EXCLUSIVE Survivalist who hunts her own food slams 'useless' women who 'can't look after themselves'

EXCLUSIVE Survivalist who hunts her own food slams 'useless' women who 'can't look after themselves'

Daily Mail​4 days ago
A model and survivalist who hunts her own food and has a stash of 28 guns in case of an apocalypse has fiercely slammed 'useless' women who rely on men and can't 'look after themselves.'
Emily Rinaudo, who started hunting when she was only 12 years old, is on a mission to teach others how to become more self-sufficient.
With the world 'teetering on the edge of catastrophe,' she believes everyone should be prepared for the worst and know how the 'basics' to surviving should there be a natural disaster that leaves them fending for themselves.
The model, who has over 700,000 followers on Instagram, hit out at women who, in her opinion, 'act weak' and 'can barely cook a meal, let alone catch their own dinner.'
'I'm so fed up of hearing stories from women who can't look after themselves,' she scathed to Jam Press recently. 'They are superficial and obsessed with looking good.
'I can respect the desire to be attractive – especially since I'm a model – but you don't have to be useless just because you are pretty.
'I'm a survivalist and have been able to hunt my own food since I was a child.
'When the apocalypse hits, people are going to be relying on me for shelter and safety, not the other way around.'
She stressed the importance of learning 'basic things' like fishing, hunting, or finding shelter.
'Even most men today couldn't survive if something went down, they only know how to order UberEats,' she continued.
'These days, a lot of them have no idea how to do basic things like fish, hunt or find shelter.
'It's scary out there right now. If the internet were to shut down today and all the grocery stores were closed, what would you do?
'I don't want to rely on anyone, least of all a man. I'm not the damsel in distress.'
While speaking to the Daily Mail about it, Emily pointed out, 'During the COVID-19 pandemic, most couldn't even handle a simple change in the pace of life.
'Imagine being quarantined for 30 years, which is the half-life of some radioactive isotopes.'
She also shared the vital items that she believes everyone should have in their homes in case of an emergency.

'If you're prepping for an apocalypse or any kind of emergency, everyone should have a water filter straw and a large stainless steel knife,' she said.
'With just those two things, you can survive anywhere.'
In addition, Emily said she personally has a 'collection of firearms' as well as a gas mask, a Geiger counter - which detects radiation - and adult toys tucked away.
'Let's be honest, I don't need a man to survive,' she joked.
As for her biggest advice when it comes to what to do during an emergency situation, she recommended not trying to play the hero or helping other people - but instead, just focusing on yourself and your loved ones.
'One of my biggest survivalist tips is don't try to help anyone but yourself and your immediate family. At the end of the day, it's you versus the world,' she urged.
Emily grew up on the outskirts of South Florida and would often go hunting with her dad and brother during her childhood.
Now, she often gets up at the crack of dawn to track down a deer – which she shoots and skins herself – before enjoying a wild swim or fishing in the nude.
She loves challenging herself – even in dangerous situations, such as when she 'wrestles' alligators.
Emily, who owns 28 guns, regularly goes range shooting to top up her defense skills.
She added: 'Knowing I'll be able to shoot down whatever is coming at me makes me feel very powerful and safe.
'I love learning these things, especially when it comes to things that a man would typically do. I like being dirty and sweaty.'
She insisted to the Daily Mail that despite her large following online, she could care less about social media or the fashion industry and only models to make money to put towards building her 'dream bunker.'
'Modeling was a means to an end. I used it to make money to build my dream bunker,' she explained.
'Society cares about superficiality – so making myself beautiful for resources was all part of the plan.'
In the end, she hopes being so vocal about it will open other women's eyes to the importance of survival skills.
'I'm not hating on women – women are amazing and smarter than men when they really put their minds to something,' she concluded.
'I just wish more of them spent less time learning how to do their own nails and more time figuring out how to clean a gun or clean a fish.'

