A naked woman in California got out of her car on one of the nation’s busiest bridges and began firing a gun Tuesday. The bizarre scene unfolded during rush hour on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, according to the California Highway Patrol. A driver called 911 to report that another driver had brandished a gun at them on the I-80 span, which crosses the San Francisco Bay, around 4:40 p.m., police said. The woman then stopped in the middle of her lane, got out of her car with a knife and began yelling at other drivers, according to cops. She then got back in the car and continued driving to Oakland, but stopped again at a toll plaza and exited the car — this time with a gun and sans clothing, officers told The Post. The unnamed naked woman then turned around and began firing randomly at the occupied cars that were backed up behind her, police said A driver got out of her car naked and started fired a gun into the air Tuesday on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, the California ...

Top Chinese Breakout Brands From Lingerie To Loungewear In 2022 China’s lingerie and loungewear markets are growing rapidly as consumer lifestyles evolve. We take a look at these factors and at China’s top brands in 2022 China’s lingerie and loungewear markets have diversified and seen much growth over the last few years. The lingerie sector is currently valued at $26 billion, while loungewear is expected to grow to $13.36 billion by 2025. The culture of underwear, lingerie and loungewear has experienced huge shifts in the past years in China as international styles mix with and influence local sensibilities. Flourishing sales in these sectors are largely driven by demand from younger consumers, as well as China’s shifting societal values and lifestyles. As women achieve greater independence and grow in earning and buying power, movements like body positivity and diversity have led to demand for a greater range of underwear and undergarment support styles from the likes of Neiwai and C...

12 months, Hawkes sought to rectify this. She

 12 months, Hawkes sought to rectify this. She travelled around regional Victoria and her home of Melbourne photographing women aged 50 and above. All the women were to be  ptotally nOverude, except – in many cases – for a prop, used to cover their faces, “to protect the women from their images being placed online and being trolled or losing their jobs,” she explains. “Some of the women were teachers or prison officers, and needed to be anonymous.” The results of Hawkes’s work is a selection of 428 photographs called 500 Strong (500 portraits had been the aim until Covid got in the way). The work is on show as part of the Flesh After Fifty exhibition that opened in Melbourne on Sunday, a program which includes sculpture, multimedia, film and talks about changing perceptions of older women in art. After Hawkes made the call-out for models, which was inclusive for trans and non-binary women, a wide range came forward. “People had all sorts of reasons to do it. Some people though...

The Power of Being Nice”

Image
“The Power of Being Nice” Would you describe the scenes of my arrest to constitute that description? Being nice? Even so, those were the words that were said to me by a police liaison officer as the power under which I was being asked to move from my position, sat on the tracks beside platform D of St Peter’s Square Metrolink stop. Does that sound like a description of the storm of trampling boots that followed? Does that sound like policing by consent? Does that sound like the public humiliation of being stripped to my underwear and dragged across the floor? On Saturday the 27th March, I attended a protest for the Kill The Bill movement. It was two weeks since the Metropolitan Police had broken up a peaceful vigil for Sarah Everard, arresting several attendees, and less than a week since Avon and Somerset Police had masqueraded as postal workers to enter protesters homes. I, like many others, was there to show solidarity because I’ve experienced the firm hand of the patriarchy and the...
