I’m going to make a confession so promise not to judge me, OK?
Here goes… I love the fashion programmes on TV. There, I said it!

I haven’t seen this before - but it’s scaring me that this video is 16 years old and still as relevant as it was back then, if not more. I think the message in this video is so strong that it gives me goosebumps - and I am ashamed that we still ain’t fixin it. I would say it’s a must-see. Enjoy.
