I NEED to find these heels. As in, NEED. Everyone seems to have found them from someone who found them, from someone who found them…. biggest internet mystery
““Fat” is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her. I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain…I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’ ‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’ What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller!Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate! I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.”—

quote of the day (borrowed)
Yesterday I met a 10 year old girl. Her father (who happened to be a producer) introduced me to her and mentioned I was an actress. She looked up at me and said “I can tell you’re a really good actress… because you’re pretty”.
Now, as flattered as I was by this sweet little girl, my heart instantly broke. I responded “Thank you, that was very sweet. But listen, just because someone is pretty… does not make them a good actress”.
Judging by the look on her fathers face, I’d say it was a little out of left field and maybe crossing a line. I couldn’t help but make some sort of an imprint, and maybe say something that would perhaps change this impressionable young girls view on women and society. Maybe it’ll force her to look deeper or harder next time she watches the Disney channel or a movie. Maybe she won’t overlook the less attractive people in life and find what’s really there. Maybe she will see that a nice smile can be ugly and a less than “perfect” one can be stunning.
Or maybe she will forget everything I said and remember me as pretty and crazy.
Either way, it was a moment. One I felt was worth writing about. One that reminded me of the world we are raising women in.
Sweet dreams…Chelsea.
even if you can’t climb a tree…
I love this girl AND all of her ridiculous faces. Brit fan for life.
We need to teach our daughters/the girls of the world…
This is such a cool photo! Always wanted to try sparkler art.
I did this last week during an inspired session of sparkler art among friends. You can see my ghost in the left wing as I was drawing.
The shark animatronic guys really loved sharks. There was one guy doing the tail, one guy doing the body and one guy with the jaws. And the jaw guy would be sooo into it…he was like the “Rain Man” of sharks.
Sara’s shark face is HILARIOUS…. thank you for making a .gif of this!!!!
