This is Melissa McEwan, a blogger for Shakesville. Someone took this photo of her and made a fake OKCupid profile that was riddled with fat hatred and racism. It got linked on Reddit, and as you can see from the notes, it’s made its way to Tumblr.

This is not a real profile, and this person did not write any of it. Here’s some of what she had to say:

I’m getting emails about it from people who recognize me, so part of the reason for this post is just to publicly say: Yes, I know about it.

Another part is to acknowledge that my image is being used in a racist meme, which is upsetting.

I’m pissed to have been put in a position where some people will misconstrue my objection to the meme as embarrassment (or some other negative reaction) to the suggestion I’d be sexually intimate with a black man, as opposed to being angry my image is being used to perpetuate oppressive stereotypes of black men as: 1. A Mandingo monolith; and 2. Consolation prizes for white women considered undesirable by white men.

That is not how I think of black men, and I am unthrilled, to put it mildly, to see those narratives being promulgated in the year of our lord Jesus Jones two thousand and twelve, no less that my image is being used in the process.

Finally, I’m writing about this to underscore, once again, the cost of being a fat woman who has the unmitigated temerity to put her picture on the internet. My picture has been used in all sorts of violent and pornographic imagery; it’s been used to mock me specifically, and to mock fat women generally; it’s been appropriated as “the face of morbid obesity”; and now it’s been used in a racist meme. I’m sure pictures of me have been used in ways of which I’m not even aware.

So, you know. Stop reblogging this.

Who? Bonnie Parker portrayed by Faye Dunaway. Featured in Bonnie and Clyde. 

Why? Bonnie is fed up with her dull life. When she meets criminal Clyde Barrow, she finds herself drawn to his exciting life and they embark on a whirlwind bank robbing spree. Their intense love captures media attention, and the police are soon on their trail. Bonnie isn’t just a great character in her own right, but also in terms of her position as a female. Bonnie is unapologetically sexy while Clyde fears sex, turning gender roles on their head. Yet Bonnie is never punished for her sexuality like the femme fatales who preceded her. It’s very rare to find a female character who is allowed to be overtly sexual without being reduced to an object, making her an important figure in film history. Bonnie is the rare film anti-heroine. She goes along with the robberies quite happily, giving crime a glamorous edge. She is often compared to Clyde’s sister in law Blanche. While Blanche is shrill, irritating and stuffy, Bonnie is sensual, charming and free spirited. The contrast makes her character even more captivating, and surprisingly likeable for a criminal. In real life, the media were obsessed by how young, beautiful Bonnie could commit such terrible crimes. Over 30 years later, Dunaway gives Bonnie the same mesmerising quality found in the original.   

Famous Words: “Well I’m Miss Bonnie Parker and this here is Mr Clyde Barrow. We rob banks.”

In a 1968 interview, Warren Beatty mentioned that his last conversation with ex-girlfriend Natalie Wood took place in the summer of 1966 when he tried unsuccessfully to get her to play Bonnie Parker with him in Bonnie & Clyde. Later that evening, she attempted to take her own life and was discovered by her live-in housekeeper.

You can’t get much happier than a pig in muck, or so we are told.

But when this little piggy arrived in the farmyard she showed a marked reluctance to get her trotters dirty. While her six brothers and sisters messed around in the mire, she stayed on the edge shaking. It is thought she might have mysophobia - a fear of dirt.

Owners Debbie and Andrew Keeble were at a loss, until they remembered the four miniature wellies used as pen and pencil holders in their office. They slipped them on the piglet’s feet - and into the mud she happily ploughed. [x]
