I don’t know where this is from but Gap had one for 19.99 with 50% off (so 10$) yesterday (my friend sent to me to talk shit about our mom’s horrible fashion memories from the 80s! ). Our vulvas deserve better in summer than too tight denim chafing!

To be frank, if she spent more time focused on :

1. Worrying about the bodies and mental health of women in Sudan, Ukraine, DRC and Palestine ,
2. The body autonomy of women and trans kids being threatened around the world,
3. Stopping partnerships with problematic brands that are anti body autonomy and misogynistic
4. Recognizing her extreme privilege to have tattooed eyebrows, fake long blonde hair and procedures as upkeep (on top of two homes, $$$, white privilege) ,

Then maybe she’d stop caring about her vessel! Almost ALL of my friends bodies (who have had kids or not) look exactly like this at 40+. We are NOT out here focusing on our bodies, but we are actively calling out people like her who give us 40+ crowd a bad rep of being vapid consumers stuck in egotistical high school mentality. Also, my friends who work out, compete and train for things have super kickass physical bodies but they are OLDER! Nobody looks the same as they age. And maybe I just have a better family or friends who don’t talk about our bodies, and she’s stuck with an unsupportive spouse, family and friends who let her make this her “thing” but they really do need to tell her she’s fine, it’s a body, it’s nothing worth singling out, and that she could be more and know her worth without a focus on her vessel.

Omg!!! I saw a bunch shoved in a deck box bin (I was buying bins/storage) in seasonal !!! I was looking in them to see if it (deck box) was watertight when I saw them. So this leads me to believe a fellow snarker lives where I live 😂 (or someone wants to store them for when they are marked down?) I left them where they were.

Just buy from Aisle (periodaisle on IG) . They are awesome. They started the business in 1993 and were Luna pads back then. They’ve been in the business 30 years and can’t compete with companies like Kn*x but they are superior in every way. They’ve done incredible things and you can read about them at www.periodaisle.com . It’s a company that needs saving and deserves recognition for coming before its copycat companies.

It’s giving me grade 9 free writing session in English class with a 5 minute time limit

IYKYK 😂

I’m just waiting for her or her friends to start endorsing those scummy reverse mortgages

I’m sorry this has happened to you. You’re not in the wrong for calling this out. People going through trauma from natural disasters don’t appreciate these types of movies, just like SA victims don’t like hearing that consent is annoying. This is why it’s important for content creators to give content warnings for serious issues (like natural disasters, discussing homicide etc) if they care about their followers.

We still are masking and are very cautious due to my major health issues and past surgeries (and I’m always advocating for my fellow disabled friends) . Nana Kim saying this is awesome:). I’ll give credit always where credit is due.

You hit the nail on the head (and then countersunk the nail, filled it, sanded, primed and painted it properly, unlike some other people we know 😂).

I don’t think any of the friends of TBP are on here, but commenting would mean they read and look at feedback, and possibly want to snark). If if they are here: Free Palestine! Land back! Learn about Sudan and DRC! Boycott Coke! Boycott Tim’s & McD’s! Speak up about consent! Call your friends out if they think consent is annoying! Call your friends out on plagiarizing! If your accounts are public, make them safe spaces! Tell your friends it’s unsafe to post their kids’ whereabouts all the time!

But if they aren’t here, Bri has done a lot of work that is a copycat (like the bubble gum thing). I’m in the field and am paid well for what I do , and I’ve not lost out on business from Bri doing what she does, so her getting jobs doesn’t affect me. I’ve also done a lot of free projects, and I never post or allow photos or articles about pieces if it’s a nod to another piece (for a private commission) and I must disclose original artists for any variations I’ve done on different artwork.

I think some of her work does have merit, but it’s just so weird and outdated to see pretty, white, thin, cisgender women (or white presenting, because I don’t know Bri’s background) constantly “hired” for things, and the same friend group showing up to each event.

I’m sure Bri is a pleasant human with a passion for art, and that’s so cool! Art is awesome. Nobody needs perfection in all pieces, but sometimes suggesting craftspeople who are more capable is a way to uplift fellow artists and ensure the piece is done properly. And then, if there were a job that were more suited to her abilities than they would in turn, do the same for her. If I’m asked to do something I haven’t perfected I’ll bring a friend or fellow artist on and work with them, or pass along an artist’s name and simply say “I know someone who is more suited to this project”

Thanks J. I’m laughing at the replies to my comments on the art (from an account that is defending her art - an account started 2 days ago on lemmy who have only posted about this Polly pocket “art”😂).

As an artist myself with my art featured on albums, billboards, charities, products, restaurant walls, etc, I feel upset when I see really bad quality praised (because of B’s status, not talent). If I hired someone to collab on something and I saw the drips, gaps, rough surfaces I would not accept it. It should be a back and forth process for collabs so it’s on Polly pocket too for allowing this poor craftsmanship to happen. It’s okay if companies tell people they need to do some revisions- it’s part of the process. Not every first draft of my work is the “final product”, and I’d be mildly insulted if people just accepted my first drafts or prototypes. There should be no walking on eggshells when it comes to showing your artwork, and feedback about quality is important. Art is subjective, but quality is not.

If a friend was giving this to my child as a gift? Awesome! But a paid project? I think as artists we can say : there are others who would do a far better job, and if it weren’t B , it would get called out too. If there weren’t “influencers” showing up and covering this, it would be called out.
