Time to take a stand, America. These abuses have been going on for far too long in this society, and other reasonable people have had enough.

Anna Wintour, 20 Years of Vogue
Anna Wintour
By Robin Givhan
The Washington Post
Anna Wintour is the only fashion editor whose name is likely to be recognized by those who have never purchased a copy of Vogue but are close readers of the Economist.
The blogosphere and the mainstream media are filled with stories that fetishize her as a combination oracle and beneficent dictator, as well as those who see in her inscrutable public demeanor, her waifish physique and her wardrobe of Chanel and Prada the sum total of all that is wrong with the Western world.

Ever since high school, Tiffany Tokarz has been the girl all her friends count on.
Whether it’s for a helping hand, a nonjudgmental ear or a silly laugh, she’s the reliable one. She wasn’t just a cheerleader on the field. It was her nature to root for everyone to do their best all the time.

Our Concepts of Beauty Can be Pretty Ugly
Ugly Betty is beautiful.
Something I heard the other night stuck with me.
In a heart-breaking moment one of my favorite TV characters said, “I should have known when he said I was beautiful, he was talking about on the inside.”
Three seasons in, and I forget that “Ugly Betty” is supposed to be, well, ugly.
