Pleasure, my name is WOMAN

Today I woke up wanting to never wake up, the sun is shining out there, but here it is so cold. They touched me. In the worst way you can touch a woman. It was a night of partying. Dance. Passion. Youth. But all was lost in a cup. A drink. A sip. My boyfriend doped me. He drugged me. I remember our first conversations, the first kiss, the first hug, I thought that those arms, I would find protection, I was wrong. The crime last night has no forgiveness. In my mind the lights gleamed, everything revolved. I heard voices. Chuckles. DEBAUCHERY! When I woke up I was naked, penetrated, violated.

30 animals over me
30 monsters
30 animals bogeymen
30 nightmares
30 MEN.
I felt small, helpless. I called by my mother, but nobody listened to me, no one paid attention to me. They devoured my body. They hurt me more and more, and the more I cried, more they liked. My father was not there to defend me. I wanted to run, escape to under my bed and hide. I BLACKED OUT. I woke move in a corner, naked, without soul, without life, only PAIN. Such a strong pain. I could not even cry. The bogeyman had gone, the monster was not there anymore, the legion of demons had gone, the men were gone. But I was still in hell.

Hug my mother no longer brings relief, the protection of my father can't save me more, I can hide under the bed, I can hide anywhere, THE PAIN WILL NOT PASS. WILL NOT STOP. WILL NOT GO AWAY. My soul was raped that night, my heart was penetrated, my mind is full of cum, my mouth is with a bitter taste. I know that life will continue. I'll study. Work. Maybe I'll come back to smile, my body will heal, the wound will heal, who knows I may go back dating someone new. But, my soul and my spirit, they were taken, they were stolen, dilacerated, they turned gray.

When a man rapes a woman, he's raping a girl, a girl, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a grandmother. I cried out to God. I cried for my parents. I cried for help, nut the monsters have not heard. It has no soul, it has no heart. They are everywhere, in the bus, in the subway, in the market, in school, at work, inside our home. Who can save us? I don't know.

Pleasure, my name is WOMAN
and I died at 16.

What can we learn from the son of Will Smith, who at 17 it is women's clothing campaign star

A century ago, any would be horrified to see a woman wearing pants around. They were, at that time, a privilege of men and a sensible girl would know it very well.

It was during World War II that the pants became part of women's wardrobes that worked - and were only introduced in the fashion around the year 60. However, it seems that despite all this history, some clothing items are still associated with only one genre: yes, we are talking of skirts and dresses, considered women's clothing.

But they will even have clothes that belong to one gender? The new action brand Louis Vuitton is breaking this stereotype to invite the actor and musician Jaden Smith, only 17 years to star in the launch campaign of its women's collection for summer 2016. Jaden is the son of actor Will Smith and purchase and wear clothes considered feminine without calling the taboos. In fact, he made it clear that it considers that differentiate clothes by gender is something outdated...

Last year, in his Instagram account, the teenager posted: "I went to (store) TopShop buy some women's clothes... or rather, 'clothing'" - which shows that, despite their age, boldness is not lacking for him.

Check out some of the models with which Jaden already paraded around - and a preview of the new brand campaign - and learn from him this lesson: what we see and we have for granted are only social constructs, which, in most cases, it is worth questioning:

"OITNB is not really appropriate for a kid with 7 years old watch. But I was shown a photo of Laverne to M. on the cover of a magazine. Somehow she knew that Laverne was important and it was also a transsexual.

We arrived early enough to get seats right in front, and when Laverne came in the crowd went wild. M, was super happy cheering and clapping.

I think M. was one of the only kids in the audience. But the message is and that she understood it: here is someone who is talented, intelligent, famous, beloved by crowds. And she's also like you.

They had multiple entries, because she thought Cox was going through one of those doors? M. ignored my question and was alone at the other end of the room, his back to me.

But M. know what to do. She went straight to hug in Laverne, who crouched to M. eye level to meet her. I heard what she said to my daughter "Remember dear, be trans is beautiful."

Thank you life.''

The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle

Read the first chapter of The Hidden Oracle below

Many punches in the face

I wanted to decimate all

Be deadly, that bag!

MY NAME IS APOLLO. I was a god.

In my 4612 years did a lot of things. punished with a plague that the Greeks besieged Troy. Babe Ruth blessed with three home runs in the fourth game of the World 1926. I poured my anger against Britney Spears Video Music Awards 2007.

But in my immortal life, I had never made a hard landing in

a dumpster.

Not sure how it happened.

I only know that when I woke up was falling. Skyscrapers turned, appearing and disappearing from my view. Flames came out of my body. I tried to fly. I tried to turn cloud, teleport me to another place, making thousands of other things that should be easy for me, but I just kept falling. I fell in a narrow space between two buildings and BAM!

