I don't want an accent... I like my voice.

I've been wearing them almost every night for nearly 10 years so I'm totally used to it... it's not that uncomfortable!!

I'm not sure! Probably not, because wealth doesn't buy the ability to focus and apply oneself. Even at a progressive college, I would probably fail to meet pretty basic expectations/obligations... I have a hard enough time answering my cell phone! Too much commitment. It freaks me out.

Someone asked me this question IRL the other day and I didn't know how to answer... I feel like I don't listen to any ONE genre. The kind of music I listen to most is iPod shuffle.

I'm not an elitist about music, I rarely listen to full albums, and I don't pretend to like bands that are considered "classic" if I don't like their musical style. I'm honest. I respect everyone else's opinion in the expectation that they will respect mine. This tweet kinda sums everything up for me: https://twitter.com/#!/mollysoda/status/196409151432294402

Bottom line: there is not such thing as objectively good or bad art.

Yeah, as Madeline once said -- plastic surgery is fine as long as it doesn't come from a place of self-loathing/sexism (http://www.formspring.me/jeangreige/q/313874614100963158)

I don't think plastic surgery encourages an unhealthy beauty standard, I think the industry does. Plastic surgery is simply a reaction to the industry's influence. Many people do not believe that the way they look represents they way they ARE and seek change. That's why many people choose to get a sex change operation -- their anatomy is not indicative of their gender.

I think that as soon as we change the media, people will make better decisions about plastic surgery. I agree that most breast augmentation is the product of believing that a flat chest is embarrassing and undesirable and that's a bad attitude. But we can't apply that motivation to EVERY woman. It's important that we let people choose ways to feel more comfortable in their own skin without threatening their physical/mental health (as eating disorders do.)

Not really! I like that photographing myself in the same location for every outfit is 1) convenient 2) consistent and 3) never a distraction. My outfit is always the focal point, not the novelty of my background or quality of photo/camera lens. Since my blog is about STYLE, not photography or street trends or models or lookbooks or even events that I attend, I want to keep the content relevant to clothing. The best way to do that is to only blog about what I'm wearing, not where I am or who I'm with. Of course, those kind of details are interesting and endearing, but right now that's not where I'm at with FTBH! Using the same background for every post challenges me because it forces me to try even harder to get your attention with my creativity. I have NOTHING to fall back on... no fancy camera setting or outdoor prop or landscape. Just me, a white wall, a loveseat, and a tapestry.

My opinion is that I'm pro-choice! A woman's reproductive rights should not be up for political debate... advocates of pro-life may not realize that illegalizing abortion has less to do with "saving a baby" and more to do with controlling a woman and keeping her under the authority of patriarchal law.

Yes, I blow dry my hair after I shower, then put in the sponge rollers! I take them out as soon as I wake up. :)

Fun! Out of the clothes in my wardrobe, I'd probably wear them with orange/straw espadrille wedges, black socks, a black tank top with fringe detailing, an orange/fuschia/black fringe floral kimono, a black/gold leather belt, a black floppy hat, and bright orange "MY BEAUTIFUL ROCKET" lipstick from Lime Crime! Yet another testament to my obsession with the hippie trend... for a grungier look, I'd wear them with black lace-up boots, a fuschia/orange bandeau top, a black/silver belt, a spiky choker, a black leather jacket, and a beanie. :)

I'd love to make a profit from my ads but I rarely do! Most of my ad space is dedicated to brands that sponsor me with clothing, not cash.

Haha. I'm upset with America, too! But I love our flag anyway... it seriously is aesthetically pleasing and I can't help how awesome it looks on bandanas and leggings and shorts and crop tops *weeping*

I don't think it's hypocritical to wear clothes with the flag design... most people won't read into how 'politically charged' your outfit is. If someone asks, tell them you'd like to 'rebrand America' as a country with the same progressive values that you have. And that's why you wear the flag -- because you are actively trying to reconstruct the nation you live in.

Thanks so much! My hair is naturally straight/wavy, depending on the day and the shampoo and the weather outside. ;) I almost ALWAYS curl my hair with sponge rollers, so I rarely style it in its natural state. By the way -- your English is wonderful!

I totally understand where you're coming from and I agree with you 100%. I don't like it when people ask me about my height and weight because I feel like they're using those measurements as a standard for comparison... they see my body, think "I want to look like that... wonder how much taller or skinnier than me she is so I know exactly how hard I have to work to obtain that body type," then ask me for my height and weight and clothing size and so on. It's gross. It's not necessary. And answering those kind of questions only encourages body dysmorphia. I sound like a hypocrite because I often disclose my measurements to random people on the internet, especially here on Formspring, but I pledge not to do so any longer. I commend that you recognize the destructive implications of responding to that Lookbooker's question... I would either ignore it altogether, or reply "while I appreciate your attention, I think what I'm wearing is more important than my body type and I prefer not to share that information with other people." Throw a smiley face emoticon in there to keep it happy. :-)

I don't think it's "wrong," as in morally impermissible, I just don't think it's necessary. When we exercise pride in things we can't control, we are ascribing feelings of merit to qualities that have not really been earned in the first place. Conversely, I think when disabled people say they are proud of the way they were born or ended up, it's okay because they're challenging a beauty standard. They're not literally "proud" of their deformity, they're proud of the fact that they have high self-esteem despite society's attempts to make them feel like outcasts. When you challenge a standard, it's okay to proud. But if you are privileged in that you were born thin and beautiful and perfectly healthy, you're not challenging ANYTHING. Same principle applies to "white pride" vs. "black power."

I think that everyone should respect themselves and have high self-esteem without being arrogant. The whole "if you can be proud to be curvy, I can be proud to be thin" argument is akin to saying "if black people can have BET, why can't white people have a white entertainment channel?" And it should be extremely obvious that the latter statement is BEYOND OFFENSIVE.

Haha. If you feel insecure about your boobs, it's because the mainstream media has successfully convinced you that ONLY large breasts are attractive and desirable. And that really sucks. I'm not proud of my boobs because I didn't choose them and they don't represent my identity or personality or choices. But I don't feel insecure about them either. They're just mounds of fat! Who cares? #indifference

I hate Kim Kardashian and Old Hollywood and the 1950s. I'm full of negativity today. Boo.

If you thought I wasn't going to interpret the term "black power" in racial context WHILE HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT RACE, you are an idiot.
