SO glad there’s a ‘rant’ section!
I live in a fairly conservative/religious country, and short clothes are not very common. However it is very hot here all year and I am a practical person, so I will sometimes wear shorts (mid-thigh length!) or flowy skater skirts, but the result is always the same: I go out in public and catcalls, groping, rudeness and harassment are the norm.
At first I stopped wearing these comfortable clothes because I was sick of it, but now I have decided to stand my ground and give any man who tries to shame me for dressing comfortably a piece or two of my mind.
I am not a sex object, and I refuse to be reduced to that by ignorant sexist people.
Ladies (and gay men), do you have similar experiences?

Have any of you ever tried shopping on Chictopia Shop? It’s currently one of my favorite online places to shop. I like how I can discover new online boutiques through Chictopia Shop. It’s like a huge online shopping directory for me. Lol.

Chictopia says that only 5% of people’s pictures end up in the gallery – that’s really a shame because there are so many gorgeous, stunning outfit posts around that most often than not go unnoticed.

And a lot of people don’t click on ‘New Photos’ under ‘Gallery’ so those pictures get often missed out. And even when people do that, there are SOOOOOO many people uploading pictures that pictures disappear quickly. So I thought I start this topic, where people can promote their latest outfits manually if they want to in hopes to get more followers & votes.

Here’s my latest look

Hey there, Chictopians! I’m not sure if this is the most pertinent section to post this in, but I wanted to hear your thoughts!

In your opinion, what are the most over hyped products in fashion/makeup/fitness etc? This isn’t meant to overly bash any product or brand, but sometimes I do wonder if certain products hold up to their price point and popularity they receive! I have an open mind and I’m hoping to hear your views.

I love the look of Black Milk Leggings, but I can’t wrap my head around the price. Any sharkies out there that can turn me to the “dark side?”

I’m also super curious about the Jeffrey Campbell Lita’s, I feel like everyone and their mom has them, but I don’t see them as being as versatile as everyone says. Thoughts?

I’m a newbie and was lookin for a few tips on makin friends and followers. I have been goin around showing love but have gotten very little in return. I’m starting to feel a lil left out :’-( Leave your tips and recommendations or even your experience when u were a newbie and what you did to become more popular.

does anyone know how to fix this? I loaded the chictopia widget onto my wordpress blog (amyswalkinwardrobe.wordpress.com) and it looks great, but still says i have ‘0’ fans when i actually have 5. And obviously 5 sounds way better than 0 hahaha
would love any advice on this, really bothers me

Hi! I love posting my outfits on Chictopia and I enjoy commenting and voting on other Chictopians’ looks. It drives me crazy when some one takes the time to leave a sweet comment on your blog but doesn’t vote. Are they just doing it for the points? Looking for new followers? Are you guilty of this or is it one of your pet peeves also??

What’s that one thing you can’t go a day without doing? Facebook? Chocolate? TV reality shows? Mine is my personal internet schedule. First facebook, then email, followed by tumblr and finally chictopia.

I won the final round and should have been going to Miami to showcase Wisconsin style, but Cotton took my prize away and gave it to my losing competitor from Chicago. Read more here: www.melodicthriftychic.com

Let me make sure I understand what you’re asking. You want him to move out so you can get a little more in rent, right?

I’m not completely familiar with California landlord-tenant laws, but I imagine it’s very similar to Washington (I’m a property manager here). Despite the lack of signed lease contract, an email is a written agreement and is most likely binding. This California Tenant Guide might have more info for you.

I just want to ask if there are redeemable items available for members from the Philippines. I am kind of new here so I don’t really know about this. I see a lot of Filipinas here including myself and I wonder if we can also use our points to redeem stuff here. :)

Have you ever feel like today is the day you wanted to be active, cheerful, and do errands?
And then all of the sudden! Germs are controlling your body and now you’re sick!!!
And then all you can do is dream that you are active and laying down on your bed and do nothing even if you wanted to do more things…
You know what?
I got that days and whenever I got it I feel like the food doesn’t taste good, water is my only friend and medicine sucks :/
And when you feel a bit better your family was all like
“Let’s got o the mall!” and of course you wanted to go out with them, I mean being left alone in your house is scary!
And at that time since you’re sick you don’t feel to put any make-up on, yet there’s a lot of redness, zit, and other thing
So you decided to use some but yet it feels different
It feels really dry and you then you use some moisturizer and mix it with you foundation, sure it works…
But at the end of the night you need to get all those thing off, yet you’re still sick
But you ended up cleaning it and then…
You fell down lazying around sleeping….
After a few days your parents ask you to go to the mall again
Of course you go too
And this time with all the effort and stamina that you got
You didn’t use any make-up :/
And when you get to the mall
You can’t shop at all! Because you’re really sick and it’s on discount days! Even Aldo got a 50% discount!
But yet! You can’t try anything!!!
Oh God
I got those days and I was all sick, I can’t even try any shoes or anything…
So ladies, men or anyone out there
When you’re sick… Shop Online :/
Or just don’t do anything :/
Gosh and the really worst part is that I got sick in the biggest discount event of the year…
I hate germs
So how about you?
Tell me your sick story and where, when, how did you get it and your experience :)
I know I’m ranting but seriously guys…
Sickness sucks

So I was on Netflix the other day and I watched this movie called “Centre Place”. It was totally different than what I’m use to watching but so charming. It could’ve been the accents but it was just nice and quaint it has become my new favorite movie.

Can someone please watch the movie (if you haven’t seen it already) and suggest some similar films because when Netflix does it it’s a movie with completely different characteristics.

I just came across a post that is four years old…I had no idea chictopia had been aroung for so long…I just joined the chictopia community about 9 months ago.

Reply a smiley.

she posts pictures of other people including other Chictopians without labeling them as inspirational and she gets points for that. This is prohibited but she hasn’t been kicked off the site and this is on my last nerve.
