When Amber Rose arrived to the VMAs in a bodysuit emblazoned with slut-shaming words like "whore," "slut," and "gold digger," she sent an incredibly powerful statement to her haters. Instead of passively being defined by the hateful insults hurled at her daily on the internet, Amber wore the names proudly to prove that "hoes be winning," which inspired Jordan Hanz - a year-old makeup artist - to put her talents to use in an empowering video that critiques the way society places unfair, misogynistic labels on women everyday.
If you've never seen Jordan's work before, prepare yourself. The truly fantastical cosmetic creations she posts to Instagram and YouTube have amassed her quite an online following , which is wholeheartedly deserved. I mean, look at this:. Crazy, right? Instead of posting another otherworldly shot this week, however, Jordan went in a bit of a different direction, crediting Amber Rose for inspiration:.
Along with Instagram photos, she created a heartbreakingly beautiful stop-motion video called "Unattainable Woman" to go with it that calls out the double-standard that exists between men and women. As hurtful words appear on her skin, Jordan narrates the video with a supremely inspirational message that will have you pumping your fist in the air. If a woman shows confidence, defends herself, shows a differing opinion than what someone else may have, she's considered a bitch. Love every ounce of you.
These ideals are unattainable and impractical. How dare you tell me who to be and what is wrong or right? We are women. Jordan Hanz.
