The influencer, who also campaigns for invisible disability awareness, recently posted a message on her page about plus size representation in the media – or lack thereof. Her message was captured by international news portals such as the Daily Star, highlighting how Emily noted that ‘fat characters’ on TV were rarely the centre of the story.

The model went on to pose in a snap wearing a pretty white satin bra with Lacey straps held off to the side and her long brown hair hanging curly and loose.

‘Growing up, I never saw bodies like mine in magazines, on tv, or in films – especially not represented in any serious, attractive or desirable way. Fat characters were always just the sidekick, the comedy act, but certainly never the main character.’ Emily highlighted how social media allowed her to break this trend, receiving massive support from her fans and followers who commended her for standing up for these oft unheard voices.

Fancy a film? Here’s what’s dropping at The Embassy Cinemas Valletta in March

Mar 1 2022

No matter how old we get, the escapist, other-worldly experience of watching a film in a cinema is always something else. The moment you encapsulate yourself into the film’s universe amid a whiff of freshly-popped popcorn and nacho cheese is the very moment you enter another world. During the month of March, The Embassy Cinemas Valletta are screening a number of cinematic hits which will definitely take you somewhere else!

‘The Batman’

A return to the big screen for the caped crusader. ‘The Batman’ will see Bruce Wayne take on The Riddler, a sadistic serial killer who takes Gotham on a mad ride, The 2022 edition of Batman is helmed by Director Matt Reeves and stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle’s Catwoman and Paul Dano as Edward Nashton’s Riddler, amongst others.

‘Dog’

This heart-warming flick sees Channing Tatum take on a role that we’ve never seen before. Together with a Belgian Milinois by the name of Lulu, Tatum plays army Ranger Briggs as they go on the road trip of a lifetime. The ranger and man’s best friend race down the entirety of the Pacific coast to get to a fellow soldier’s funeral on time.

‘Ambulance’

Jake Gyllenhaal returns to the big screen for an intense, Michael Bay-directed blockbuster which features a stellar list of fresh names. Ambulance is an American remake of the Danish 2005 film of the same name which follows the story of war veteran William Sharp as he desperately attempts to acquire $231,000 for his wife’s surgery. In between attempted bank heists and missions gone-wrong, the film serves as an action packed marvel which is definitely worth watching.

Which one would YOU go for?

Gozitans with massive donation of essential items for Ukrainian refugees

Mar 1 2022

As the invasion of Ukraine by Putin’s Russia continues, many Gozitans came together to provide essential items for all the struggling citizens.

People from all over the island came to the aid of the Ukrainians by giving away crucial items – with everything from food to medicine, bedsheets, hygienic items, clothes and other supplies.

The charity was organised the Għajnsielem square in Gozo, bringing together some of the best traits of the island’s residents to help other people who are currently experiencing the abandonment of their home, insecurity about their safety and the loss of loved ones.

Posting to Facebook, Masha Cutajar thanked all the Gozitan people who donated to the refugees. She said that she did not expect to collect so much, and commended the Gozitans for their big hearts.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has continued on as many take shelter in underground subways or join the military as volunteer soldiers to fight off the advancing Russian forces.

Just yesterday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed an application to join the EU, with EU President Ursula von der Leyen saying that Ukrainians are ‘one of us and we want them in.’

Many have pledged to help the Ukrainians in their own way, with Malta agreeing to send medicinal help to Ukrainians and even fly those seriously ill to our shores for treatment. Meanwhile, Russia is being sanctioned by many other countries as the entire world deals with the consequences of the invasion.
