It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer. But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this and in somehow holding us together when it felt like nothing would ever be the same again.

America Ferrera's breakthrough career
I just want to point out that this woman has delivered 2 cinematic, historical, browsing, impeccable speeches about the frustrations I feel about being a woman. And that actress of course is the one and only America Ferrera herself. Let's talk about her debut role in the movie — Real Women Have Curves. The 2002 independent film based on the play by Josefina Lopez is one of my all-time favourite movies I have watched in my lifetime. And if you somehow know this movie through another suspicious Greta Gerwig connection, I implore you to watch this. The movie was directed by Patricia Cardoso. At the time when it was released, America Ferrera had already filmed another movie but this movie debuted first putting her on the map. She was only 17 years old! Josefina López wrote the play when she was 18 years old. In 2019 it was the first Latina directed film to be included in the National Film Registry at the library of Congress. Taking inspiration from her real life, Josefina wrote Real Women Have Curves about Ana, mostly centered on her relationship with her mother Carmen, played by Lupe Ontiveros. This movie is touted, not only for its representation of women in their real bodies, it also delivered a warm and loving portrayal of Latina families and neighborhoods in Royal Heights and East Los Angeles. Again this isn't a time where Latinas, even today, are represented in a full and nuancent light. So to not only have this Latina family but to have them placed in East Los Angeles which has been criminally and stereotypically portrayed as "dangerous", really meant something and still means something today. And the message of that film being "there's so much more to me than my weight". I think this might serve as a comfort watch for many women around the world.

I don't understand how we were made to believe as children, that America Ferrera was the biggest woman to ever grace our tv screen. The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants is what I call perfection in cinema. If I ever will have a daughter in the future, she is required to watch this movie. Because every little girl needs to understand what sisterhood and what community is. I feel like girls today are not watching sisterhood displayed on television, or even in movies. It's always these toxic relationship, these toxic friendship — not to say that neither of those can't be toxic and bad, because even within this friend group they all have their own issues with each other, with their families etc. But it's not about the problems, it's how they solve them, how they come together. And I feel like this message should be displayed for the young girls today. And I just love how diverse the friend group is, because nowadays it seems like every teenager I see on tv are like the same skinny, white blondes. If you haven't seen this movie make sure to have a box of tissues nearby because it's going to make you cry.
Tumblr media
The dark side of pretty privilige is, you don't get to be funny, intelligent, respected — you just get to be pretty. So I've just finished watching Ugly Betty, I fully recommend, and I realised the only female character who's actually respected within this show, is Betty. If you don't already know the concept, Betty gets hired to be the assistant to the chief. Because he sleeps with his assistants, they decide to get him an "ugly" girl so he won't sleep with her. But she's hired for Mode, which is kind of like Vogue/Cosmo type of magazine. So naturally she gets bullied. They treat her like crap because she doesn't look like the ideal Mode girl. But the crazy thing is, since none of the men want to sleep with her, they actually respect her. They start to treat her like a human being with ideas. Then she becomes one of the most liked people by anyone in their team. On top of that, all of these gorgeous women get treated like absolute crap. No one listens to them, their ideas are not heard, and they're not respected. So it leaves a very clear message: wether you are gorgeous or "ugly", misogyny will still hunt you down and it will catch you. For Betty, men don't look twice her way. They treat her bad from the moment they see her. Just because they don't want to sleep with her, they don't find her attractive. For the beautiful women in the show, like Amanda who is painted as the gorgeous blonde, men only want to sleep with her, and they don't see that she's smart. Go back to watch the show and you'll see how horribly the other women get treated compared to Betty (and they have some good cameos in this show).

As we are reaching the end, we can claim America Ferrera as "that girl". The term is, in my opinion, used for anyone who dresses like a fashionista and acts like the queen they are. But it's much more than that. I think, to achieve that title you have to be also impactful and encourage other women to be what they want to be. America really proved it by playing the Emmy Award winning role of Gloria in Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig. I think every cis, heterosexual white male should be forced to sit down and watch this movie. The message behind the Barbie movie is about going from being a girl to being a woman. Barbieland is what our childhood felt like; we were safe, naive, independent and everything seemed perfect. The real world is what womanhood actually is. It's scary, sexist, there's pain and we're faced with so many challenges, while still being held to unrealistic expectations by society. "We mothers stand still, so our daughters can look back to see how far they've become". America Ferrera's speech about how hard it is to be a woman, really affected me and made me tear up in the theather. "It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood." America Ferrera the woman you are, thank you so much for helping me and other women to believe in theirselves. Happy international women's day! <3

