Shouting Into The Void

We all know blogging is just a vaguely narcissistic attempt to make ourselves feel important, to reassure ourselves that our opinions matter and at least someone out there cares what we think. I am vaguely narcissistic and I have a lot of opinions. Trust me, i'm generally right ;-)

I can’t believe Miss Congeniality, a movie from 2001, tackles internalised sexism, women’s self-defence and rape (”did you report him? “no, that stuff happens all the time.” “no, no it doesn’t!”) and shows the story of a tough, independent woman learning that she can still be all of that, and so can other women, while still being beautiful and sexy

[alloverthegaf]

also, competing women supporting each other??

“which one of these… is… the lipstick…”

*huge group of women freak out and converge on her to help her prepare*

[alloverthegaf]

HER WHOLE FINAL PERFORMANCE IS LITERALLY JUST TEACHING WOMEN HOW TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM ASSAILANTS

[alloverthegaf]

AND I FORGOT ABOUT CALIFORNIA SHOUTING TO THE CROWD ABOUT “I WANNA LET ALL THE LESBIANS KNOW, IF I CAN MAKE IT TO THE TOP 10, SO CAN YOU”

[alloverthegaf]

“I realised that these women are smart, terrific people, who just want to make a difference in the world.”

“For me, this experience has been one of the most rewarding, and liberating experiences of my life.”

I hate the “romantic” story line so much it’s hard for me to enjoy the film. But it is a pretty fantastic movie.

[butmyopinionisright]

And the sequel too - which ditches the romance angle, and Benjamin Bratt altogether- to focus on female friendship and on being yourself no matter what society tries to make you change. Which takes the makeover narrative of the first film and reverses it, bringing Gracie back to her tomboy self and celebrating Fuller's butchness as an asset whilst never judging Cheryl for being a beauty queen. Which gives you two women kicking ass to save one of them's best friend and becoming best friends themselves in the process. And the drag scene really is the tits.

I love butt stuff. I hate spiders. I stole a pen from the bank. I cried during ‘About a Boy’…the soundtrack! I can see why women find Clive Owen attractive to the point where I might just as well be attracted to him. I use comparisons to Hitler to win arguments on the internet at the drop of a hat. I know nothing about wine. I’m more turned on by women in pajamas than lingerie. I just wanna know that they’re comfortable. I didn’t get Inception. I didn’t get Inception! There’s so many layers.

I wish I was in a Katherine Heigl film, so that my clumsiness would mean me finding The One and not just 12 mystery bruises at any one time.

"She's so attractive" they'd say, as I belt my ankle on the side of a metal shelf. I'd laugh, breezily, as I limp away, playing hard to get.

"How does she do it?" they'd wonder, as I sustain my tenth paper cut of the day whilst maintaining witty repartee with my admirers, bleeding profusely.

“It's my complete lack of spatial awareness" I'd whisper, huskily, as I trap my fingers in a door. "And you love it."

             Falling...For You. Stumbling adorably into cinemas near you.                                     She’s Accidentally In Love.

They said it would be invisible. Like jumping into an invisible current that just carries you away.

“In a career spanning three decades, Ellen DeGeneres has lifted our spirits and brought joy to our lives as a stand-up comic, actor and television star. In every role, she reminds us to be kind to one another and to treat people as each of us wants to be treated. At a pivotal moment, her courage and candor helped change the hearts and minds of millions of Americans, accelerating our nation’s constant drive toward equality and acceptance for all. 

Again and again, Ellen DeGeneres has shown us that a single individual can make the world a more fun, more open, more loving place so long as we ‘just keep swimming.’”

It never ends.

[doseofwords]

After a pretty brutal week, Hillary Clinton gave an incredible speech at a Children’s Defense Fund ceremony that honored her lifelong child advocacy work.

She spoke about the inspiration she draws from her own mother (who overcame an abusive childhood) and the belief that we all need to work to make sure every child has an advocate. She spoke about the work that was done to expand Medicaid to cover more pregnant women and children, about criminal justice reform, about making schools more accessible to children with disabilities, about the children of immigrants who fear deportation, about making sure poor children receive the same shot as anyone else.

What does she get? Articles about her make-up.

Stuff like this is why the Ghostbusters couldn’t come up with any reasons besides ‘soup’  not to end the world when they were trying to talk the villain down in the reboot movie
