The Vagenda: A Zero Tolerance Guide to the Media Book Launch Competition!
Win one of five copies of The Vagenda: A Zero Tolerance Guide to the Media
PLUS Who Made Your Pants? goodies!
To celebrate the publication of The Vagenda: A Zero Tolerance Guide to the Media by Holly Baxter and Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, we are offering five lucky winners the chance to win a copy of this laugh out-loud, brilliantly bolshy book! A rallying call to girls and women of all ages, it asks the deceptively simple question: why can’t we have a media that reflects who we actually are?
At Who Made Your Pants, we want to generate conversation and create a community of women who are proud to wear amazing pants! We are forever being told that women's underwear is for everyone else, and not for the person wearing it. Magazines telling us to wear a G-string and heels and do a little lap dance, to underwear as outerwear being the norm for pop stars. We think it’s time women wore underwear for themselves.
To be in with a chance of winning this great prize, simply head over to our Twitter @whomadeyour or Facebook www.facebook.com/whomadeyourpants and tell us about the worst pants you’ve ever worn, or the biggest pants mistake you’ve ever made. Use hashtag #badpantsday
As students, Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett and Holly Baxter spent a lot of time laughing at magazine pieces entitled things like '50 Sex Tips to Please Your Man' (particularly the ones that encouraged bringing baked goods into the bedroom). They laughed at the ridiculous ‘circles of shame’ detailing minor weight fluctuations of female celebs, or the shocking presence of armpit hair. And at the articles telling you how to remove cellulite from your arse using coffee granules. But when they stopped laughing, they started to feel a bit uneasy. Was this relentless hum about vajazzles and fat removal just daft – at worst a bit patronising – or was something more disturbing going on?
And so, in February 2012 the two undergraduates started a blog. They called it ‘The Vagenda’, a term they stole from a newspaper article about women in the workplace with a hidden agenda.
The Vagenda quickly went global, with 60,000 hits in its first 24 hours, and 7 million in its first year. It turned out that Rhiannon and Holly weren’t the only people who were feeling a bit uncomfortable about the sidebar of shame. And from underwear shoots that got on their tits, or sex tips that stuck in their throat, everybody wanted to talk about it.
