So, I was reading through my comments the other day when I came across one that really disturbed me…This girl is really pretty. NO HOMO. I know what you’re thinking “It’s 2012 who still says that”. I thought the same thing too. But for those of you who don’t know. No Homo is a qualifier that is used to assure your present company that you are not in fact a homosexual. Because this phrase makes my skin crawl. I decided to make up a few qualifiers of my own and with your help I hope that I can make these really popular in 2012. - Chescaleigh

This girl is amazing. “She’s beautiful…oh, no pedo.” “WHAT?!”

thoughts on the necessity of "sexiness" for women writers

Because even though I indentify as feminist, there are certain knee-jerk reactions that I don’t know if I will ever not have.  Recently I went to an open mic and a conventionally unattractive woman (overweight, not particularly feminine) read a poem about a sexual experience and my immediate reaction was aversion (closely followed by shame for having felt that way and I AM A BAD FEMINIST.)

(cont.)

new blog post!  If you missed it yesterday, this is my new blog where I actually write things.  (This is the accompanying tumblr.)

Did anyone else see Thom Brown’s FW12 collection in Paris a few days ago and regret not going for thehunchbacked American football fetishist look before Thom went and made it all mainstream? That’s the problem with fashion, just as you settle on a new sartorial direction that’s never been done before, some designer comes and rips off your botanist meets advertising executive look for their new collection. For example, just ask the Congolese Sapeurs what they think about Paul Smith’s SS10 collection. I bet they were pissed.

I actually kind of love this.

i know that the bicycle thing is probably being used as a euphemism for “he sleeps with a lot of people” but all i could imagine at first was going on a date with a really attractive, intelligent man, and you get super attached to him but then one day when you finally go back to his house after dinner you unzip his pants or unbutton his shirt and suddenly all of his clothes fall off and he’s a bike. literally a bike. he clatters to the ground with a cling and a clang and you stand there in the living room, staring at a bike on the ground, and you think, why does this always happen to me

Ugh, I hate it when my boyfriends turn out to be Illuminati.

Now with srs writr blog.

Hi followers!  That’s^ my new blog where I’m actually going to write things (creative stuff, feminist thoughts, blogging about my feelings etc,) if you’re interested.  I considered just doing that more on this blog, but I feel like most of you follow me on tumblr anyway because I don’t say much.  But if you’re curious, you can follow me there too :)  (Or just go directly to my blogspot.)
