Highly Photoshopped Hendricks on Esquire

I love Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, she's very refreshing. She's on the cover of Esquire this month, but she's been photoshopped to the point of nonrecognition. What gives? Isn't it her non-cookie cutter body and image that makes her so damn appealing?

Pass the Dutchie

Just read an interesting article in of all things, National Geographic, about Double Dutch . The name Double Dutch is slang for something confusing or difficult, it's also an insult dating back to the 1800's when the British mocked the Dutch language.

A predominantly girls sport, it was introduced to the "New Amsterdam" aka New York City in the 1600's by who else, the Dutch. However, it wasn't until the 1940's when young Blacks & Jews pioneered the sport, introducing it to cities across the US. Subsequently, its become a global phenomenon.

In fact, starting this spring, Double Dutch will become a varsity sport in all New York City public schools. How long until Crunch offers a Double Dutch class?

Check out this funny video, Malcom McLaren's Double Dutch circa 1983

Booty Booty Booty Rockin Everywhere

Move over titties*, Americans have learned to favor another female body part - BOOTY!!!!

It seems over the past decade Americans have learned to love the tuchus. Blame it on Sir-Mix-Alot or J Lo. Whatevs, for those of us who've got junk in the trunk & spilling out of Uniqlos cause they don't cut them right - Halleluyah! It's about time.

Check out this article published on Alternet.org exploring the varying perspectives of booty (including body politics, Brazilian butt-implants, radicalized bodies & sexual stereotypes) in America and around the globe alas emphasizing that women should be based on their character, not their booty.

As an added bonus, Lady Ass Alot for your viewing pleasure. She's proud, so more power to you girl.

*Please note the obsession with titties will not be going anywhere anytime soon.
