Girl, get it. GET IT.
Though… Fuck me, now I have to buy Cosmopolitan.

I know I’m basically obsessed with Ashley Graham at this point, but… but…
C’mon, y’all, godDAMN.
Notes to self:
— Obtain first bikini
— Go to beach
— FLAUNT
I just finished reading a book called Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls, and the author, Jes Baker, points out that you rarely see “larger” women paired with thinner men in advertising or pop culture. I hadn’t really noticed that before, but…yeah.
Generally, I’m not attracted to men who weigh less than I do. That may well be years of indoctrinated body anxiety, but I don’t want to look like I ATE my Person. Logically I know it’s not true, but I feel like I’d break a thinner man in half — I want a dude who looks like he can TAKE me, even if, again, I understand a thinner man could.

Hmm… Wasn’t there some burger chain commercial with bikini-clad chicks who probably never ate burgers gyrating on cars and shoving the fast-food equivalents of “big dick” porn into their faces?
Ah. Yes, this covers it quite nicely: Via Jezebel, A History of Disgusting Carl’s Jr. Ads.
So I have a hard time being offended by this. Though I guess “slightly NSFW” in that, perhaps as a general life policy, maybe you shouldn’t have lingerie chicks lolling about on your work computer.

Also, let us please continue my possibly-creepy worship of Ashley Graham.
And last, from last night’s Scandal, Kerry Washington is my hero. I’m in the process of creating a “vision board” as one of the hippie-dippy elements of therapy (*eye roll*), and goddammit, I’m getting rid of everything I have and just building an altar to Kerry Washington, and obviously also to Shonda Rhimes. There will obviously be Scandles. (See what I did there?)

Choose your own snark:
1. If you need me, I’ll be slamming my head into a wall.
2. I don’t even really have time to comment on this. I’m too busy packing and booking a flight, because if she’s “plus-sized,” I’m clearly the queen of England, and my people are probably wondering where I’ve been.
Not snark: “‘I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt,'” Graham says in a statement.”
Goddamn right, girl. Go on with your bad self.
