There's no such thing as a walk of shame. That's the message that model and actress Amber Rose tries to get across on her parody video Walk of No Shame. In the video the Kardashians' Nemesis is seen confidently leaving a man's house the morning after a one-night stand.Rose is questioning the hypocrisy surrounding the notion that women should feel embarrassed and remorseful about casual sex.Flaunting her body, she is seen leaving the house in the perfect little black leather dress, her stilettoes slung over her shoulder.As Rose leaves the house, she is greeted by the milkman, who says, "Say, it looks to me like you had sex last night", to which she responds cheerfully.The gaudy comments from construction workers, a mother and her son, and an elderly couple playing chess illustrate the prejudice and ignorance around female sexuality.Ironically, none of the praise is particularly salacious or sexually inappropriate, with all the townspeople, including the mayor, congratulating her on her full sex life.One man on a truck shouted: "You're an inspiration to my daughter", and a construction worker says: "I respect that you enjoyed yourself last night."Having sex is fun."Rose, who has herself been slut-shamed, has dated both Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.This hilarious Funny or Die parody video could paradoxically see her rising up the ranks of US feminists.The Huffington Post reported that the video was intended to promote Rose's upcoming Slut Walk in Los Angeles, which will be staged to protest against sexual violence and slut-shaming...
