I have been thinking about this for a time, and right now I have a pounding headache and I'm feeling pissed off at culture, so the time is right to condense my thoughts.
It is not my obligation to adhere to the prevailing cultural standards of female beauty so that other people will feel aesthetic pleasure upon looking at me.
(
what became an essay )
The aesthetic things I do? I do for me. (Leg shaving? I dig it. Pubic hair manicuring? Not so much. I'm a fan of trimming and then leaving it be.)
I also dig super groomed eyebrows on me. Really frames my face nicely. I dig makeup but really eww to most lipstick. I'm not a fan of eyeliner unless I'm really in the mood for it. I LOVE mascara. If I do nothing else I put on mascara and lip balm.

I bet your skirt is awesome. (I like to wear either bigger black "boy shorts" over tights with short skirts or under summery things, my BLOOMERS! Yes... black eyelet trimmed cotton lolita undies. So breezy when it's very very hot and when it's breezy I like very floaty dresses. (HELLO upskirts without them.) *And then I can climb and stand on bleachers and just run/skip and let the wind of the lake blow.)

Dude, you found BLOOMERS? Where does one get those? I get a kick out of fun underwear even if I'm the only one who sees it. When Victoria's Secret put neon pink and yellow zebra-print on their website, I actually clapped my hands in glee. And then I bought some, along with royal blue, and lime green, and bright purple. Colors, wheee!

I bought mine custom in black pure cotton batiste from:

Mine are short hipster bloomers and I LOVE THEM. (They make excellent "sexy times" pjs too. I don't "do that stuff". I love cute tanks/camis with cotton pj bottoms for that kind of thing. I look RIDICULOUS in lingerie. The CLOSEST I come to it is pairing a black bra with said black boy shorts. I used to do colors... but I was younger and now I can't be arsed.)

I'd just walked the runway in front of over 1,000 people. (Including Nabeshin... his friend who is a cosplay idol was in the show. She is ridiculously adorable and speaks about as much English as I speak Japanese. We did agree that the other was "Yoo so adorable." and she was of course, "Super Kawaii" and OMFG TINY.
