okay.
so i went to bed at like 3:30 am, and at 8:30 the upstairs neighbours started doing construction? and all i hear are stomping boots.. so i haven’t been able to get the sleep i need. i saw that there were new messages, but i decided i’m not going to read them right now. i’m going to turn off my computer and try and stay away from the internet for a bit. you know how it is.

Anonymous asked: ...When people point out that you're being hurtful, it might be inadvisable to publicly agree with your friends who are saying, "God, those people are morons!" even though I know it's instinct to just let your friends try to make you feel better. I wasn't even bothered by the fact that you posted great outfits along with some amazing chubby girls, but your response to the...
andibgoode asked: I'm just going to join in on the 'you are awesome' chorus. You're one of the people who made me start thinking critically about fashion and about a lot of other things. And also one of the reasons I'm slowly being more comfortable with expressing my opinion on the internet (aside from This dress is pretty/this classic actor is dreamy) and not immediately deleting it...
Anonymous asked: okay, honestly? i think you just don't get it when it comes to some things. i think it's great that you're supportive, but if you understood what fat women go through on a daily basis... and i know that ALL women experience body policing and general assholery everyday. but i don't think you understand the contempt that fat women face. people--especially men--resent having to...
fraulein asked: don't know why you have all these haters saying moronic shit to you. you're one of the best people I follow and I wish there were more of you. yes I am somewhat drunk.
Anonymous asked: I have no idea what that other anon means re: "boy clothes," but I think they might have had a point re: the fat appropriation had they bothered to elaborate. I know you had a post or two rationalizing it, but it gives me pause that you consider someone "mean" just because they object to a woman who isn't fat participating in a fatshion event.
gannetguts asked: I used to lurk like a creeper around fashion communities on LJ and I remember you! I think mainly because I thought you were one of the only posters who actually THOUGHT about fashion and critiqued it and I needed that after being so immersed in the Australian Vogue fashion forums and surface thoughts about clothing. So, tl;dr, thanks from an e-stranger, you actually influenced a lot of my...
heavymuffintop asked: I just wanna say, I love you real fucking hard. I'd love it if we could get together some time and appropriate each other. I can promise it would be real sexy. HATERZ GON' HATE.

between the nasty anonymous messages i’ve been getting, the grey grey cold snowy month of april i’ve suffered through, feeling physically out of whack, stress manifesting itself in the form of terribly painful bruxism, and having pretty bad anxiety attacks… i think it’s time for some fluff.
you up for a good old fashioned fashion spam?
