This is a reply to those posts that say things like “real women have curves!” etc. Not having curves doesn’t make you any less of a real woman.

Note: I am not trying to imply that HAVING curves makes you less of a real woman either…

I’m focusing on messages that I’ve seen on Tumblr that put down skinny girls, such as one that I saw that said “Men like meat on their girls, bones are for dogs” (something along those lines). I think “real women have curves” is better, and it’s great about encouraging women of all shapes to feel okay in their skin, but it’s unnecessary and wrong to have to put down skinny girls in the process :)

This. This so much. Although, I actually do like the “real women have curves” thing, since it’s a positive message and all. Mostly I just have always hated the implication that skinny girls aren’t “real” women, whether that’s how they’re naturally built or not~

BE ON TUMBLR MORE.

Sat, 18 Jun 2011 04:10:00 -0400

yes-butno:

Explanation: Being nice to people doesn’t mean you’re a fake person, either you 1) are just a nice person, 2) WANT/TRY to be a nice person, or 3) don’t want to be a mean person. That sounds really repetitive, but it isn’t the same! Just because someone tries to be nice doesn’t mean they’re being fake. You can’t get through life being a jerk whenever you want to be!

^ I AGREE WITH THIS SO MUCH.

This is a legit concern of mine sometimes. I like to think I really AM a nice person, or I try at least, but then I wonder how people perceive it or how I come off. Because if people think it’s fake then it just seems like I’m a secret bitch. Which is totally not something I want to let people in on.
LOL KIDDING. When I’m nice to you, I really do mean it :)

This… fits.

The following took place between Kevin and I on MSN at 3 AM

Kevin: i am zee worst person to vent to XD

Me: *insert name* just said i was curvy…omg someone get him out of my life. LOL OMG I’M SORRY. i just realized that was venting. I TYPED IT BEFORE YOU SAID YOU’RE THE WORST PERSON TO VENT TO.

Kevin: omg legit laughing XDD curvy wtf…continue to vent plz

Me: there was a lull in the convo bc im not very invested in speaking to him. and he asked when i was going to grow the other two thirds of myself. and i was like LOL i didn’t have any plans to actually, although my size or lack thereof does keep coming up lately. and he was like bahaha, it’s unique, and the other upside is you’re curvy. kevin, take note: never say this to a girl online in the middle of the night

Kevin: HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LAUGH IN REAL LIFE…! XD

Me: LOL XD

Kevin: oh my gawd what is your life! XDD

Kevin then offered to treat me to some KFC in honour of my new curvy body.

He would, wouldn’t he? =<

How does one stay so fabulous all the time?

Tue, 22 Feb 2011 02:15:40 -0500

It helps a great deal when one has fabulous friends. Even MORE so when one of those friends is named Kate. I believe there’s a science proving this. I wouldn’t know for sure though, because I’m not science-y.

ASIDE FROM THAT…drink tea and smile :)

pikapikaprostitute: Dear Tumblr, This shit, it needs to...

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 01:27:00 -0500

pikapikaprostitute:

Dear Tumblr,

This shit, it needs to stop.

You don’t fucking practice what you preach.

In your attempts to make bigger girls feel beautiful, you make the skinny as fuck girls like me feel like shit.

As much as I think both are beautiful, neither should be brought down. Its wrong to see pictures like “Size 0 isn’t a size” or this shit. You make it seem like we’re freaks or nasty because we’re naturally small.

Seriously, shut up.

EVERYONE, WHETHER THEY ARE SIZE 00 OR SIZE 34 IS BEAUTIFUL SO CUT THIS SHIT.

Sometimes I feel like people will think I’m just a typical “skinny bitch” for wanting to defend my body type. But then I think about how pissed off I get for feeling that way. It’s not a thin girl vs. curvy girl battle. There IS beauty in every size, and you shouldn’t need to make someone feel bad about how their body naturally is to make yourself feel better about how your body naturally is.

Size 0 is as much of a size as size 14. I’m as much of a “real” girl as anyone else. And if you still feel the desire to bring me down because of how I look, then I kind of feel sorry for you, because there isn’t a single body image issue out there that can be made better by hate, and you clearly haven’t realized that yet.

Size-ism sucks. :(

drunk words = sober thoughts. but not really. i think?

Thu, 30 Dec 2010 02:00:59 -0500

last night my (HILARIOUSLY) drunk friend said how i’m basically boobs and legs.

…

LOLWHAT. XD

he added “and a pretty face” a while later. as an AFTERTHOUGHT. D:

i just felt this was ridiculous enough that i needed to document it somewhere. and i think my tumblr gets less traffic than my facebook/twitter :P

not that advertising the fact i’m apparently all boobs and legs is a bad thing…?

wait. no lauren. saying things like that are why your friends keep up the running joke about you being a whore.

shoot.

these cupcakes must be on drugs

“I have the greatest affection for them [donuts], but I know they’re not going to make it for 500 years. They aren’t. You know it, too. The Cupcakes are a different cup of tea. They have a heritage. At the present time they showboat, they’re dishonest, but they do have some concept of shelf life. They don’t sit in a box like a bunch of Ding Dongs, which the Donuts do retail like.”

WHAT

these are the most flamboyant cupcakes I have ever seen

I love how they always give me a disapproving look as I walk by them with my super short hair.

~~I’m sorry my hair can’t be that fabulous!~~ *-*

LOL I was at Woodbine with my friend Phil once, and one of those ladies asked me how I styled my hair. And I forget what I said. But when we walked away, Phil said next time she asked me I should say “Jesus. Jesus styles my hair. Is your flat iron better than JESUS?”
But I’ve never had an opportunity since then. :C

bittersweetballad:

The only thing you should be faking is confidence. If you don’t have it yet, pretend you do. In every new situation, pretend you’re not nervous, pretend you’re not afraid. After a few times doing this, the pretend part disappears.
