And I didn't mean to imply anything by what I wrote before. I think the first link is fine for Link Love :-)<br />Joy - I linked to some of my favourites in last week's LL post, but of course many more collections have been shown in the meantime (haven't had time yet to browse those).<br />Robin - I love this, thank you!</p> <p>Thanks again fab ladies for your amazing links!</p> <p>The thread for this week is now closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-196#post-1562141 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 03:50:09 +0000 Robin 1562141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The quotes that go with each picture are what make this article or me, especially the comments from folks about how strong and useful their thighs are. People measure their beauty and worth against impossible standards, and they also expect their bodies to stay the same over time and are distressed when that doesn't happen. </p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/30/thighs_n_7690968.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000046" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....mg00000046</a>Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-196#post-1561783 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:10:48 +0000 Anonymous 1561783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've not had time to follow, nor have I seen much about Fashion Week.

I was thinking the same thing as LavenderMoon: Cintra Wilson sure doesn't mince words.<br />Marlene - Sounds interesting. The video currently isn't loading for me, but I'll try again tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-196#post-1561422 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 19:05:21 +0000 Anonymous 1561422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that Cintra Wilson is something, isn't she?&nbsp; I love to read her stuff, but I'd sure hate to be her target.&nbsp; She shows no mercy at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-196#post-1561378 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 17:02:47 +0000 Marlene 1561378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Combining fashion with current events! &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/101/video/101-the-popes-wardrobe-529268291637">http://www.nbcnews.com/feature.....9268291637</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-196#post-1561213 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 09:42:55 +0000 Vildy 1561213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cintra Wilson wrote a book Fear and Clothing: Unbuckling American Style, in which she looks at the psychological meaning behind typical style in various "belts" (hence the unbuckling) across the country. I read the excerpt about Washington, DC style and became curious about her.<br />Looked up her writings and saw she was the one behind the uproar about critiquing Penney's mannequins as "most obese" she's ever seen, in service of size diversity. </p> <p>Here is a slideshow featuring a selection of her pieces as a critical shopper for the NY Times.&nbsp; Each panel features an excerpt and there are links to the full article. One seems to be the basis of her chapter on Brooklyn hipster style. I just find her fascinating to read, as she holds back nothing.</p> <p><a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2011/04/cintra.html" rel="nofollow">http://nymag.com/thecut/2011/04/cintra.html</a></p> <p>Here is the Wash DC chapter for the curious. <br /><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/09/fear-and-clothing/405919/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theatlantic.com/pol.....ng/405919/</a></p> <p>Her critique of Ann Taylor:&nbsp;The line has always offered tasteful middle-management office classics<br /> in wool with just enough spandex to vaguely suggest a Sarah Palin<br /> strip-o-gram. My shorthand for the look was always “capitalist burqa” or<br /> “corporate office submissive”: cubicle-wear of so-so quality for the<br /> single girl in her late twenties whose self-esteem has been almost<br /> beaten to death by the beauty-industrial complex, and whose decent<br /> education has been punished with a thanklessly demanding office job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-196#post-1561192 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 07:15:01 +0000 Inge 1561192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Joy!<br />They are super fun, aren't they, Jaime.
