This, all the time. I recently spoke to a group of guys about how to be allies to women, and this was one of the things I talked about. It’s amazing how much our culture teaches women to scrutinize and problematize their bodies.

I love Divine.
Polaroids of Divine by Antonio Lopez, New York City, 1978.
I’m pretty sure there’s no way to post these without being vain. I have this huge collection of photographs I took of myself between the ages of 12 and 17, and I find it fascinating. The way I gaze at myself, the way that gaze starts out unaware of itself and eventually becomes utterly contrived, my anxieties about my body, the deep sense of connection I feel to my room and my bed…

I am veeery slowly making my way through my Binary Bomb assignment by repeatedly
a) getting help from the nicest, most helpfuliest dudes ever
b) thinking about the adorable unicorn pillow pet that will be MINE on Monday
c) reminding myself of the Green Goblin’s “WE ARE WHO WE CHOOSE TO BE. NOW, CHOOSE.” (Bobby’s choice motivational quote that he was kind enough to share with me.)
Whoa, I did not recognize Nancy Sinatra with short hair and natural/no makeup until I saw the text. At first I thought it was the hair, but I think it’s because her face isn’t made up in this photograph. Or perhaps it’s because she’s a teenager or younger in this photo? I dunno. I love makeup and have nothing against it, but it is nice to see her natural face here.

Brilliant. Printing this out to keep copies in my purse.
Not a huge fan of tattoos, but I think it’s super cool how hers makes this otherwise overly twee dress pretty badass.
Also, what the hell is up with the fetishization of skinny women eating decadent/sexualized/ethereal foods? And reading? Oh male gaze, we have internalized you so. Also I love how she’s reading a picture book.

My superhero dad has run more marathons than I can keep track of through Team In Training to help find a cure for the blood and lymphatic cancers that affect him and thousands of other patients. Now, he’s turning his efforts to finding a cure for diabetes with the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure! Join me in supporting his efforts! Go, Dad!♥
