my mother always claimed that my face was not feminine enough to have short hair. always wanted it. took me 30 years to do it and i am SLAYING the short hair thing! i also dyed it to look like an autumn tree. it gorgeous. and, surprise, my mother loves it.

oh jeez. my best friend of the past 15 years is getting married. she was my maid of honor. she helped me with my divorce. she was one of the few people invited to my second, very small wedding. we drank champagne and giggled and she got me ready. she got engaged, and asked someone else to be her one and only…

how so? i mean, in an arena where even feminists can end up slut-shaming other women without even thinking about what they are doing? at least someone is owning this and putting it into any sort of spotlight.