I've recently realized that all of the strong women I look up to for inspiration and to feel empowered go through hard things. And it might seem like a silly thing to realize but seeing them at their worst makes me feel better about not being at my best.
Barbie gives up when she comes back and then Kens have taken over Barbie Land.
Gloria from Barbie struggles with her family and explains perfectly how hard of a balancing act being a woman is.
Beth Harmon almost slept through the most important match of her career because she was hungover and on drugs.
Harley Quinn struggles with having her own identity after going through an abusive relationship.
Supergirl lost her entire planet, is over looked at her real job. She struggles with balancing both of her lives and tries to do it all.
Lena Luthor has family issues and is over looked because she is woman in male dominated fields. She also losses it (understandably) when she is betrayed by her best friend.
Wynonna Earp is plagued by horrors she can't forget and copes with drinking and pushing everyone away from her.
Elle Woods changes who she is to win over some horrible guy just so she can get married and feel like she's loved and valued the way society expects. She's also bullied by everyone at her school.
Jo March can't deal with everything changing around her. She's also a woman in the 1800s.
Lady Gaga has struggled with un measurable things and focused her energy into healing through music. I think this also applies to Taylor Swift.
Carmilla has been buried underground killed people been evil for centuries and lost the love of her life.
All of the women in the sisterhood of the traveling pants have gone through major life changing events.
What I'm trying to say is if they can have bad moments and cry and struggle to cope maybe struggling to fix my sleep schedule or taking the best care of myself consistently isn't the end of the world. I'm going to have off days and not be at the top of my game all the time and that's ok. They aren't either. The only thing that matters is that I'm trying.

1. Labels are NOT boxes.
They do not have solid walls and concrete definitions making us conform to the shape of their cube.
2. Labels ARE like the stretch fit pants from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
They are magical. They are breathable. Anyone can wear them, if they only so desire. They are comfortable. They conform to *us*. And typically - they are shared amongst a wide range of diverse people after being found secondhand for an extremely good price.

I don’t know if I asked you this already and if so, I apologize, but how would you recast the sisterhood of the traveling pants?
I don't think you have, anon, or at least I haven't saved it in my recastings tag, haha. It's been so long since I watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and even longer since I read the books, so these might be a little off, but hopefully not, haha. It was a fun one to think about.
Let's start with the role I found easiest:
Tumblr media
Funnily enough, Tibby's storyline was the one that stayed with me the most / that I had the clearest memory of, and having seen Myha'la in three things in pretty quick succession recently (Bodies Bodies Bodies, Dumb Money and Leave the World Behind), I just think she'd be great. She's definitely got that sort of edginess paired with vulnerability that makes Tibby such a compelling character, plus I just find her really watchable as an actress.
Tumblr media
I've only seen Havana Rose Liu in Bottoms but found her really charming in it and thought she had chemistry with pretty much everyone, which feels like a big part of the role with Bridget. Plus, y'know, the hair is an important factor too, haha.
Tumblr media
Full disclaimer: I haven't seen Priscilla yet (it doesn't come out here until late January), and there is a chance she could become too big for a role like this, but honestly, I think it could be good for her. So much of her filmography at the moment is playing daughters or young versions of characters in middle-of-the-road awards bait (On the Basis of Sex, Vice and The First Lady), or in tentpole genre cinema (Pacific Rim: Uprising, Bad Times at the El Royale), and a good coming of age movie that lets her step into her own in an ensemble cast I think could be a good move. Of course, it does seem like Priscilla has a bit of that too, but something with the rewatch value and cultural cache of Sisterhood feels like its own sort of move.
Tumblr media
I haven't seen much of Haskiri's work, but a friend's kid was obsessed with the Saved by the Bell reboot while it was airing, so I caught a few episodes whenever I went over and just found her really delightful. Having the space to explore her range in a role like Carmen - one of the emotional anchors of the story and the Sisterhood in general, I think - could be a great opportunity, and with any luck, she might get the chance to follow in America Ferrera's shoes. After all, America certainly seems to have had the most successful (and interesting) career out of the original cast.
