Comment on Turn Off the Telly, Tune In to Your Body by Chloe

FAB read! So true and down with reality. Its so ironic how I, myself, sit in front of the tv taking in every work of Supersize Superskinny and fitness programmes. When instead, I could be going for a run in the park! Your article gives a great positive outlook on how we should feed our minds and self-esteem by exercising not eating chocolate muffins!

Comment on Frances Morgan of Plan B talks Women in Music Journalism by Caroline Bottomley

Here here!

I’ve worked in quite a few music-related businesses and used to often ponder why music was so often male-oriented and laddish behind the scenes. And I recently came to the conclusion it’s all about VISIBILTY. We’re social animals with a lot more herd mentality than we like to admit. Which is all good stuff, because as enough women get into male-dominated roles then it all starts snowballing.

As as aside, I was just thinking the other day about the huge grime and dubstep channels that have developed on YouTube and that there aren’t eg indie channels that compare at the moment. I’m hypothesising that’s because grime and dubstep enthusiasts/(SBTV = black kid living on sink estate) don’t live in the mainstream, so somewhere like YouTube where it’s easier to create and own your own identity is where you can take off.
I’m also noticing a huge number of female music bloggers out there.

Hurray for the internet. And hurray for the front-runners, who make a place for others to more comfortably follow.

Comment on Hollering Back- The growing movement against street harassment by Annie

So true. Men trying to impress each other by shouting across the street makes me self conscious, but I find the whispered comment from someone walking alongside really chilling, and that’s probably more prevalent.

Comment on Say No to a Crappy Mother’s Day! by Melissa

A very interesting article tying together the importance of Mother’s Day and supporting the worthy cause of maternal and infant mortality. I am writing on behalf of Women and Children First, a charity that is also an advocate of maternal health issues. The link to their website can be found below:

All support is greatly appreciated.
