💙 Tim Gunn And plus size clothing needs intentional design not every shape is the same

Tim Gunn on Plus Size Clothing

“Have you seen most of the plus-size sections out there? It’s horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels, I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not realistic

take a quick break to enjoy this, so worth the time

I am SO, SO EXCITED to share my SVA thesis film at long last!!!!! This is what I spent most of the past year working on. It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever made, and I still couldn’t have done it without the help and support of a bunch of really awesome people. I strongly recommend watching it in HD and I hope you like it a lot! :)

This is hauntingly pretty...

where do I get one?

should not be so complicated - but because it is...

im a 21 year old (ive never voted before) but i want to vote this time for bernie. can you please explain when voting starts, like what date and what should i do. i graduated high school 3 and a half years ago and i really dont remember that well when it comes to what needs to be done to vote

It takes some dedication to become involved in the political process, mostly because there are so many vested interests trying to keep you from doing so.

Also, I almost guarantee that what I am going to tell you was never covered in High School. 

Your First step is to: Register to vote.

In order to vote for Bernie Sanders in the Primaries different states will have different requirements.

You will not have to register for any party in order to vote for Bernie Sanders in the Primaries if you live in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.

You will have to be either registered as a Democrat or be Unaffiliated In order to vote for Bernie Sanders in the Primaries if you live in: California, Idaho, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Washington and West Virginia

You will have to be a registered Democrat in order to Vote for Bernie Sanders in the Primaries if you live in: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wyoming

In many states you have to be registered as a member of that party for 30 days prior to the primaries in order to vote, although that isn’t always the case. So your best bet is to register now. 

Next, find the date of your primary or caucus and vote.

Due to the large amounts of money and time that candidates spend in the states with earlier primaries and caucuses, many states will spend this year changing the date of their events. Rules are also subject to change at the same time.

ELECTION DAY

As long as you followed the first step and registered to vote, your state will send out information about your voting location and what you need to bring to that location in order to vote.

I know this is tons of information and that it seems super complicated, it is set up that way on purpose. Those in power want you to react:

The powerful are banking on us acting this way. 

They know that the Millennial Generation is now the largest voting generation in History. They know that we have the ability to enact change in a way that has never been seen before and they are scared. 

This is our first chance to make the changes we want in government. I know it may be difficult to become involved but if we learn anything from our parents generation it should be that a lack of participation in politics only makes the system favor the wealthy and hurt the rest of us.

Let’s not make the same mistakes.

The more I hear from Bernie, the more I like him.

this was nice to hear

Burt’s Bees creator Burt Shavitz died Sunday — but left behind advice we all need to hear 

Burt Shavitz, the bearded man whose face and spirit created the beloved brand Burt’s Bees, died on Sunday at 80. Shavitz passed away in his rural home in Maine, surrounded by family and friends. Shavitz was never one to embrace a crowd. In fact, his life story is as true to the Burt’s Bees images as you can get: unpretentious, wholly original and all natural.

“It is a condition of monsters that they do not perceive themselves as such. The dragon, you know, hunkered in the village devouring maidens, heard the townsfolk cry ‘Monster!’ and looked behind him.” ―Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Laini Taylor