A First Look At Harry Styles' Sex Toy Range - Yes, Really

Harry Styles has been keeping a low profile so far in 2025, globetrotting in his little blue jacket – spotted outside the Vatican in Rome, running marathons in Tokyo, and strolling the streets of London. However, it now seems he's been using his downtime to work on something rather different. Meet Pleasing Yourself: the singer's entrance into the ever-so-fun world of sexual wellness... Earlier this week, fans went wild after Harry, 31, shared a rare Instagram story. While many were expecting the post to announce his comeback to music, the 'As It Was' singer actually teased a new drop for Pleasing - the lifestyle brand he founded in 2021. Harry reposted a cryptic Instagram reel from Pleasing's account, showing someone placing a glass of milk on a table, before tapping something in morse code while a shocked woman listens in. The caption read, 'For those playing at home,' before teasing the details of a launch event taking place in New York. Clicking a link on the post, fans were then directed to a page 'intended for individuals 18 years of age and older.' 'Something Pleasing, Coming Soon,' the site read, adding 'Not everything needs to be spelled out.' The vibes were (quite literally) clear. After several sexual innuendos and much online digging, the brand has confirmed what we all thought: Harry Styles really is selling vibrators. Pleasing Yourself's first two products will include The Pleasing Lube, a premium, FDA-approved silicone lubricant, as well as The Pleasing Double-Sided Vibrator, developed in collaboration with sex educator and author Zoe Ligon. What makes it double sided, you ask? Good question. It's designed with a rounded head for external play, with the handle doubling up for internal play. Innovation at it's finest. Revealing the news, Pleasing Yourself shared, 'The expansion reflects a clear intention: to explore sexual wellness through a lens of emotional depth, cultural fluency, joy and pleasure, and genuine care. For Pleasing Yourself, this is not about provocation, trend-chasing, or prescription - it's an invitation into a broader, more open conversation about sex as a space of connection, expression, and self-awareness for all.' Adding that 'pleasure is nothing to apologise for, that self-touch can be a love language, and that old rules haven't always served us,' they continue, 'This is not a one-off drop or stunt. For Pleasing, it's the start of a commitment to build products and experiences that treat pleasure and intimacy as a vital, meaningful part of life.' Alongside the products, Pleasing Yourself will also be collaborating with Planned Parenthood to help educate the public about sexual health and wellness. With the tagline 'Please Yourself Like You Mean It,' we're more than on board with Harry's latest venture. When the rumours first swirled, plenty of fans were quick to poke fun at the product's expected price point. It's no secret that Pleasing isn't exactly a budget brand: one nail polish can set you back £18, while an 8oz candle costs £80. 'Crowdfunding the Pleasing vibrator,' joked one fan on X. Another tweeted, 'The concept of someone not getting approved for a mortgage because they bought the Harry Styles vibrator on Afterpay.' However, it turns out that Pleasing Yourself products may not set you back quite as much as fans first thought. The Pleasing Double-Sided Vibrator will cost $68 (£50), while The Pleasing Lube will retail for $25 (£19). Given some luxe sex toys can reach price points of £120+, Harry's addition to the market seems to be a comfortable mid point. From tomorrow, both products will be available to buy from The good news is they do ship to the UK! Ever since the rumours first swirled, fans were quick to share their thoughts on Harry's sexual wellness foray. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one wrote, 'Me opening Harry Styles' IG story expecting it to be about Love on Tour two years anniversary but I got pleasing vibrators instead.' Another suggested, 'The pleasing vibrator will have a setting that will vibrate to the rhythm of Harry's next single.' 'All my years as a One Direction fan have led me to this moment… I will be purchasing the Harry Styles vibrator,' wrote one. 'Harry Styles vibrator is the straight woman's Sydney Sweeney bath soap,' another said. Some fans, however, would have rather had another album. 'We didn't ask for this, we asked for new music,' wrote one. 'Harry Styles releasing vibrators before heading to the studio and making hs4,' added another. Personally, this is a venture we're well and truly behind - and this certainly won't be the last we'll see from Pleasing Yourself. If it's good enough for Harry, it's good enough for us.

