i don’t think this stops in college ( via pleated-jeans)
[what’s funny though is i was never like that in college, i always did all the things on that chart except “party”, but i did do that sometimes. i’m not really like that now either but i can be sometimes and so for me i think it’s more like “weekends when you work from home”]
You know, we queer ladies have a reputation for loving to get offended over everything and anything, but getting offended over TOFU? I’m not sure whether to hand you a Lesbian Award for Extreme Lesbianness, or just a chill pill. Maybe both.
Q: What drove you to create the Autostraddle calendar?
A: Riese and I were talking at some point. I think it was after the site had been up for a year. And we were kind of like, it’s not really fair that Maxim and GQ and all these magazines have this monopoly on these sexy features on women, and these interesting things about them, their pictures, just fun highlights. So we decided we wanted to do something like that where we could feature a woman each month and talk about them and do a fun photo shoot, but we wanted to do it a little differently. So the first year it was kind of this idea that we would feature one woman a month and we would really listen to them, and we wanted to stay true to their style and who they were. I worked with Sara Medd, who’s an amazing stylist, who used to be here in New York and now she’s in LA. It was really fun and it was successful, but then this year, thinking about how we want to change and go forward, we really started to think about how we want it to be more of a series, more of an art piece. We wanted to do these images of women and it was going to be less about wardrobe and even less about body and more about body language and what we represent with our naked selves, what sort of vulnerabilities and what about our personality we get across while stripping away these layers of superficial stuff, like wardrobe.
