Heavily simplified, one could look at this like 'her mind wasn't good enough to compete with men in BW, so now she has to make money off her looks.' As someone young women might have looked up to as a possibility to competing in stereotypically male areas, this is certainly a step backward. Differentiated from someone who just always wanted to own a fashion store (influenced by societal expectations or not). This is like an unhappy fall-back option. Not that we didn't know years ago TossGirl was a write off, but this is the embodiment of that failure. So again, I'm not saying that modeling is a dispicable or disgusting or shameful career, it's quite legitimate, but there is no doubt that she as a figure who attempted to enter a male domain is going to warrant special attention when she returns to stereotypically feminine means. Stop being brainwashed by the feminazis... | ||

And then you come along, and you focus on the most important thing about this store. The clothes. Kiett wins for getting the point! Also, running what I think are the prices through google for USD, I think they look pretty decent. I could be wrong, I can't read Korean; the shipping, though, would be a beast. (Also - Tossgirl and her sister look great, hope the store does very well. And there's no agenda here - if a business owner can model their own clothes, it's a cost saving measure.) | ||

Celebrities operating online shopping malls under their name is common and was a big trend recently. Is it a fall-back for celebrities whose popularity is waining? Sometimes. But both Male AND female celebrities do this, and many at the peak of their fame. Not to get into the fact that traditional modeling isn't some kind of subjugation enforced only on women, but the context in this case really flies counter to your point. | ||

We got more hot pictures of Tossgirl in 10 minutes than in the past 10 years. Not long ago, someone on TL said that if KeSPA or teams could release every replay of every game played it would be amazing. Well this is even better. I like how they disabled the right click on the website. As if this is going to stop me to save the pictures... edit : lol at how they named the files on the server ... http://tossgirl.co.kr/web/upload/hotpants.jpg | ||

Don't get me wrong, it's not sad for her sake; of course she should do whatever she wants to do, and I wish her the best of luck with it. If this is what she wants, she should go for it. Actually, sad is perhaps the wrong word to begin with. Maybe unfortunate is a better one. It's unfortunate for the world of progaming, from the perspective of gender equality, when a rolemodel like tossgirl conforms to a stereotype like this. Having said that, she is indeed pretty, and I'm sure she'll be successful in her fashion and modeling career. <3 | ||

This is pretty sad to be honest. It's not that there is anything particularly wrong with fashion or modeling, but to basically see the full decline of a woman who stood for the somewhat feminist idea of women in ESPORTS to what is essentially the most stereotypical female stereotypical work there is... Especially when you consider that so many people told her she was just on STX for her looks etc, that her only power was the objectification of her body (even in her interviews people did not really comment much on her ability to interview, so much as her photogenic face)...
