Fashion Icon: Upset Toddlers Archive RSS

Two feminists with a love of gossip sites and an inability to "shut up" or "smile correctly" when gossip sites draw obscene images on pictures of 15 year olds or refer to bisexual men and women as attention seeking.

So we created this tumblr to talk about that.

The title of the blog comes from our mutual loathing of pictures of crying and/or upset celebrity children. We wish such pictures, like many of the things we highlight here, would disappear from the face of the earth.

"Painful but worth it”? WHAT THE HELL. Do InStyle’s offices not have access to Wikipedia? I have to assume that’s the case, because obviously no one at the magazine knows why Hayworth had that electrolysis: at the behest of Columbia Pictures, to make her appearance less Hispanic and therefore more marketable. That’s also why she dyed her hair red and bleached her skin. (Incidentally, that second link has a context-sensitive ad for a skin-lightening treatment that reads “InStyle Award Winner!” Wow.)"
