Today I’ll be sharing the outfit I wore on the day that creepy man decided to stare at me with gross intentions yet again. Is it because I was wearing tights that looked like thigh high socks? Is it because I was wearing a sequin bow? Is it because I was wearing massive heels? Is it because I just looked more ‘dressed up’ than the majority of people in the area? My brain almost reaches exploding point when I try to understand why some men think that it is their right to just blatantly make girls and women feel like objects because of a certain way they may be dressed. I just don’t understand. I don’t dress the way I do for anyone except myself.

I recently ordered a few lipsticks from Illamasqua, I currently own a black lipstick from the brand and guys, their lipstick is so good. It’s definitely the best quality lipstick I own. I’m looking forward to receiving the new shades I ordered. Anyway, I didn’t bring this up to mainly discuss lipstick. While I was on their website, I noticed that they supported a charity called S.O.P.H.I.E, I was intrigued and decided to find out what it was about. The story I read horrified me. Readers from England and Europe might already know about this. The charity name stands for, Stamp Out Prejudice, Hatred and Intolerance Everywhere. The girl the charity is named after, Sophie Lancaster, was kicked to death in 2007 while she was walking home with her boyfriend, for no reason other than dressing like a goth. Her boyfriend was attacked first and Sophie shielded him, in an effort to protect him. She was then attacked herself. Both Sophie and her boyfriend went into comas after the attack. Her boyfriend survived, but tragically, Sophie never recovered and her life support was switched off. This poor girl had her life taken away because she looked different. Isn’t it terrifying that dressing differently could make you a target for the worst type of people that exist?

Reading stories like that make me realise how fucking disgusting the human race can be. I feel so bad for her mother, how could you ever feel that justice has been served after an event like that? What a horrific, terrible way to die. What’s even worse, is that apparently the youths who went ahead with this vicious attack, had absolutely no remorse, apparently the main offender was joking and laughing with his mother when he was being questioned by police. Ugh, the whole thing just makes me sick. You can read more about the charity here.
