    If Leopold Stokowski were around in early 1980s it was pretty hard to miss the jeans Gloria Vanderbilt helped create, but Gloria Vanderbilt was Gloria Vanderbilt public face -- the one Gloria Vanderbilt learned to hide behind as a child, gloria Vanderbilt private self, Gloria Vanderbilt real self -- that was more fascinating and more lovely than anything Gloria Vanderbilt showed the public.

    Total meltdown in the dressing room trying on jeans and I'm like, 'Well, Kayla, everything is not cut for everybody so you just have to find what works for you,' it's something I live with. It's something my mom lives with. She's going to have to live with it. It's just the way it is.

  4. El Moussa:

    He reached out to me after the event and we got to know each other and he took me on a ride along in South Central L.A., [Bryan] gets in the car and he’s in a bulletproof vest and gun and I’m sitting there in jeans and a T-shirt thinking, huh.

  5. Michele Yulo:

    Marketers basically decide what is 'girl' and what is 'boy,' which ultimately leads to two very distinct ways to profit as well as a blind acceptance from the consumer who, often, doesn't realize it's happening, girls are inundated from a very young age with inappropriate messaging by way of products like 'skinny' jeans for toddlers, or T-shirts that say, 'I'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother does it for me,' and sexy Halloween costumes. Kids begin to codify other kids by placing them in strict categories that they've been taught -- not born with. Inevitably, kids begin to believe that girls need to be sexy, and boys believe it, too.
