My 23-Year-Old Bottom
“I weigh more now than I have before, and now that I’m older it’s settling differently… …aka in my ass and thighs… …but I’m kind of on board with it. I feel hot, so fuck it. Frankly, I don’t feel like devoting my energy to sculpting the ass of a 12 yr old out of [...]
Then They Came For Me
“First they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist. Then they came for me [...]

An active charity-supporter, muse, and art hero – Daphne Guinness is a [...]
Noteworthy #003: Jennifer Love Hewitt
Jennifer Love Hewitt has been the center of some major scrutiny when it comes to “ideal bodies” in the media’s eyes. One vacation produced photos that spanned the ‘net and lingered for months, and months… She handled it like a pro, though, and returns triumphantly with a great outlook on body image. Coming from a [...]
Noteworthy #002: Christina Hendricks

She was recently interviewed as a “Healthy Celebrity” (noteworthy on its own, good job, media!) in the latest issue of Health magazine. It took only three questions about random things before [...]
