| Asos ties up deal with Silly Girl Club clothes firm - BBC News Posted: 31 May 2019 10:10 AM PDT  Media playback is unsupported on your device A woman who makes colourful clothes from retro duvet covers with cartoon designs has landed a deal with online retailer Asos. Nikki Millar's business Silly Girl Club is now on the firm's marketplace. It comes after the publication of a video about her work led to her website selling out. Despite Asos being quizzed by MPs investigating so-called "fast fashion", Ms Millar said the deal was "something I couldn't turn down". Ms Millar, 29, from Leicester, said she had been working from 07:00 to midnight each day since the video went live, with friends and family helping to cut patterns and pack parcels. She said: "I have not had a day off since the video went up but I love it." Asos got in touch with Ms Millar last year about launching her business on the marketplace, but she was too busy with her online shop at the time. After the video's release, it contacted her again and set a date to launch Silly Girl Club a week later. The company was one of a number of retailers asked by MPs how they could justify such low prices. Ms Millar said she hoped to make fashion more sustainable. "If someone is buying an item from me, they are buying one less item that hasn't been recycled," she said. "Asos has a bigger audience than I could possibly achieve, so an opportunity to utilise their platform and give a window to sustainable fashion was something I couldn't turn down. "When stores realise they have competition with independent brands being able to be successful, hopefully they will wake up to the necessity for change."

| Booksmart Redefines the Going-Out Outfit - The Cut Posted: 28 May 2019 01:43 PM PDT  Photo: Francois Duhamel/© 2019 ANNAPURNA PICTURES, LLC. From Cher Horowitz's Alaïa in Clueless to the red minidress in She's All That to the refreshingly real prom dresses of Blockers, getting-ready outfits occupy a special place in the teen movie canon. If teen movies are about the tumultuous process of forging an identity on the cusp of adulthood, the going-out-outfit is a way to bridge the gap between a character's day-to-day reality and how they ultimately wish to be perceived. It's a symbol of metamorphosis and an act of conscious self-creation. And usually, it involves a tube top. Knowing that Olivia Wilde's Booksmart has been hailed as a reinvention of the teen movie genre, I was excited to see how it would play with this trope. What would Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever), the two type-A heroines of the film, choose as the perfect outfits for their first ever high-school party? Refreshingly, there was no angst, no handwringing, no extended getting-ready montage. Instead, the girls efficiently rooted through Amy's drawers — neatly divided into categories like "fall clothes" and "protest items" — and selected two baggy, matching navy-blue boiler suits. If you are an adult woman living in New York City, you are probably well-acquainted with the jumpsuit they chose. You may have bought it from this very site. To be clear, this is not a silky party jumpsuit. It is comfortable, utilitarian, fuss-free, and does not pander to the male gaze. It is the uniform of Brooklyn moms popping over to the farmers market to enjoy the last of ramp season, and of 30-somethings freelancers who need a single look to get them from their morning CSA pickup to their evening panel at The Wing. My colleague Sarah Spellings happened to be wearing a similar (albeit long-sleeved) version of this item today, made by Rachel Comey. I asked what it means to her. "If you have a cool jumpsuit, people act like you're the zenith of fashion, though it takes no effort," she says. "If you're a girl looking ahead to college so much that you forget to enjoy high school, you probably read Sally Rooney or follow the right cool Brooklyn people on Instagram who dress in that lazy millennial way." Teenage dressing is meant to be fun and playful. It's meant to feature sequins and feathers and outfit dimensions your parents would disapprove of. (To be fair, the girls do later get to wear sequins, but these looks were hardly their first choice, nor are they film's most memorable ensemble). At that age, going out is always An Event, with a whole genre of clothing (the fabled going-out top) created to support it. In choosing these jumpsuits, Molly and Amy are subverting the standard teen party uniform and asserting their maturity. They may be in their teens, but their soul age is 33 and a half. They are on their own timeline. They are opting out. And yet also, they're opting in — to dressing like each other. Unlike Mean Girls' plastics, who impose a uniform of conformity on their members, Amy and Molly choose to dress alike as a way of asserting their solidarity. They are a team, and this is their team uniform. As Emily Yoshida wrote on Vulture, "recently, a new archetype of late-2010s teendom has begun to take shape — the socially conscious busybody, the walking #thread, Tracy Flicks with Netflix accounts, pre-THC Abbi and Ilanas, neither loser nor winner but Type A all the way" and Booksmart "feels like an official coronation of the type." It's the level of care that the film pays to every little detail of the girls' lives — from their Elizabeth Warren 2020 bumper stickers to the women's march protest posters on Amy's wall to, yes, those all-too-familiar jumpsuits — that elevate the characters beyond 'woke teen' archetypes and make them feel truly vital and lived-in.  |

An 18-year-old male allegedly raped a 16-year-old female in Pensacola that he met through Snapchat. Christopher Walmsley, of Pensacola, was arrested Tuesday and charged with forced sexual battery. According to his arrest report, a sheriff deputy arrived at an Escambia County home on Tuesday to query a 16-year-old girl. She was visibly upset and crying and told the deputy that she'd met Walmsley through SnapChat. She explained, earlier that day, she had invited him over to watch television at her grandmother's house.

They both sat down on the edge of her bed, and Walmsley started to kiss her. The 16-year-old recounted having told Walmsley that she didn't want to have sex, but "he kept going," the report stated. She informed the deputy that she told Walmsley a second time to stop, but "he got on top of her," the report stated. The 16-year-old accused Walmsley of rape. She later told a crime scene technician that Walmsley choked her with his hand during the rape, according to the report. Thank you!

Walmsley had not turned off his Snapchat's locator function. The deputy opened the girl's Snapchat and used her application to locate Walmsley. The app showed that the young man was stationary within the 3600 block of Wellington Road, the report stated. Deputies found Walmsley, transported him to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office where all his clothes were seized for evidence before he was taken to jail, the report stated. Investigators found the corner of a condom wrapper in one of his confiscated pockets. County records indicate, Walmsley was not given a chance for bond, and as of Friday morning, he remained in custody at the Escambia County Jail.
