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 […]

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 […]

As part of our #imawomanand campaign with Elle and Wieden + Kennedy London, W + K kindly installed an interactive feminist vending machine in the window of their agency. Yes, that’s right, an INTERACTIVE FEMINIST VENDING MACHINE. Who knew such a thing existed? All you need to do is find the window […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Shaving my legs isn’t a huge deal for me. When I hear people talking about what hassle it is, I wince, knowing I do something even more ridiculous in the name of looking normal for the world. Threading is the bane of my existence – and judging by the amount of women who have it […]

I can’t help feeling that Woody Allen’s much lauded new film Blue Jasmine is, in fact, a sexist load of spew. Literally. After seeing it my mother astutely observed that it felt, more than anything else, “like two hours of watching Cate Blanchett vomit”. The whole film was a bit like a cynical glutton’s sweet […]