Is there anything sadder than the sound of a god crashing against a

pile of plastic bags filled with trash?

I was there moaning and suffering. My nostrils burned with the stench of spoiled bologna and used diapers. My ribs seemed broken,

though it should not be possible.

My mind was restless and confused, but a memory came to light - the voice of my father, Zeus: YOUR FAULT. YOUR PUNISHMENT

Only then I understand what happened to me. And I cried in despair.

If I, who am the god of poetry, was not able to describe what I felt

at that time, as you mere mortals could understand? Imagine having

his clothes torn and being hit by a jet of water in front of a crowd laughing. Imagine freezing water filling his mouth and his

lungs, hurting the skin, turning his knuckles in an amorphous mass.

Imagine feeling helpless, embarrassed, completely vulnerable, naked public and brutally everything that makes you be you. My humiliation was worse than that.

YOUR FAULT, resounded the voice of Zeus in my head.

- No! - I cried, heartbroken. - Is not true! Please!

Silence. Around me, rusted fire escapes zigzagged

facade above, covered by gray winter sky and pitiless.

I tried to remember the details of my sentence. My father went on to say how long this punishment would last? What should I do to fall again in thanks of it?

My memory was complete chaos. I could hardly remember what

It was the appearance of Zeus, much less why he decided to dump me on Earth. There was a war with the Giants, something. The gods were caught unawares, they were humiliated and almost defeated.

But one thing I was sure: my out unjust punishment. Zeus needed to blame someone, and of course choose the most beautiful god,

talented and popular of the Pantheon: I.

I lay in the trash, looking at the label on the inside of the bucket:

FOR COLLECTING, CALL 1-555-STINK.

Zeus will reconsider, I told myself. He's just trying to give me a

scare. At any time, you will take me back to Olympus and get me out, not before giving me a moral lesson.

- It's ... - My voice sounded empty and desperate. - And that's it.

I tried to get up. I wanted to be standing when Zeus appeared to ask

apologies. My ribs throbbed. My stomach tightened. held the edge of the bucket and managed to drag me out. I fell on top one shoulder, which hit the asphalt with a bang.

- Ouuch. - I whimpered in pain. - Get up. Get up.

Standing was not easy. My head was spinning. I almost fainted

with the effort. I looked around and saw that I was in a dead end.

Literally. The fifteen meters, was a street with dirty windows that

housed the office of a bail agent and a pawnshop. I was somewhere in the west of Manhattan, assumed, or perhaps in Crown Heights,

Brooklyn. Zeus should even be very angry with me.

I inspected my new body. I appeared to be a caucasian teenager

male, wearing sneakers, jeans and a green polo shirt. Much not funny. I felt nauseous, weak and so, so human.

I'll never understand how you mortals, tolerate it. You go through life all trapped in a sack of meat, unable to enjoy the pleasures more simple as turning into a hummingbird or dissolve into pure light. And now, heaven help me, I was one of you, just a bag

meat in the universe.

Rummaged in his pockets, hoping to still be with the key to my

chariot of the sun. Nothing. I found a cheap nylon wallet with hundred dollars (money for my first lunch as mortal, perhaps) and

a provisional driver's license in the state of New York with a picture of a goofy teenager curly hair that no way could be me,named Lester Papadopoulos. The cruelty of Zeus knew no bounds!

I looked inside the bucket, hoping that my bow, my quiver and my

lyre had fallen to earth with me. I would be already happy just with my harmonica.There was nothing.

I took a deep breath. Cheer up, I told myself. I have kept some of

my divine skills. Things could be worse.

A hoarse voice shouted:

- Hey, Cade, take a look at that sucker!

There were two young people blocking the alley exit: a stocky with platinum blonde hair, the other tall and red-haired. Both wore sweatshirts and baggy pants. To complete, had his neck covered in tattoos. All that remained was the word OFFENDER written in bold letters on the forehead of each.

The redhead stuck looking at the wallet that was in my hand.

- Take it easy, Mikey. The guy here looks pretty nice. - He smiled and pulled one belt hunting knife. - In fact, I bet he wants to give all

his money for us, isn't it?

* * *

I blame my bewilderment at what happened next.

I knew my immortality had been taken from me, but I still considered the mighty Apollo! It is impossible to change the way of thinking with ease with which one can say, become a Snow Leopard.

Moreover, in previous times when Zeus punished me making me

mortal (yes, it has happened twice more), I kept my strength

outsized and at least part of my divine powers. I assumed that this timealso it would be.

I would not allow two deadly ruffians would lead to Lester Papadopoulos' wallet.

