March is Women's History Month

March is Women's History Month.  We'll be highlighting some of the women featured on New Mexico's




 roadside markers.  Text provided by our colleagues at New Mexico Historic Preservation Division 

Women of Cochití, Cochití Pueblo

Women in Cochití are known for reviving the historic figurative tradition now referred to as Storytellers, adult clay figurines surrounded by children. The efforts of these women have bloomed into a vibrant cottage industry, inspiring many potters and have greatly enhanced the economic welfare of Cochiti. Storytellers are now widely collected as art, appearing in major museums and private collections around the world.

Marker Location: Pueblo of Cochití, NM Hwy22, Mile Marker 12.33

The moment a woman browses the supermarket aisles ‘naked from the waist down’ leaving shoppers stunned AS we've seen more than once, there is a good reason you should probably not buy leggings and other garments in the same colour as your skin. But in case you needed a reminder, learn from this fashionista who left fellow shoppers and people online stunned after appearing ''naked from the waist down''. The  The moment a woman browses the supermarket aisles ‘naked from the waist down’ leaving shoppers stunnedI’m a size 16 with 38J boobs and made three easy Halloween costumes without buying anythingI’d been in the gym for two hours when someone informed me of an  unfortunate issue - it made me want to cryI thought it would be a good idea to get a henna tattoo on holiday - it was a nightmare, 2 years later I'm still scarredI work in IKEA & my biggest pet peeve is spending my entire shift sorting out the ‘jokes’ customers have left on displayYou could have a...

Complete Guide to Red Light Districts in Manila

Complete Guide to Red Light Districts in Manila From what I can see in my website statistics is that most of you guys find Philippines Redcat by looking for all different sorts of nightlife and women related search phrases on Google. More specifically: Where to meet Filipina girls both during daytime and nighttime and where to meet both hookers and “normal” girls who are not primarily out for money. So today I thought it’s a good idea to create an overview guide of the different adult entertainment quarters in the capital. Manila has four foreigner-oriented red light districts:Each of these areas are quite unique in the types of bars and girls they have. It’s not like Bangkok where 90% of all bars in Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy and Patpong are go go bars. They don’t even call them go go bars over here but bikini bars, and that’s because the girls don’t get naked anymore but wear tight bikinis. Don’t worry though, if you know what you are doing you still get to see some nipples, just continu...

PHOTOS: Why These World War II Sex Slaves Are Still Demanding Justice

PHOTOS: Why These World War II Sex Slaves Are Still Demanding Justice Fedencia Nacar David holds her photo for an application to work as a maid.  She was 15. A year before, a Japanese soldier sliced her ear and threatened to behead her if she didn't go to a garrison with him; she was raped over 10 days. "It still hurts," she says. "I was innocent. Why did that happen to me?" She kept her past from her children until "comfort women" began  speaking out in the 1990s. Narcisa Claveria will turn 89 this year, two days before Christmas. Stepping onto the veranda of the family apartment, she takes a moment to check on her 92-year-old husband, who eyes visitors with a weary look. The couple lives in the hill town of Antipolo, an hour outside Manila, in the Philippines. Outwardly, she is grandmotherly, sweet and tranquil. But when memories from 75 years ago are tapped, her mood changes. Narcisa begins to cry as she thinks back to her childhood in the Philippin...

Why Do Women Send Nudes? Why Do Men? It's Complicated, A New Study Finds.

Why Do Women Send Nudes? Why Do Men? It's Complicated, A New Study Finds. Sexting is a universal language: Jeff Bezos does it (albeit awkwardly; remember that “I love you, alive girl” text?), Rihanna does it, teens do it (though it’s a smaller percentage than you’d think, given the worried headlines).  The question of why we send dirty images and texts doesn’t have an easy answer: Can it all be chalked up to sheer horniness, or is there some deeper ulterior motive that drives us to tap “send” on that nude?   In a new study, University of Arizona researcher Morgan Johnstonbaugh asked that very question: What motivates young people to send an explicit text in the first place ― and does the motivation differ for men and women?  To conduct the study, Johnstonbaugh, a sociology doctoral student, had more than 1,000 college students from seven universities fill out an online survey asking them about their rationale for sexting. She looked at two primary motivators: outside...
