Contest Alert: American Rag – All Access Contest

Chelsea Rae Simmons | Contests,Fashion,Magazines | Tuesday, 09 March 2010
Pink Rock Candy, Seventeen Magazine and Macy's American Rag All Access contest American Rag, a private label at Macy’s, and Seventeen have teamed up to find three Style Scouts in the American Rag – All Access Contest.

The Style Scouts will be the face of American Rag and spread their goodness and promote positive self-image to all who will listen.

To enter, create a video that shows your personal style and music inspirations/aspirations and submit it here by March 16, 2010.

Three lucky ladies will win and all expenses paid trip to New York City or Los Angeles, the opportunity to model for an American Rag advertisement seen in the September 2010 issue of Seventeen, the chance to star in an American Rag All – Access video, and VIP access to report for a Warped Tour 2010 date of your choosing.

I’m not sure if I would be more excited about the ad seen in Seventeen or the VIP Warped Tour reporting. I guess it depends who is playing Warped this summer— why haven’t I checked yet?

Curves Cause More Controversy

In fashion, there will always be a newer, hotter trend, designer, or style icon, but it’s the controversies that really get people buzzing. First it was all about the lack of diversity in the fashion industry, but it seems plus size is the new black for 2010.

The lines are drawn, skinny vs. curvy, but I’m not sure which side to take. V Magazine is playing the part of Vogue Italia with their Size Issue which hits newsstands January 14th, 2010. The images from the Terry Richardson shot “One Size Fits All” photoshoot pits Jacquelyn Jablonski against Crystal Renn in a zero vs. not zero, no-holds-barred, pose-off designer duds, in an attempt to prove designer clothes will look good on anyone— who can afford them, that is.

Now, they’ve just released a second photoshoot entitled “Curves Ahead,” and it wasn’t the pictures many of the models wearing next to nothing and looking fierce as all hell that piqued my interest. It was the comments I read on OhNoTheyDidn’t, the first of which was “gross” followed by a “mte” (my thoughts exactly), that made made me stop and think.

Since when was it not okay to have a full figure and be proud to show it off? Isn’t confidence supposed to be sexy?

To be honest, I know what designers mean when they say clothes hang better on tiny, tall girls, but I also realize it’s unhealthy and sometimes down-right impossible for most girls to be a double-zero. I’m not saying I’m about to buy my official team curvy girl “Booty is Beauty” t-shirt because, let’s face it, I’m not really all that curvy, but I do think women can be beautiful no matter their jean size.

The most disheartening comment was written by someone who claimed to also be plus size, “as a plus sized person…this array makes me want to go puke up my coffee and crisps.” A comment that led some to express shock, while the commentor went on to say, “yes well i have lots of hate for my own body. seeing it in picture form only makes me feel worse…i’m munching on new years candies and silently berating myself while enjoying and loathing every bite!”

It scares me that western culture’s ideal of beauty has become so skewed women not only loathe their own curves, but other’s because of what it represents to them. Part of me feels as if V Magazine is only giving this size debate lip service to cash in on a new trendy controversy, but another part of me hopes this makes some small impact not only on the fashion industry but on all of western society.

More V, Please!
