having managed the blog for about two months, 'fl@me or fr@me' has become a feature for me to evaluate my own blog against the material that other fellow bloggers put out. it is somewhat a personal benchmark. each week, i sift through about five to ten blogs before deciding which one to feature and it is only when the final line is written that my conclusion is determined.

| Fashion Slop |
this week, however, is slightly different. the moment i read about the blogger, i know that i am (1) not going to be friends with this blogger (2) it's a 'fl@me' regardless of content. why the rage and displeasure? read on...
if you look at the history of the world in the last century, the state of sexuality has made the least progress. i am not just talking about lgbt (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transexuals) rights but even the gender stereotypes. people are still battling multiple prejudices in many societies so don't get me started about the state of men, women and lgbt. am i about to encourage ladies to burn the bra or wave the rainbow flag? nope. however, i am just disgusted by people who advocate stereotypes. some of you might think that i am being overly harsh since he is probably seeking a state of contrast. well, use your own cultural or social background instead of basing it on gender stereotypes.
the creative brain behind fashion slop is ryan pak, someone who declares himself as the 'gayest straight guy'. so what is 'gayest'? obviously, there is a certain prejudice and stereotype that he is referring to.

| gayest of them all? |
anyway, if you are into lengthy, floppy hair and layering your clothes, welcome to the world of 'gayest'! for someone who is a fashion student, his mindset is shocking. the world of fashion challenges boundaries, breaks barriers and embraces differences but ryan pak shows none.
so here's my advice: stay in school because your ignorance has fried your brains. (oh! by the way, these icons are all openly gay. ryan pak, anyone you find 'gay-er' than you?)