Blush, Set, Go: Dua Lipa's Summer Beauty Look Decoded

'I'll have what she's having,' the nation sighs as they scroll through Dua Lipa's latest Instagram carousel of Palermo-based holiday snaps. Beaming, sun-kissed and (sort of) newly engaged, the singer is unwinding after a sellout Wembley stint and kicking back with fiancé Callum Turner. And while her yacht-based antics and Italian tour of dirty martinis and pasta haunts are vision board worthy, it's her beauty game that has social media in a spin. Dua has single-handedly set the beauty tone this summer, let's face it. This woman has a tried-and-tested formula that has seen her through stadium tours, front rows at fashion week and idyllic holidays abroad. So, what's her secret? Yes, this woman has success, yes this woman has stardom, yes this woman is loved up and living the life, but when it comes to her make-up look it's all edifyingly accessible. The blush, the lip liner, the nails. It's high time we broke it all down, in fact. Notepads at the ready... First up? Statement blush. It's out there, it's sexy. This isn't a subtle period drama wash of rosy-hued powder, this is an all-out, unapologetic flash of pink or coral that wraps from one cheek, up across the bridge of the nose to the other. It mimics the look of a deep sun flush. For a hyper-realistic finish make a play for Victoria Beckham's latest blush launch, a set of stains that deliver a punch of pigment alongside a second skin finish. 1. Victoria Beckham Colour Wash Blush Water Tint Victoria Beckham says: 'I love the healthy flush in my skin after a workout-Colour Wash creates this same rush of colour. The watercolour-like stain soaks into skin for a blush that looks like it's naturally coming from within. It's the flush you get after a fantastic laugh, a day in the sun… or any other invigorating reason cheeks might show a little colour. I can think of a few.' What we know: Available in three shades and delivered in a refreshing skin-loving formula this blusher is designed to leave cheeks with a water-colour like flush. Rachael Martin beauty director says: 'On Grazia's beauty desk, there's always something of a scramble when a new VB product lands. The fact that we all have different skin tones, tastes, and preferences- but still love the range- says a lot about the brand. The packaging is always beautiful, and crucially, the formulas never miss. This new blush is no exception. First impressions remind me of a more grown-up, luxurious take on the famous Benefit Benetint Blusher which I was loyal to throughout my teenage years. That said, when it comes to stains, I typically tread with caution. I often find they dry down too quickly, leaving behind a patchy, muddy finish that refuses to blend no matter how many desperate fingertip swipes I attempt. But this one sets slowly, giving me ample time to blend and perfect the placement.' Pros Long lasting A little goes a long way Beautiful packaging Cons The dropper function is a little stiff Only available in 3 shades thus far Next up a deep shade of nude lip liner used to ever so slightly overline and make the cupid's bow more shallow, making lips look wider and fuller. She doesn't go in for a high-gloss look when she's off duty, but there's always a balm like sheen that makes her lips look plump and healthy. Sign us up. Try Charlotte Tilbury's new Lip Cheat Contour Duos. 2. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Contour Duo What the brand says: 'My Lip Cheat Contour Duos are nude lip liners for instantly wider, fuller + defined looking lips, whatever your age or lip shape! These 2-in-1 lip pencils mimic the appearance of natural shadows to emphasise and sculpt the look of lip contours, giving you 90s-inspired, supermodel nude lips. If you love my legendary nude lip liners like Pillow Talk, Foxy Brown and Iconic Nude, you're going to love these! What we know: These dual-ended liners go big on pigment and staying power. They're perfect for creating a natural-looking, full sculpted lip look and have been expertly colour matched to help everyone build their own perfect nude lip. Powdery and creamy, the pencils blend easily so that you can customise your end result based on your own preference. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I really do carry around three lip liners and three other lip products with me at any one given time, so having all my nude lip requirements met with one single product has been an absolute game-changer. Consider me a convert.' Pros Creamy, blendable formula A nude for every skin tone Cons Staying power could be a touch better In Dua's most recent Palermo drop we spied a luxe new face SPF release behind her iced-up Campari spritz. Augustinus Bader The Sunscreen SPF 50, £105, launched earlier this year to serious hype and it doesn't disappoint. Lightweight, fast-absorbing and infused with the brand's famous TFC8 complex (which plumps and brightens skin) its prestige sun care at its finest. And if it's good enough for Dua... 3. Augustinus Bader The Sunscreen SPF 50 Augustinus Bader The Sunscreen SPF 50 launched to serious hype earlier this year and that was before it earned grid space on Dua Lipa's Instagram page. The 'Hotter Than Hell' singer clearly takes her SPF seriously. It was spotted in the background of one of her Palermo holiday snaps, paying second fiddle to an icy Campari spritz. What we know: Lightweight and fast-absorbing, this luxe SPF is, of course, infused with the brand's signature TFC8 complex, which plumps, smooths and brightens skin. What the brand says: Sun care meets skincare in this lightweight, broad-spectrum sunscreen. This fast-absorbing formula protects against UVA and UVB rays and renews the skin at the same time, preventing and reducing visible signs of aging. Your daily SPF 50. Powered by TFC8®. Head of beauty Annie Vischer says: 'Like it or not, if you're using a face SPF that doesn't tick the joy box - that feels tacky, heavy and like a chore to apply - you're far less likely to use it as often as you should. Yes, we're talking about a hefty price tag here, but if you like to splurge on your daily face SPF then make a play for this one. It absorbs beautifully after moisturiser and delivers heavy-duty broad-spectrum sun protection. One I'd very happily wear every single day.' Pros Dua Lipa approved. Brimming with skincare ingredients. Lightweight. Feels like a second skin. Cons Usually the work of our very own Grazia Beauty Panellist Michelle Humphrey, Dua has sported everything from 3D nails (remember when 3D nails were big at the Meg Gala?) to French-tipped polka dots. It seems Hailey Bieber has passed on the baton and it's Dua's turn to serve up the manicure inspiration of the summer. Glazed doughnut nails who? And finally, how to beat the glow of being in the company of your favourite person? Congratulations Callum Turner, a moisturiser could never. Granted, you can't pick one up at your local Boots, though. Main image credit: Instagram @dualipa, other image credits: Instagram @dualipa Annie Vischer is head of beauty at Grazia.

