What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw this weekend…
question of the day: Is “the gaze” (male or female) disempowering for the gazee?

‘FHM’ names ladylike dude Andrej Pejic one of the 100 sexiest women in the world… then freaks out when they learn she’s a guy
The teenaged-boy fashion model is making hetero guys uncomfortable by turning them on…
