my bed? maybe its a sign. it reminds me of when i had to draw how i saw myself on a piece of paper, and it turned out to be way way way disoriented. maybe thats why i hate it so much. i just think its in-proportioned. maybe its nothing. thoughts?
