'ANTM' Nyle DiMarco Comes Out As Sexually Fluid

VIDEO [CC] - Exclusive Interview: 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 22, hunk Nyle DiMarco comes out as sexually fluid.





LOS ANGELES - Huffpost Gay Voices' reporter, Nicholas Kusnir was lucky enough to have the chance to quickly interview "America's Next Top Model" contestant Nyle DiMarco at the DeaFestival LA Fashion Show, 2015, where he discussed the benefits of growing up Deaf, being an icon within the gay community, and even opens up about being Sexually Fluid himself.

'ANTM' contestant Nyle DiMarco came out as sexually fluid to his Twitter followers last week. The 26-year-old heartthrob, who is the first Deaf contestant on the show, made the revelation in response to a Sept. 24 question from a fan who asked if he was gay or straight.





DiMarco, who is a native of Queens, New York, included a link to an Everyday Feminism article about identifying as sexually fluid. The article notes that people who are sexually fluid are "either always attracted to more than one gender," or "feel that their attraction may shift depending on factors like time, intimacy with certain partners, changes in hormone levels, and so forth."



Needless to say, several of DiMarco's male fans responded excitedly to his tweet.

BBC Smear Of Deaf Tory MP Goes Viral

VIDEO [CC] - BBC apologises after suggesting partially Deaf Tory MP had fallen asleep.



LONDON - The BBC has apologised after suggesting a partially Deaf Conservative MP was asleep during a debate on the trade union bill when he was in fact trying to listen to a speaker.



Pictures from BBC Parliament of Elmet & Rothwell MP Alec Shelbrooke began circulating on Twitter, prompting the BBC Newsbeat account to tweet on Tuesday morning that the image of the MP “resting his eyes is going viral”.





After the mistake was flagged, the original tweet was deleted and the BBC put out an apology from the account.



Shelbrooke describes himself as a trade unionist and spoke about the history of trade unionism during the debate. In subsequent images he can be seen opening his eyes while in the same position near the speaker.

Shelbrooke has since retweeted articles correcting the error and the apology.



His account, @AlecShelbrooke was trending at Tuesday lunchtime, with many still suggesting he was asleep, and others leaping to his defence and criticising Newsbeat for the mistake...

Business 101: Finding your target audience

If you've been putting off figuring out who your target audience is for your crafty items, it's TIME!! Drop what you're doing and figure it out today!! Trust me, it will be worth it! After figuring it out you'll have a better idea of where to spend your time (and money) on marketing and advertising... not to mention it will help almost every other business related decision you make!

I wrote an article before about how to find your target audience which I've reposted below. At the end of this blog post you'll find a few helpful links to help you figure out your target audience.

HOW TO FIND YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE

If you don’t want to be the only one buying your products you need to figure out your target audience! Figuring out your target audience isn’t necessarily about “crafting” your product around certain people, it’s about figuring out who to market to; in essence, the people who will totally dig your creations!

The tricky thing about being emerged head first into the world of crafts is figuring out your niche. A niche in the craft world can be very narrow (hummingbirds only please), or very broad (anything turquoise). Which niche are you in? Chances are that once you figure that out, you can start to narrow down who the buyers will be.

Another place to start is with checking out the competition. Even in our bubbly, sunny, handmade world, competition still exists. Competition is a healthy part of any business (and life!) Thankfully, I’ve found the handmade realm to be very welcoming, with friendly competition and helping hands. Extend a hello to the other crafters in your niche. Networking is priceless – and a lot fun! Head on over to craft related forums to get started. Who said networking had to be dull? There’s always something fun going on anywhere that crafty people gather.

Don’t forget to check out your offline resources. It can be easy to forget about the audience you already know, your friends and family. It is definitely worth your time to explore those who are already into your creations. Networking with friends and family couldn’t be any more natural. Show off your latest creations to them. If they are part of your target audience, they will be sure to spread the world about your wonderful new print, scarf, or necklace.

Beware of trends. Currently woodland animals and cupcakes are all the rage. Maybe that fits with your craft, maybe not. The thing with trends is that they can come and go so fast; they shouldn’t be something you’re constantly chasing. Sure, jumping on the bandwagon can be fun, but you don’t need to hop on every wagon that rolls on by. Trends can be fun but they don’t always help you understand your target audience – and that’s the ultimate goal.
