Give your beauty to the people who can stare back in real-time and give you theirs. I rarely think I look like myself in pictures and that’s because I look like me outside where my expressions harmonize with the sunlight. This portrait of Dorothy Beridge, (by Joseph Wright of Derby) is on display in MIA and they actually have a plaque describing her as having plain features, which is the worst insult of the 18th century. She‘s trapped in a museum where the professionals call her uggo. I want to meet her in person where those features are meant to be seen. But, she gave that to her friends and family, not the strangers passing her by on their way to the elevators.

Shes a doll!! I think everyone is weird looking if you look hard enough, which is really freeing because it means everyone can be beautiful too

one might say “i’m not photogenic“ but why not make that “my beauty cannot be captured on camera”

Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder or is a dimly lit picture of a sandwich just not worth it?

I sometimes worry that I wouldn’t be such a feminist if I had bigger tits.

My toaster is having a bad week so she doesn’t have the energy to hold the lever down anymore. Which means I have to stand there pressing it down for three minutes making sure my toast doesn’t burn. I used to take that time for granted, now it’s being robbed of me by my broken toaster. Trying to give her grace.