I look like a tall Amazon warrior and can lift 315lbs, men constantly ask me to spot them in the gym

Fellas often ask to be her spotter because they are so overawed by her larger than life look. SUPERPOWER I look like a tall Amazon warrior and can lift 315lbs, men constantly ask me to spot them in the gym Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed men swoon over her in the gym because she looks like an Amazon Warrior. Marie Temara stands 6ft 3in tall and attracts a lot of attention when she hits the weights - throwing up a whopping 133kg during hardcore 12-hour lifting sessions. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Marie spends a lot of time in the gym 4 She's always the centre of attention when she works out 4 The model doesn't mind the attention 4 She can lift heavier weights than most men in the gym Fellas often ask her to be their spotter because they are so overawed by her larger than life look. She said: "A lot of people think that women should be smaller and that men should be the strong ones who take care of everything. 'But I love being a big, strong woman – especially in the gym. I don't see a problem with flipping gender roles. 'Every time I go to the gym, a man will ask me to spot them, and I'm happy to do it. I get some stares and comments now and then, but I think most men are curious or impressed by what I can do. 'Or maybe they feel intimidated. I love feeling fit and strong. The gym feels like home." Marie now runs a successful OnlyFans page and rakes in £7.5m a year - earnings that helped her build a £75k gym in her own home. The influencer, who has 2.9m followers on Instagram (@marietemara), has transformed her life after she used to be bullied for her size. Cruel trolls would call her 'Bigfoot' or say that she 'looked like the Jolly Green Giant'. But the Miami-based fitness fanatic turned what they viewed as a weakness into her biggest strength. She said: 'It seems to be older men who make rude comments. I made six figures on OnlyFans but would give it all back not to be an embarrassment to my daughter, says Jemma Lucy 'They'll give a funny look and say, 'I can lift that' – I didn't ask if they could. 'I try not to let their negativity bother me, but I'll admit that it can feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes.' 'They would call me a man because I was so tall, so I wanted to lose weight and get fit. 'I started going to the gym every day, but it didn't stop them. 'Now, I get messages from the same bullies, trying to befriend me. 'They'll say 'Hey, do you remember when we went to school together?' – but I don't reply. 'The first thing I did after buying my house was build my gym. 'I plan to knock it down to double the size in the next few years.' Marie, who used to be an accountant, added: 'I truly hope to see more women owning their strength and taking up space in the weight room. "Lifting isn't just for guys; it's empowering, confidence-boosting, and so worth it. Let's normalise strong women."
