We shouldn't have to avoid reading things because we know they contain negative messages. Why oh why does it always have to be about running people down rather than lifting them up?The Last Slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395047060598419996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-10602195959769474422012-02-13T14:10:04.515+00:002012-02-13T14:10:04.515+00:00A rant is very cathartic!

I don't read the negative gossip now... it brings me down and I don't see the point of doing that!

I always liked her from Buffy.<br /><br /> I think celebrity gossip is stupid especially when they make SUCH a big deal of little things like who lost weight or gained weight..I mean, who cares!? I only read it if it's within hand's reach but would never buy it by my own. I hope girls aren't influenced by what they read from fashion magazines and such.Sujanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627506091008909778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-7494762345199590092012-02-04T17:07:50.026+00:002012-02-04T17:07:50.026+00:00I like the dress a lot.

I don't particularly like the top right pic of her face, though - she looks a bit washed out where she's really quite beautiful in other shots. I wouldn't worry about what the DM and Joan Rivers say - they're never nice to any celeb and I don't hold out any hope that they'll change as it pulls in big readerships xEmily (@amummytoo)http://www.amummytoo.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-39935118199222950232012-02-03T21:26:02.350+00:002012-02-03T21:26:02.350+00:00Well said missis, I love fashion, comes from lovin...Well said missis, I love fashion, comes from loving sewing, I love the artistic expression and individuality of clothes. Love the thought and skill that goes into designing and making them. But yes I hate the 'fashionista' element thats overtaken the industy, that a certain look is the only stylish look, and God forbid you should stray from that! The 'Daily Mail' experts are among the worst culprits, I don't follow what they say at all, much more interested in bloggers and pinterest fashion. xxWag Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413624660367926798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657144058480210457.post-11728731575916922842012-02-03T20:30:59.814+00:002012-02-03T20:30:59.814+00:00Hello!

I know you probably came across in in the name of research but you'll find nothing good there! Like you, I thought SMG looked brilliant, and the reason I'd picked her out was for her bold choice in dress. I think it's great. Unlike many people, I think do that the fashion industry is important. I think that clothes are important (in fact, I'm about to write a blog post all about it, so I'm going to leave the details to that, but it's probably not the reasons you think) but I do know that certain elements of the press seem to delight in pitting women against each other which I loathe, and the obsession with weight gain, weight loss and dissecting the lives of 'celebrities' to minute detail is horrible. We deserve better and our children deserve better. Unfortunately it seems to be a symbiotic relationship - the more they publish this stuff, the more some people will read it and be influenced by it. We need better role models for our young girls and more responsible journalism. No doubt about it. Thankfully, there are many people who feel the same way. Perhaps the best thing that might ever come out of the Leveson enquiry is a better quality of journalism - until then, we need to be selective about what we read and what we allow our children to read. I too, want my daughter to have a different attitude and will do what I can to create an environment in which she can develop a mind of her own and a healthy amount of respect for everyone, no matter what they are wearing...MargotBarbarahttp://margot-and-barbara.comnoreply@blogger.com
