Want you to make me feel
Like I’m the only pearl in the world
Like you only handle me with white gloves
Like I’m the only bivalvan work of art
Only pearl in the world
Like my baroque ass is in high demand
Composed from oyster spit and sand
Gonna make you spend over 300 grand
Only pearl....

She appears to be wearing a size 2 cup sizes to small. It’s hard to know for sure due to the “arms above head” pose, which helps hide overflow: Breasts are pulled in at the sides and stretched a little, hiding the “double boobs” and overhang under the arms that she would have with her arms relaxed.

10/10 would still watch the Netflix wedding special if only to see if Antoni caters the reception by just placing 100 avocados on plates and calling it a day  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reading Jezebel instead of studying and her advice was like a kick in the pants.

Isn’t that Joseph Fiennes or am I full of shit?

I’m all for believing the woman, and this is my natural impulse, but I can’t lie and say if the man in question was someone I knew and loved, who had never showed that side to me, it wouldn’t be tempting not to make that the exception. Another natural impulse would want to take over.

I’M SO EXCITED. There are so many ways to go with this I’m so excited that I know I’m going to be disappointed. I’m screaming for some Dolce and Gabbana insanity. Memento Moris EVERYWHERE PLEASE. St Sebastian??? St Lucy holding a plate of eyes???? ALL OF IT.

She’s scandalously under-appreciated, but I’ve been a fan for thirty years. The link I posted shows 122 of her works.

There is zero Remedios Varo. That’s a huge miss.

Piers Anthony’s EVERYTHING, to be honest. Firefly was creepy enough that I didn’t finish it (or even really start it... I think I read one chapter in a Walgreens and noped the heck out), but at least it was targeted to adults. Xanth and those Apprentice Adept books were targeted to tweens/teens. That was the age I…

Same - I read all the Xanth books as a kid and loved them, and then I re-read a bunch of them (plus the Incarnations of Immortality and the Apprentice Adept ones) as an adult and I was suuuuuuuper grossed out by his depictions of literally anything related to gender and sex, and now I’m concerned about how much that…

Thank you. I read the hell out of Anthony when I was a pre-teen, but when I was about 16 I went back and re-read, and was totally skeeved out. This puts it all in context.

OBVIOUSLY. Women are either hot and dumb, or ugly and wise. Or somewhere along that spectrum. It’s just science, duh.

I read all those Xanth books! No wonder I had so much internalized misogyny as an adolescent. Do you remember the woman whose personality and appearance fluctuated monthly? She was an ugly, but brilliant harpy who was kept in a pit, then changed to an average looking woman of average intelligence, and then changed to…

We definitely see eye to eye on this. I was a big fan when I was a kid. Things were starting to make me uneasy as time went on and after reading Firefly I tried to go back and read his Xanth novels again and my eyes were opened to juuuust how creepy Mr. Anthony was. What a shame.

Piers Anthony’s depiction of women generally is horrible. I LOVED his books as a young reader, until finally the “WTF?” pile built up too high and I just couldn’t move past it anymore.

I had always hoped it was the Queen.

@AimAtTheFace: Well he had to cover his tracks as a time traveller, so he made the boobs a little smaller. If you look under a microscope, you can see the boobs were originally painted to be at least Ds. In fact, the shell is representative of a bra cup.
