I wondered what the women gymnasts of the early 1900s looked like moving and I found this:

Especially reading his bit, he never had anyone who took care of him so he cannot discern romantic love from familial love.

Weird and icky, if you ask me, but I don’t see a reason why consenting adults can’t legally do as they please. As long as they don’t procreate.

This is exactly what jumped out at me – her son has never dated as an adult, he apparently has no examples of healthy familial relationships for context, and he sounds like he was desperate for any kind of love. Poor kid :(

Lone Star. I came out of the movie thinking “well...if they’re not having kids is it really so awful?” Shortly after I read where it’s unlikely for parents who are first cousins or more distant relations than that to produce abnormal offspring. I’ve been oddly unconcerned with consensual incest ever since. The only

I saw this English tv movie with Clare Holman called Close Relations about her meeting her brother when she was 19 and he was 35 for the first time and they fell in love. It was really well done and based on a true story. They went to court and were told as long as they didn’t procreate, considering the unusual

I love 90s shoes so much. Were I in charge of the world, I would institute a policy that says that doc martens and creepers are the only acceptable business shoes. All I know is my boots have never attempted to murder me during an important presentation, but my heels definitely cant say that same.

I started middle school at the tail end of low waisted flares. I ripped so many belt loops tugging my pants so and tripped on so many flare legs. Those were dark days. Skinny jeans 5 ever.

Creepers are coming back! This is the first time I'm old enough for them, but I covet them so much. Maybe a couple yeArs before they're cheap and ubiquitous.

Female, 2 feet of hair. I’ve never paid $80 for a hair cut in my entire life. A shampoo, condition, and trim is $20 where I go.

It would be a smart move to price men’s items higher. After all, there’s no way in hell 99% of men would buy the cheaper women's version. You have a captive consumer right there.

obviously millions of Twitch users and Let’s Play watcher would argue with you how fun watching someone else play video games actually is...

I’d be like “we’re getting married now. In your cemetery.”

I was thinking maybe for the her son? No matter how rich you are, kids should pretty much always be dressed in disposable clothing. But that might be a skewed perspective since I have no children and don’t want any and they seem like little money pits to me. Cute ones, sometimes, but money pits nonetheless.

It’s a sure fire way to get to third base with me on the second date.

The cost of maintaining our past is huge but it’s what reminds us that today isn’t all there is. I know plenty of people are for putting everything on the Web and there’s value in that—spreading of knowledge, study, etc.—but nothing can replace the real thing.

I want to be her when I grow up.

Stories like these are why I avidly read Pictorial.
