The video link can be found near the bottom of the second link. Vildy, right!

And what's with all this judginess, anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-200#post-1574664 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 19:50:24 +0000 Robin 1574664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go Zendaya !</p> <p>This has me thinking, though: Will we ever be able to move past the idea that slender, with bumps and curves only in certain places, is the only way a body can look beautiful? Uniquely shaped buildings are admired for their originality; why not all bodies in their unique shapes and sizes?<br /><a href="http://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/news/a31315/a-magazine-tried-to-photoshop-zendayas-body-and-she-had-the-perfect-response/" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/news/a31315/a-magazine-tried-to-photoshop-zendayas-body-and-" rel="nofollow">http://www.elle.com/culture/ce.....-body-and-</a>...</a>Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-200#post-1574621 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 18:07:02 +0000 Astrid 1574621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are many articles about uniform dressing as the perfect ideal - a way of dressing to make everything "easy", to enable a person to concentrate on other things.&nbsp; This blog post had me wondering if there isn't another side to uniform dressing:</p> <p><a href="http://palavarakkauspikkusydan.blogspot.fi/2015/10/univormuista-on-uniform-dressing.html" rel="nofollow">http://palavarakkauspikkusydan.....ssing.html</a></p> <p>I can definitely confirm what she's describing looking at the women and young girls around me, the dressing is very schematic for a better part of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-200#post-1574560 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 14:49:06 +0000 Inge 1574560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joy!<br />Are these the articles you are referring to?</p> <p><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2015/oct/19/fashion-black-tights-women-fashtag" rel="nofollow">http://www.theguardian.com/fas.....en-fashtag</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2015/oct/20/in-defence-of-black-tights" rel="nofollow">http://www.theguardian.com/fas.....ack-tights</a></p> <p>I can't seem to find the video though.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-200#post-1574524 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:50:09 +0000 Anonymous 1574524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Guardian has had a series of features on wearing black tights vs bare legs, including social acceptability and a how to video.
