FASHION/ Do You Like Pink Booty Shoes?

Posted by Rachel On November-17-2009

For all the women who would like a dose of "you're not good enough" medicine, Reebok has just the shoe for you! Hooray! Reebok recently came out with a "athletic shoe" named "easy tone" that advertises to tone your booty simply via walking. First of all, I hardly think it will work. 2nd of all, I hope Reebok goes back to focusing on shoes instead of targeting poor women who are already insecure as it is due to everyday media! Objectifying a woman's body is no bueno.

Fysh N Chicks

America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC) is a "reality show" where dance crews from the streets compete for a $100,000 prize. Airing on MTV, ABDC has become a huge success with a total of four seasons of talented dancers to showing-off their moves. In the first season of ABDC, a specific group called Fysh n Chicks caught my eye. Fysh n Chicks is an all-female group from Los Angeles, California. For them, it is essential to focus on the dance and not on bodies and to emphasize this belief, the women always dress in baggy jeans, along with flannel shirts and bandanas. It was such an inspiration to see these empowering women, who were strong and independent, rise in a male dominated genre. Although Fish n Chicks did not make it to the finale, they left a lasting statement on the show and encouraged many young female dace groups that you don’t have to objectify yourself to get the attention. Let your talent speak for itself.
