Here at Hypoxi HQ we are a little bit delirious – having spent the better part of our Summer working days, wading our way through the wonders of beauty – we’ve flexed our creative muscles, lost a few brain cells and decided that Renaissance women knew a thing or two about the dark side of beauty.
One hundred years from now – I wonder if we will be in awe at our desire to insert plastic and botox into our precious skin?
Regardless – this video has had us laughing every step of the way. We hope it is as funny and enlightening for you!
Share the love -see what your friends think – have we made progress or simply regressed?
Here at Hypoxi and Femme Files, we love a good source of inspiration. Today, we signed up for Pinterest, which is in short, a social media platform that allows users to create ‘moodboards’ consisting of images of people, places or things that inspire them.
After only a couple of hours into it, we have become slightly addicted. Not only are you able to create your own moodboards, but you are also allowed to browse through thousands of other users’ ‘pins’ and ‘moodboards’, ultimately leaving your urge for inspiration completely satisfied.
So far, we have set up four moodboards called:
Beautiful Bodies We Love
Healthy Food We Love
Man’s Best Friends
Inspirational Quotes We Love
So, if you love any of the above things as much as we do (let’s face it – who doesn’t love cute and fluffy animals?), be sure to check out our moodboards on the Hypoxi Pinterest page.
Also, if you have any requests for specific moodboards, please let us know so we can get one cracking to fulfill your inspirational needs!
It’s Friday and I know how hard it is to siphon through your emails and be randomly inspired via my somewhat random thoughts….
As a result I thought I would share with you this hilarious anecdote to advertising.
I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for a good piece of photo shop. Be it humbling or reality biting, it just makes me feel that everyone’s a little less than perfect. (That’s me included!) Indeed I remember a radio interview with Sophie Monk where she was asked about being nervous posing nude for some sordid male mag…her response? Well she knew there was no need for nerves because of the wonders of photo shop. So reassuring. I only wish I could do this to half of the photos I’ve been tagged on Facebook with!
Regardless, here is to a Happy Friday, a wonderful weekend and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed it. If anyone else has cracking examples of food that fails to visually impress I would love to hear your thoughts!…I’m thinking a kebab should have been there…
Right now though, I am off to send this link to my partner in crime. See what he thinks now of his Big Mac.
Having been generously given a bucket load of DVD’s from Thailand (need I say more) filled to the brim with the type of trash relegated for lazy Sunday evenings, my boyfriend and I slipped on “Horrible Bosses”.
What was an initially somewhat funny, became downright ludicrous as we cringed and shrunk in our seats every time scenes between female boss (Jennifer Anniston) and her colleague/mignon (Charlie Day) came onto the screen. Good comedy is funny because it is based or steeped in elements of truth. Not only was this a stupendously unrealistic situation, which negates the whole point of a good comedy, but in my humble opinion it was downright rude and offensive.
Look, I appreciate that this was a trivial Hollywood film meant for apparently trivial minds, but comedy shouldn’t stoop so low as to suggest that an abusive relationship is something someone has to just deal with. Apparently switching the ‘traditional’ roles of female and male power paradigms made this acceptable. That is, by having Jennifer Aniston’s character function as the obnoxious, sexually explicit boss this whole scenario was meant to be P.C?
On another level does the fact that this even made it onto page and then filmed with millions of dollars behind it suggest that this scenario was just funny because women don’t have any sexual power and therefore can’t hurt a man? Does it also reinforce that men, contrary to women, are not tainted by negative sexual encounters? Apparently so.
So perhaps, I am being a masculinist (opposite of feminist!?) , but I think that displaying any form of O.T.T abusive relationship in the name of comedy will just be never funny, regardless of the sex of the people involved and the nature of their relationship.
What do you think? Has anyone else seen this film? Equally shocked as I was? Or am I being a prude?
