Scribbles about News: Feminist stuff!

This is really cool! Goldie Blox has a new commercial out announcing its new action figures made for girls. I think Goldie Blox is kind of a cool company because it originally started with science toys targeted for girls and now they have these really cool action figures made for girls. This commercial is quite brilliant also. Beauty isn't everything. Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way and they shouldn't have these unrealistic expectations for women. Its very nice to see that girls can play with action figures now. I'm so jealous that I didn't have these growing up, but I'm happy these exist for my own kids.

In other feminist related news, Aerie sales have gone up since their campaign to not use photoshopped women to sell their merchandise. Good for them! American Eagle is my absolute favorite store and I buy most things at Aerie. Not to be TMI, but the quality of their underwear is wayyyy better than Pink, and I like their hoodies and leggings better also. To be fair, their models are very skinny naturally. I haven't seen anyone that looks like me modeling... but who's to say there isn't and that there could be one day. Who knows maybe I'll model for them... no I won't lol. Not just because of my size, I'm too clumsy to walk the runway! But if it gets me free American Eagle and Aerie stuff I'd do it!

So there you go everyone! Cate Blanchett was right, the world really is round and women are important! Hope you've enjoyed this small feministy scribble about news... I probably won't have stuff that happened this week because this was the only news I really liked of the week!

Byeeeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...
