Look into Mia’s upbringing. Her father is one of the richest men in Australia. Vaucluse, the boats, the cars etc.
Mia has a live in nanny, so don’t think she should pretend to understand the rest of us – really has no idea.

[...] Is it, being one of the faces of BONDS, a company that promotes a ‘healthy’ body image by only shooting slim models in their underwear?, is it, refusing to answer the question as to whether or not her image was airbrushed while posing to raise awareness about body image?, or maybe, it’s criticising other women’s fashion choices and allowing other people to make comments on women&….

Turquoise, jade,Tiffany Necklaces carnelian, lapis, moonstones, and opals were all chosen for their ability to filter light. Emphasis based on color was very prevalent in his works.

Missed the whole Mia blog post thing I will have to go check it out. Personally I find Mia a bit feminist lite. But that appears the fashion these days.

I love the blog post lots of great points that really got me reflecting. Found this blog through the Helen Razer article who as always nails it.

I will be back to read more

I think the thing is that these are not all 'equivalent' readings of a painting. Someone is saying that their experience of Frock Watch is as snarky, and as damaging to their experience of their own body. Others are agreeing. You are saying that this perspective is invalid because you like Frock Watch? I tend to think that if there are two readings, and someone is telling you that the way they experience something is as damaging, that damage matters more than whatever cheap thrills you might get from participating in Frock Watch.

And that's quite aside from Mia Freedman, allegedly supporting positive body image, refusing to believe other women when they TELL her that Frock Watch encourages an attitude towards bodies in general – our own, and others – that is damaging. I mean – if you've decided your commitment is to positive body image, and others tell you you're doing a thing that undermines that, don't you… I dunno, rethink it?
