Hey guys. Watching the US presidential inauguration coverage from across the border is quite a view. I love how Americans go all out with stuff like this. Honestly, I do. I love watching ceremonies from an anthropological standpoint. Being that the US is Canada’s closest neighbour, I feel obligated to keep up with the national news. But one thing about it in particular has got me a little angry. It’s the coverage of the … Continue reading →

14-Year-Old Blogger, Peace Prize Winner Shot by Taliban. Hey guys. If you watch/read the news, you’ve probably heard about this by now. Malala Yousafzai is a 14yr old Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for simply wanting to go to school. (UPDATE to this story: I’ve read that she’s in a stable condition in hospital) In 2011 she won Pakistan’s first Peace Prize for her work on promoting rights to education … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens. No doubt you’re glad the Olympics is over. But for me, it’s not because of the sports coverage. I actually like sports! It was the unfair coverage of female athletes that got my attention. These women work fucking HARD to get to Olympic level.  They are skilled, strong, healthy, ambitious and smart. They are gold, silver and bronze medallists. They are our sisters, mothers, friends, team-mates and best friends. They are simply, the best … Continue reading →

Not many girls are this confident; Precious is practically brimming with it. Originally from Australia, she dived into Vancouver’s lively burlesque scene. SK: Burlesque is big in Vancouver. How did you get started? PM: When I first moved to Vancouver I … Continue reading →

Can we stop this sort of bitchy crap, ladies?

Hey Strangekittens. Firstly, don’t get pissy at me about only picking on women, i’m gonna do a corresponding male post next week. I am so very, very sick of cliquey, man-hating, sheeple behaviour. I have studied sociology, and psychology. I know people of like mind gather together in groups. This also applies to those with the same misguided hatreds. Biologically, this all makes sense to me. In practical terms, it doesn’t, in a way. … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens.  Yesterday I saw a wonderful post about how (the author’s) body type affects where she shops. Obviously to some extent this applies to everyone, but how? Let’s look at this from my personal experience. I hate shopping for clothing. I really, really do. It’s not even a size thing any more, now that I’ve gone down a few sizes. To start off with, i’m dramatically taller than average, which I’ve mentioned before. 5’11 to be exact, and … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens. What would you change about your community, given the power? Today I want to see your opinions. They’re all important. I’m sick and I can’t do a make-up tutorial this week, I got to thinking about stuff I’d change about the community around me, and on a national level, if given the chance. I’m the type that keeps up with the news, especially political news and science. I as of yet, cannot vote at federal … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens. As you may have read, today is International Women’s Day. Some of the younger people among us may not understand why we have such days. These days are in respect to the women that came before us, they built the foundation of the countries you stand in. Without a woman, you wouldn’t even exist. We all have mothers, alive, dead, or ones we don’t like. Some of us … Continue reading →
