My ootd from last night. Went to see my buddy play at the Broken Spoke. Loved what I did with the makeup. Worked really hard to get a flawless smokey eye. Very happy with it.
These are the comfiest shoes. Like, second only to my insanely comfy studded heels from Hot Topic. Never get tired.
The necklace and earrings are from Lane Bryant. So in love with that set. XD

This is a GPOY. As in a “Gratuitous Picture of Yourself.”
Damn straight it’s gratuitous. I’m fucking GRATIFIED, right now!
I’ve been talking a lot tonight about body image and the media and skewed self image.
I’m posting this picture because of a couple reasons:
1. I goddamn felt like it
2. This year is the first time that I’ve ever felt comfortable posting this type of picture (unedited, without shadowy lighting) of this portion of my body
3. And the reason it took me so long was because I was convinced that my totally fucking fly body was in fact, not totally fucking fly
4. In fact, because about 60% of the girls at my high school had anorexia/bulimia, because I never saw a girl with pudge on tv (unless she was the token fat girl), because all the models and advertisements of happy, beautiful women I saw were all women without an ounce of fat anywhere except their boobs and ass, and because I was short, and Asian, and not blonde and white, I felt like I was one fat ass ugly motherfucker
5. And it took a shitton of effort, therapy, and support to get me to the point where I could actually post a picture like this without freaking out and taking three hours to get it perfect.
6. I mean, of course my diet is not always healthy. But by “not always healthy” I mean more like, “I go through a family pack of slim jims in about 5 days and sometimes my dinner consists of ice cream and cupcakes and a hot dog from 7-11,” versus “I at about 2000 calories in one sitting, and now I’m not going to allow myself to eat for 24 hours.”
7. So yes. Call me an attention whore, a cam whore, and an obnoxious “tumblr famous” girl. I just don’t give a fuck.
8. Know why? Because I’m fucking hot and I know it. Clap yo’ hands.
BE BRAVE! JOIN THE BODY PEACE REVOLUTION!
Ah. I found my receipt from my Avenue trip. What happened was, they had a big sale. 30 and 40% off a lot of stuff. 60% off clearance. And then an extra 35% off when you used your Avenue card. I also had a 25% entire purchase coupon from my birthday. My plan was to get all these discounts at once. XD
The wonderful ladies there managed to make it work, so my mother and I got about $950 worth of regular price stuff down to $600+ on sale and clearance. Our 25 and 35% off discounts brought the whole thing down to $250. How’s THAT for bargain hunting? I got seven things which I’m listing below and mom got about 20 things. That’s crazy for her. XD

Last day of Fatshion February, so I decided to dress up a little tonight when my family took me to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D. It’s one of my all time favorite movies and seeing it in theatres again was really special. I was 5 when this movie was released. It was really lovely.

My outfit for my birthday party last saturday night.
Bows, skirt and cuff are all gifts from my mom and sister and what I built the rest of my outfit around.
Top is LB, leggings WalMart and heels HT.
Check out my matching leopard nails? Sweet huh? I wouldn’t recommend Sally Hensen salon effects though; they’re a little nerve wracking to put on and there’s a lot of scrap trash so sit by a waste can.
Didn’t I look just freaking adorable? My bestie V said I looked like Adelle (I wasn’t sure how though…)
