Vicky Form is a Mexican lingerie company that has recently released a campaign called ”New commandments for women.”
They read,

1. I shall never call another woman a whore.
2. No one can convince me from not wearing a condom.
3. I shall never get pregnant just to keep a man by my side.
4. No one can judge me based on the number of people I’ve slept with.
5. Is my responsibility to fight for my own (woman) rights.
6. I will not tolerate any kind of violence towards myself.
7. I will not fear or be ashamed if I find myself attracted to woman.
8. It is my decision if i want to get married or not. (and don’t deserve to be judged for it.)

I find this campaign to be a ‘big deal’ for the fact that is released in Mexico. One of the most sexists, closed minded and underdeveloped countries in the world.

Not so many companies take the risk to make advertisements like this because they’re obviously going to be criticized and possibly be affected by it.

Someone is taking the risk, telling the truth, and trying to get to the minds of the people. Sharing the fact that we are all human, and have to be equally treated like it, leading to a better and more developed society.
Its a big step for Mexico, and for women.

WOW THIS IS AMAZING!!

I was reblogging this for Blanca. Then I saw that I was reblogging it from Blanca.

Whatever. I still think it’s awesome.

a possible.

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 00:00:00 -0400

you are chasing an unknown, wobbly, rose-colored possibility. you are not certain of any of it - not even of whether or not you’ll have enough money tomorrow for a full meal or just a slice of pizza. you choose to crash on couches that are faded from the dingy asses of people you don’t know and are pealing of cheap vinyl that scratches the side of your face while you try to rest.

and i’m here… rooted, exposed, hands out, palms facing up. i made baked fish tonight with brown rice and a salad with beets that i roasted in the oven. there are left overs that i suppose i’ll take to work in the morning. the linens on my bed are fresh and smell of nag champa - of me. this bed gives good sleep and accommodates awesome love. the shoes in my closet are scrambled and messy but the mix of my values, emotions and purpose as a woman are well thought out and tended to.

i sit, waiting for you daily. when i feel defeated and start to wander off you hurry over, grabbing my limp arm, pulling me back - saying whatever it takes to guide me back to my waiting place. you seem okay to know that i wring my hands, cry until the pillow tastes salty against my mouth and tell myself awful things when you don’t show up. but you can’t stand the thought of me getting up and walking away from you and your haphazardness. i check for you when i’m sitting in traffic, i check for you when i should be giving the therapist with the difficult case my full attention, i check for you with drippy, soapy hands from the shower i’m in the middle of. but you don’t have anything concrete to say, you only want to make sure i’m still there, waiting.

possibility has no roots and it never waits, never. when you realize that, you’ll come back for me and i’ll be gone. i will have wandered off to a place you don’t recognize and don’t fit inside of. funny how we’re both holding to a possibility. i’m almost certain that it isn’t going to work out the way either one of us want it to. your possibility will disappoint you very soon… you’ll be devastated, feel lost, alone and wonder where you messed up. you’ll come looking for me to smooth your heart over but i will have gone by then. you’ll have to figure it out all by yourself, as i have done, and hope that the disappointment possibility has caused hasn’t left you too afraid to wander off and discover something else.
