Fashion and Politics.

It’s election time. Since I recently became an American citizen I was granted the right to vote. It’s a lot of work I ‘ll tell you that, because I have to study all these propositions and really think about the effects that could have once passed. I am obviously also very skeptical of the media coverage because they tend to sensationalize news at a point that they don’t even talk about the real issue; they rather criticize fashion choices of female candidates or focus on dolls created just for certain politicians. And how interesting is to follow how female politicians are portrayed during political candidatures? It’s never about their intellectual capabilities; rather their mother skills are emphasized and fashion items determine their future career in politics.

No matter their political affiliation, women in politics are discriminated for their sex. A typical example of a patriarchal profession. Even if during the presidential candidatures we had two prominent women running for president and vice president positions it almost seemed that it was a strategic maneuver, not a choice. “Hilary is running? Let me get Sarah Palin too.” Women in politics should not be underpinned to a trend. Nevertheless, Florida has Alex Sink in governor’s race and I have not seen yet any gender stereotyped images of her. I wonder why. Is it because she is just at the state level? Or because Crist’s obsession with tanning beds seems to be more entertaining? By the way, do you see any resemblances with Kumar? Just saying….



You have plenty of Halloween's options now.



Wearing jeans from DKNY (very comfortable); shoes by Mango; Top by Max and Co. (MaxMara); tank top from Forever 21. I desperately need to do something about my hair.