So I straightened all and hoped that Cade and Mikey stay

intimidated before my actual stance and divine beauty (qualities that never could be taken from me, regardless of what the photo showed in driver's license). I ignored the hot slurry from the hopper, which ran down my neck.

- I am Apollo - announced. - You mortals have three choices: you can make a tribute to me, run away or can be destroyed.

I wanted my words echoed through the alley, shake off the New York buildings and do the heavens rained smoking disgrace. None of this happened. When I uttered the word destroyed, my voice failed.

Cade, the red-haired boy grinned even wider. I thought about how it would be fun if I could do the tattoos snake around his neck

to life and strangle him to death.

- What do you think, Mikey? - He asked his friend. - We must

honor this guy?

Mikey scowled. With ruffled blond hair, small and cruel eyes and the body stocky, he remembered the monster that terrorized nut

Calydon in the good old days.

- I'm not much to do homage today, Cade. - His voice sounded like someone who ate lit cigarettes. - What were the other options

same?

- To run away? - Cade said.

- No - replied Mikey.

- To be destroyed?

Mikey laughed with derision.

- How about we destroy him, then?

Cade threw the knife into the air and grabbed the cord.

- I like that idea. Come on?

I put my wallet in my back pocket. I raised fists. I did not think it would be fine butchering mortals to turn meatloaf, but he was sure that it would not be a problem for me. Even in my weakened state, I would much stronger than any human.

- I told you - I said. - My powers are beyond the understanding of

you.

Mikey snapped his fingers.

- Yup.

He jumped forward.

When I was close, I advanced. I put all my anger that punch. It should have been enough to vaporize Mikey and leave a mark in the form of delinquent on asphalt.

But he bent down, which was very annoying.

I staggered forward. Let's agree that when Prometheus prepared

you humans using clay, made a working pig. Deadly legs are

ungainly. I tried to compensate and use my endless reserves of agility, but Mikey gave me a kick in the back. I fell and hit my divine face on the ground.

My nostrils flared as if they were air bags. My ears popped. A coppery taste flooded my mouth. I rolled over, grunting, and saw the two offenders fogged looking at me.

- Mikey - Cade said - you are realizing the power of this guy?

- No - he replied Mikey. - I'm not understanding.

- Fools! - I groaned. - I will destroy you!

- Oh, of course it will. - Cade threw the knife away. - But I think before we end up with you.

The boy raised his boot well above my face, and the world went black.

Do not waste time, buy and read this book to find out more about "The Trials of Apollo."

Creator of Faking It reveals how would be the series finale

Without having a chance to wrap up the story in the way he wanted, Carter Covington, creator of Faking It, wrote an open letter to fans of the serie, telling the end of Karma (Katie Stevens) and Amy (Rita Volk). Check out the letter:


Dear Faking It's fandom,

I wrote Faking It to cure me. Growing up as a gay teenager in the closet in North Carolina, I fell in love with some of my best friends. Unlike Amy, I never said a word, because the rejection seemed inevitable. Needless to say that all these friendships ended. The journey of Amy was my chance to relive all those feelings in the safety of a script. It might be brave enough to take the risks that I never could. Amy could tell Karma that he loved her, and I could rewrite my past.

It was always my intention to make "Karmy" happen in our last season. Karma finally understand that her possessiveness by Amy could be a sign of a deeper feelings for her best friend. It would be difficult to share these feelings with Amy, knowing she could not raise expectations on her friend again, unless she was sure.

Unable to let another chance go, Karma kiss Amy impetuously, and a new moment of "Wow..." "I know..." kindled this new phase in the relationship of them. If it makes you deliriously happy, then please stop reading and let that be the end in your head.

How satisfying it would be to finally see Karma and Amy together like a real couple! We would have a lot of kisses, none of them in a dream! But gradually it would be clear that, by becoming a couple, the two lose something that makes them... they. Eventually, the two would realize that they would have to sacrifice dating to save the friendship. The series would end the dreams of life Karma and Amy intact: roommates in college, neighboring one another, best friends forever. That's what 'Karmy' always meant to me.

I'm sorry that I can't tell this story (though many fans must have been relieved). I'm sorry that we can't explore the amazing novel Liam and Lauren. Or follow the development in the relationship between Shane and Noah. I will miss of Director Penelope, Farrah and Bruce, Molly and Luke... And of course, Diane. Always I wonder what happened to Lisbeth and Read, Reagan, Theo and Duke. I will miss Hester High and all its peculiarities.

But what I miss most feel is working with an amazing group of artists to deliver this message of self-acceptance and love to our fans around the world. This show cured me, and I hope it has cured some of you too. I am deeply grateful to MTV, to our incredible cast, writers and staff, and all of you for this truly special experience.
