In honor of Ally Week (the week for awesome straight folks that support LGBTQ rights)

I wanted to share a comment from a Feministing article by VT Idealist.

Because it is awesome beyond words.

THF: Gloria is Truly Outrageous

Buzz cut your hair.

Stop buying magazines that make you feel like shit about your body.
Write a letter telling that magazine why you're not buying it anymore.
Go see an independent film made by a woman.

No, I don't have the balls to do #1, but definitely want to do all of the others. What's this, you ask? Well, they're OUTRAGEOUS acts, aren't they? (truly, truly, truly outrageous?)

Gloria Steinem talks about Outrageous Acts, "a Ms. Foundation for Women social networking, social change campaign that invites each of us to engage in, celebrate, and support acts in the cause of simple justice on behalf of women, families and communities."

If you, like Jerin, are obsessed with this woman, she made a little video for the campaign here.

And we are sooooo having a Gloria Steinem party, are you kidding?

THF: Sarah and Barbie, bff

Sarah Haskins tackles Barbie. Because I've had enough of this "50 years of awesome" thing. It's the face that launched a thousand eating disorders, it's kind of hard to celebrate...though, God I loved them as a kid. What a weird relationship most people have with this thing.

UPDATE:

Enjoy.
