circumcisions:

boobs and boob censorship and the point at which boobs are considered nude are so weird. you can see the whole damn boob without seeing the nipple and it’s like wow look at that boob! what a nice, safe boob. as soon as u see that little tiny sliver of darker skin that is part of the nipple everyone freaks out and its like HEY WOAH CONTAIN THAT NIPPLE U NAKED BOOB 

there’s a formal pageantry one needs to adhere to in order to signify a desire to be part of a certain community. fashion, when it reaches a certain level, is not so much about the merchandise anymore. nicolas is getting it right—his shows for balenciaga are about technical experimentation in clothing. this is a value he’s expressing through clothes, and he’s good at making modern, innovative, technical experiments. it doesn’t really have to do with what these pieces are like as wearables, but it’s brilliant in what it is.

my ad for beauty products

girls putting makeup on like warpaint and kicking people in the face

old ladies wearing eyeshadow and getting flocked by hunks who carry them away and crown them queens of their own country

girls putting on makeup and then just sitting and eating doritos in front of the computer all day because fuck it that shits for you

ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN PLINKY-PLONKY MUSIC AND EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION AND BEING CONDESCENDED TO

one of the times i was volunteering, i was working with a woman who was telling me about her Cousin Who Is Gay and how Yanno That Kind Of Thing Is Fine With Me but how some of her family is uncomfortable with it
