Vogue editor Anna Wintour shades Kim K and Kanye West Posted: 19 Nov 2014 07:19 AM PST White lady shade. They do it so subtly that you don't see it at first but if you read between the lines, you will see her drag her claws across Kim and Kanye's face. lol. When asked during a discussion at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts on Monday why she put Kanye and Kim K on the Vogue cover, Ms Wintour said it was 'not a tasteful choice' and admitted that she did it as a publicity stunt… "I see the role of Vogue to reflect what's going on in the culture. The first celebrity that I put on the cover of Vogue was Madonna, and that was considered completely controversial at the time, too. It's such a long time ago probably no one remembers, but she was a very controversial figure. Now she's part of the establishment. I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover, it would be a rather boring magazine! Nobody would talk about us. It's very important that people do talk about us."Ouch! This woman is not nice at all...:-). Vogue actually lost a lot of subscribers after the infamous Kimye cover so she's been explaining why she did it.. |

Indonesian police force female recruits to undergo 'virginity tests' Posted: 19 Nov 2014 04:31 AM PST Did y'all know that to be a police officer in Indonesia, you have to be a virgin? I know it's none of ya business but it's interesting to read. According to Human Rights Watch, the organization fighting to get the practice abolished - female police recruits who make only 3% of the country's police force, are being forced to take 'virginity test' before they begin training. The Indonesia police recruitment website says, 'All women who want to become policewomen should keep their virginity." The female police officers who have undergone this test, which examines them to make sure their hymens are still intact, say its 'painful, traumatic and really upsetting' and are asking that it be stopped. "I feared that after they performed the test I would not be a virgin any more. It really hurt. My friend even fainted because … it really hurt, really hurt.' a recruit told HRWHuman Rights Watch say they are working with the government to get rid of the practice as its 'discriminatory and a form of gender-based violence'. |
