How to be a Woman from Halloween to January 2

October 30, 2013 by thevagenda

  Look, I carved a pumpkin. Look at my pumpkin, I have taken photos. Look how frickin’ BRILLIANT I am at carving. I am so crafty. Whose pumpkin is the best? Me and my housemates are competing. #craftisgreat.     LOOK! I’m going to a Halloween party, because I have FRIENDS. And we don’t take […]

Lessons from Grazia: Here’s Why You’re a Depressive

October 29, 2013 by thevagenda

  Did you know that 75% of women feel depressed, guilty and shameful within 3 minutes of reading a women’s magazine?    I know, right, what the fuck? That’s ages! I got depressed within ONE MINUTE of reading this week’s Grazia.    It wasn’t your classic front cover shot of ‘under attack’ Gwynnie epitomising Grazia’s […]

"Those Are Your Flaps, Dear": Why I’m A Big Fat Fan of TMI

October 29, 2013 by thevagenda

My tweets are protected now, but they didn’t used to be. A few months ago, I put a call out ‘WIMMENZ. Where can I get decent bras, small back, large cup size?’ I relied upon The Midnight Bark of retweets to yield results, some assistance for my weary bust. My sister and Ma found it […]

Fuck No Terry Richardson: One Model’s Take On ‘Fashion’s King of Sleaze’

October 25, 2013 by thevagenda

Image: Copyright of Theo Games Petrohilos 2013 So – Terry Richardson is once again making headlines for his well-documented inappropriate behaviour on shoots. I say ‘inappropriate’ but that’s completely the wrong word. ‘Inappropriate’ on a shoot would be, say, swigging Special Brew while greeting your knitwear client and then vomming on their cardi, or engaging […]

The Top 1,000 Reasons Not To Buy Closer Magazine

October 24, 2013 by thevagenda

There are two main reasons that I bought Closer magazine this week, one of which was the cover line ‘BIZARRE REAL LIFE: My boyfriend dresses as my twin sister!’ Like, does it mean that he dresses as if he were her twin sister or does it mean that he dresses exactly the same as her […]

Faking Orgasms: The big ‘Oh, oh, oh, oh…nah. It’s not happening’

October 23, 2013 by thevagenda

      One evening, my friends and I were getting ready to go to a party. We were throwing glitter over our heads and listening to Pixie Lott when I felt the sudden urge to relieve myself. And by that I mean I wanted to share what was becoming an intense psychological burden, not […]

24 More Signs She’s a Slut

October 17, 2013 by thevagenda

I was so lucky to have come across the most revolutionary piece of writing I’ve ever seen,”24 signs that she’s a slut” alternatively entitled “Why my Oedipus complex and tiny penis make me angry”. Nevertheless, as accurate as the article was, portraying us sluts of the world in the brilliantly positive light, I feel that […]

Stop Fucking Apologising and Start Blowing Your Own Trumpet

October 16, 2013 by thevagenda

    Recently I’ve been doing a lot of pitching. If you’re not already immersed up to your eyeballs with journospeak, this in the world of The Meejah means sending a paragraph or two explaining what you want to write about to the editor of some type of publication, with the hope that they might commission […]

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes… And A Strong Chin

October 16, 2013 by thevagenda

    As weak-chinned individuals ourselves, we and our jawlines were horrified to receive the press release below this week. Not only is this plastic surgery adspeak  vom-bomb the most horrific abuse of Marilyn Monroe since the Kennedys murdered her (what?), but neither of us has five grand to spare in order to emulate some […]

My Supersweet Lesbian Relationship

October 15, 2013 by thevagenda

Recently the news of my relationship with another member of the female sex has been filtering out into the public domain. By which I mean select members of family; and then anyone who can read the signs on Facebook – and also anyone and everyone who has seen us drunk in public. Neither of us […]

I Am Not A Feminist

October 14, 2013 by thevagenda

So, I’m trawling through the maelstrom that constitutes my Facebook newsfeed (read: cat videos and the usual drunken debauchery) and a little gem pops into view. Someone has liked a link to an article entitled ‘A Response to Feminism’. Being the hard-working student that I am, I instantly seize upon the opportunity for a little […]
