Recently, I squeezed myself into a pair of skinny leather trousers. For months I’d been trawling through Pinterest, pinning pictures of other girls wearing theirs and forming a mental image of what I’d look like in mine. However, no matter which angle I looked at myself in the mirror, here they were and they just […]

Quick question – is nominating new year’s resolutions for other people a thing? If it is, then I would like to suggest one for BBC Three, regarding their programme Snog, Marry, Avoid, which seems to be on TV if not in one, big continuous stream, then A LOT. I’m mostly pissed at them for spoiling […]

I’ve had sex. Have you heard of sex? It’s this thing you can have with other people where you touch and probe your tongues around and hope you’ll have something “like a sneeze, but better,” although you probably won’t. I quite like it.

The end of an old year and the beginning of an old one is traditionally a time for introspection and reflection, and nothing epitomises this more than those ‘Year in Review Years’ that thankfully, we’ve just about seen the last of. And thank fuck for that. Unfortunately for me, just as I thought I was […]

It doesn’t take long these days for me to slide the fact that I’m a feminist into a conversation. I feel as though I have to let people know this upfront, because a.) I don’t shave my head but I do shave under my arms and b) my bras might have holes in them but I’ll […]

Like a dog that vomits and then eats its own sick, Urban Outfitters are at it again. This week they’ve been forced to pull their “controversial” (read: “insensitive posturing dickbag”) Depression crop top. [pictured] Yep: DEPRESSION. All over your tits! Who wouldn’t want this? I mean, probably not people with depression, because if you’d had […]

Fuck. Sorry to start a blog post this way, but fuck. 2014 is barely hard yet. It’s climax is months and months away, and we’re already being bombarded by diet advice. January is, of course, the natural time to start ragging on you for being a porker, but knowing that the months ahead of us […]
