Kim Kardashian Fuels Pregnancy Rumours With Weight Gain And New Love For Maxi Dresses

It Seems as if Kim is not dressing as her usual self. Normally during the week she is in tight fitting dresses and high heals, but these days she is has been wearing flat sandals and maxi dresses. Could she be pregnant? Or could she just want to be comfortable? She has made it clear that she wants kids with Kanye West in the next year but there was no clear time frame on when it was going to start.

No matter if she is pregnant or not I think that people should get off of her back. She's human and she should be able to gain some weight and wear whatever she wants. People leave the house everyday in sweats and no make up, but they dont get chewed out for it. We need to remember how hard it must be for them and how much pressure that they must be under. The media has made it where a heavier set woman is considered not as desirable as a skinny girl. It"s sad, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Best moments of Gloria - Modern Family

I choose this clip because the media uses Sofia Vergara on what i think might be the depiction of a modern day gold digger. In the show modern family, she is married to an older gentlemen and of course he has a lot of money. she might not have married him for his money, maybe it was actually that brought them together but we don't know these days. Normally when we see an older man and a younger woman, we automatically think "gold digger" because thetas what society has made us believe.
I think that society and the media have a huge influence on how we think and what we think is right. I mean, there are some instances where we will all be like "wow, she is so stupid, what does she see in him?" but we cant say anything because its not our place.

Fun With Cam

I found this clip on YouTube. I think Modern Family does a great job at portraying the idea of same sex marriage in a very positive and humorous way. Everyone i know including myself finds that Cameron is the funniest character on the show, and I don't think it would be as big of a hit if his character didn't exist. The show is so popular because it deals with everyday situations, and its hilarious because we've all been in these situations before. We can at least relate to one of the characters in this show.

I believe that if the media portrayed same sex marriage like they do on Modern Family, people would not have such a negative view on the life style. In my opinion it shouldn't matter, our one destination in life should be happiness. So why should it matter, nothing should get in the way of happiness.

'Bully' Viewer Stands by Critical Email to Overweight TV Anchor

http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/bully-viewer-stands-critical-email-overweight-tv-anchor-180707171--abc-news-fashion-and-beauty.html

this article is about a man named Kenneth Krause, who sent an infamous, hurtful email to Jennifer Livingston, an anchor in Wisconsin. He thinks that she is overweight, and that she is setting a bad example for young adults, especially young girls today. She fights back and argues that the fact that she is overweight is because she has a thyroid condition, which makes it difficult fir her to loose weight. she talks about how she works out regularly, and how shes more than just numbers on a scale.

"This was a personal attack," Livingston said.  "Calling me obese is one thing.  Calling me a bad role model for our community that I've worked at for 15 years and especially for young girls when I have three girls was a low blow and I thought it was uncalled for and I wanted to call him out on it." -Livingston

I think that there is too much pressure on women to be absolutely perfect. When something isn't  "right:" about someone in the media, they are attacked, embarrassed, and are forced to change and alter who they really are. Everyone is different, everyone knows that, and still the media wants people perfect. The perfect height, the perfect weight, perfect breast size. How do they determine perfect? I don't think there are guidelines and laws telling us what is the ideal "perfect", so why do we conform.
