Long time no see
Am currently reading more John Le Carre, specifically The Looking Glass War and dealing with many bureaucratic jobs of an academic nature. Also occasionally lounging and rock climbing. There's a longish X-men First Class fic in the mill that hopefully I will be able to get out soon.
Also check out rosalui's project on Societal Pressure and Women's self-esteem. There are a lot of great messages on there to be read and digested. As for my own 2 cents on this issue: Rather than a duality between fashion and feminism, have both and be proud of that fact. Dress for your own pleasure, always. Now that we've covered the exterior let's get at the interior.
Remember this when choosing friends or lovers:
“I, with a deeper instinct, choose [someone] who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.”
--Anaïs Nin
Lastly I know everyone and their mom is listening to Lana Del Rey atm, but I'm late to the party. What else is new? I love this song it's such a mix of juvenile fatalism told in such a jaded adult voice. Yesss.
