Lorelili's definitions
A makeshift factory where men, women, and children slave for twelve hours or more a day for almost no money in crowded, dirty, dangerous conditions under the iron fist of unscrupulous managers just so that rich children get the toys that they want for their birthdays and for Christmas and so that their parents and older siblings get nice clothes and cool gadgets.
Nike, Banana Republic, the Gap, among others, use sweatshops. Sweatshops are everywhere, from Thailand and Honduras to New York and Los Angeles, often virtually enslaving workers.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire on March 25, 1911, in New York killed 146 clothing makers, most of them young immigrant women, some of them as young as thirteen. 62 of them jumped nine floors to the street below in their effort to escape the fire. And the patterns are being repeated today around the world.

Get the sweatshop mug.A person with red hair (the redness ranging from strawberry blond to dark auburn). The stereotype is that all redheads have a fiery temper... but that doesn't hold true for all redheads.
Redheads usually have the fairest(palest) skin and burn quite easily. Sunburn is not a pleasant experience.
Freckles and blue or green eyes are also common apart from fiery hair and pale skin.
Scotland has the most red hair, with 11% to 13% of the people natural redheads. Ireland comes in a close second, with 10% of the people being natural redheads.
Female redheads are often worshipped for their beauty... yet not much is said for the male redheads.

Why is it when people hear "redhead", then they automatically think of a glamorous lady with pale skin and flowing red tresses? There's red-haired men too.
(Carson a tha nuair cluinnidh daoine "falt ruadh", mar sin smaoinichidh iad gu h-innleachdach mun cuairt boireannach àlainn le craiceann bàn is ciabhan ruadh ruitheach? Th'ann fir le falt raudh cuideachd.)

Get the redhead mug.An undergarment, first coming to view in the Rennaissance, that women have worn to mangle their natural body into the shape of an hourglass: corsets pinched the waist in, pushed the breasts up, and rearranged the spine and abdominal organs.
The corset used to be made of whalebone for support, but it now comes in a variety of fabrics.
Women have had many health problems and have died from the restrictive, impractical corset; many homes in the Victorian era had fainting rooms for women who had been laced up too tightly.
Nowadays, the corset is popular among the gothic crowd and has become a symbol of erotica.

-"Do I have to wear this corset? I can hardly breathe."
-"This is a period film; yes, you have to wear the corset."
-"This thing hurts like hell! Are you crazy?"

Get the corset mug.A Rush Limbaugh wannabe. A highly conservative bitch who dresses like a hooker, and writes about her view that all liberals are evil (there's bad liberals, sure, but there's a slew of bad conservatives, too), and bashes the likes of Bill Clinton and other liberals... and she supports her fellow anti-Equal Rights crusader, Phyllis Schlafly. Both of these women need some major counseling... and a good whack in the face.
