I feel like one strange advantage of being a lesbian/a woman who’s attracted to other women is that it puts my own body insecurities into perspective, because when I dislike something about my body I think “would I stop being attracted to a woman if she had stretch marks/acne/a little extra body fat etc.” and the answer is always no
did you know that when this pic was taken, Julia Roberts was going to an out of town wedding, but was running late and accidentally grabbed the wrong luggage. she called the guy who’s luggage it was, who very generously said she could wear his suit to the wedding. She found a weird little bag of powder in the pocket, and absently set it on the passenger seat. She was then pulled over by a cop. (thank god it wasn’t the fashion police!) but the cop, of course, asked her what was in the baggie. she said “oh, it’s not mine” and called the guy again, giving the phone to the cop. he was silent, then said she’s free to go. julia asked the cop: well, what’s in the baggie? turns out, it was the suit owner’s mothers’s ashes.
