I’m not sure if you’re agreeing with me or not, but I agree with you. I hope my comment came off that I want women’s behavior to not be curtailed by potential attackers, but for women (and men!) to have the knowledge that they need to protect themselves how they see fit.

I think at 11 years old she’s still very much figuring out who she is, and a black stripper bra sends a certain message to an impressionable mind about “what is important” (i.e. sexiness).

I was wondering when someone was going to ask :)

You looking for him to go deeeeeeeeep somewhere else too? ;)

Elizabeth Smart is an inspiration and a badass.

No idea. But it’s not as if it will hurt album sales.

Oh, AND! The fact that her design team sloppily left behind artifacts of serifs:

Is it the font itself, or the fact that it’s arranged like fifth-grader’s collage?
