Model Condemns Photoshopped Bikini Picture That Made Her Look 4 Sizes Smaller
Meaghan Kausman recently did an underwater bikini shoot and was shocked when the bikini company photoshopped her several sizes smaller before posting it.
Meaghan, whose dad happens to be a body-image expert, did not like this at all. The Australian model had suffered eating disorders in the past, and took to her Instagram to call out the Bikini company. She shared two photos from the shoot, one prior to editing and one from after.
Needless to say, the two were quite different. Not only was her stomach slimmed down, but the rest of her body appears to be retouched, too. Kausman condemned the obvious editing, saying;
My body is a size 8, not a size 4. That’s my body! I refuse to stand by and allow ANY company or person to perpetuate the belief that “thinner is better”.
Innocent Black Man Arrested For Bank Robbery, Handcuffed And Then Left On The Curb
Local police in LA arrested television producer Charles Belk as he was walking from a restaurant, accusing him of “armed bank robbery and accessory to robbery of a Citibank.”
He was then cuffed and left by the side of the road for almost an hour. It took the police a total of 6hrs at the station to let him go, after finally reviewing CCTV that showed he was innocent.
Belk shared his story on Facebook describing the “life altering experience,” saying his only crime was fitting the description of a “tall, bald head, black male.”
WHEN YOU "FIT THE DESCRIPTION"!
It’s one of those things that you hear about, but never think it would happen to you.
On Friday afternoon, August 22nd around 5:20pm, while innocently walking by myself from a restaurant on Wilshire Blvd, to my car up LaCienega Blvd my freedom was taken from me by the Beverly Hills Police Department.
Within seconds, I was detained and told to sit on the curb of the very busy street, during rush hour traffic.
Within minutes, I was surrounded by 6 police cars, handcuffed very tightly, fully searched for weapons, and placed back on the curb.

For #tbt today, there's these photos of actress Halima Abubakar and blogger Stella Dimokokorkus hanging out together. So it seems the two old friends had some recent falling out over a bikini picture, but that has been sorted out now.
Halima shared the pictures as a reminder of how far they've both come, and Stella buried the hatchet. All is well that ends well. With blogging anyway, it's rarely anything personal :)
Can you guess the year the pictures were taken? From the shaved eyebrows and pale lipstick with black lip liner, I say late 90s...

The singer and actress, says in a recent interview that she faced scrutiny again after singing marriage equality anthem, "Same Love" with Macklemore and Mary Lambert at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
If someone ever questions or thinks that, I don't care what you think. It shouldn't matter. And I did get that! People were like, "Is Jennifer trying to tell us something?" Hey, I wasn't, but if you wanna think that, it's all right with me. When I got the call (to do that performance), I was like, "Oh my god, I definitely wanna do this. A powerful statement is being made and I wanna be a part of that."
