🇧🇷 Will Smith e mulheres carecas

Na noite passada o “comediante” Chris Rock fez uma piada péssima sobre Jada Pinkett Smith durante a cerimônia do Oscar. Jada estava belíssima no evento. O marido da atriz, Will Smith, premiado como melhor ator no mesmo evento, não gostou da piada, deu um tapa em Chris Rock e pediu para o comediante nunca mais pronunciar o nome de sua esposa.  É inaceitável fazer piadas com mulheres carecas. Existem aquelas que são carecas exclusivamente por estilo, e têm personalidade forte o bastante para lidar com piadas de mau gosto. Existem as atrizes que raspam os cabelos para seus papéis em algum filme ou peça de teatro e provavelmente elas também têm força para segurar o visual. Devemos pensar que mesmo mulheres fortes têm momentos que estão mais sensíveis. E existem aquelas que estão carecas devido à alopecia ou à quimioterapia. E estas geralmente estão fragilizadas demais para serem vítimas de piadas de mau gosto e lidarem bem com isso. O machismo da sociedade cria uma imagem falsa e des...

🇬🇧 Why models must be tall and thin

Many people question the fact that catwalk models are always tall and thin when, according to them, “normal” people are shorter and never so thin. If you question yourself about this, read this text to the end. If you never thought about it, read it too!  😁 I work in the fashion industry since I was a child. I am 1.75 meters tall. When I was a teenager, it was impossible to find pants that suited me perfectly in length. They were all short. Fashion in Brazil at that time was far from being developed as it is nowadays. So, the obvious and practical reason why models are taller than average is to avoid this problem, to make clothes that fit perfectly for taller than average people. Because it is very easy to shorten a pair of pants than to lengthen them. In fact, all the methods for stretching pants, shirts, etc. will make the change very evident, looking like a patch. Which is disrespect for us tall people. And making clothes with the tallest people in mind does no harm to the shor...

🇬🇧 We are what we are

Twenty one years ago I entered this world. In the beginning it was dial up connection to enter, as quick as a lame turtle. The quality of the pictures that time was low, and I think a selfie like today we transfer in an instant would require several minutes or hours to be downloaded that time.  I was talking with some acquaintances yesterday about this. And one of them told us once he met a girl who told him she was like a younger Patricia Pilar (a famous and beautiful brazilian actress). He had no pictures of the girl and his expectations were too high, and he was sad to observe she really looked like the actress except for one detail: her nose was rough and big. Then I told him if I were to compare myself with some celebrity everybody knows it would be Angelina Jolie, but with brown eyes and smaller breast. The big eyes, mouth and delicate nose are similar. He told I really look like her. This is easy when you see the picture first. But then I saw a picture of Angelina in the m...
