The Quicky

When you think 90's supermodel you think of the big four, the OG's..Cindy, Christy, Linda and Naomi.  These four women were the first supermodels. They graced the pages of magazines, appeared in music videos...they were everywhere and everything. And as a new documentary takes us behind the scenes and into the world's of these women, we've learnt they started as so many others did, as vulnerable young women at the mercy of a cut throat fashion industry.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the influence of the original supermodels and whether their brand of body image is any worse or better than those we see on our screens and runways today.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

2023 has been a turbulent year for flying. Between hundreds of people being stranded in Vanuatu last week because of technical issues. Qantas allegedly selling tickets for thousands of cancelled flights. And a lot of flight delays. There have been a lot of ongoing problems with flying around – and out of – Australia. And people are paying a lot of money for the privilege, with international airfares up by more than 50% from pre-pandemic levels.  With all of this in mind, you might be wondering how travellers are going to fare over the upcoming holiday period, and what you can do to try and ensure cheaper, smoother trips.  In this episode of The Quicky, we’re going to look at what has been happening in Australia’s aviation industry this year and what consumers can do to try and navigate the chaos.

Nearly five months ago, Hollywood writers went on strike, bringing the TV and movie industry to a standstill.  The Writers Guild of America, which represents more than 11,000 screenwriters, led the demands for better pay, staffing minimums and protections against AI on the work of writers. Now, after a tentative deal was reached with entertainment companies over the weekend and accepted on Wednesday, writers are free to return to work this week. This has been one of the longest strikes in the Writer’s Guild’s history – so what has it achieved?  What does the deal outline? And what does all of this mean for us as TV and movie watchers for the rest of 2023?  Today we’re going to look at the writer’s strikes and what writers managed to negotiate for themselves after months of protesting.
