(I checked out your pictures on MB a long time ago! ) I think of you as a feminist who knows how to use mascara!

I'm not too far away from stereotypes about feminists, though, Vanilla, even when I do dress up like I did for these pictures. How many non-feminists would have tufts of underarm hair showing?

You know, I've thought about what you've just said and I think you're on to something. I am a feminist in my own right, I believe in having respect given as a woman, standing up for my sisters in need and I do believe there is still a disgusting degree of men over-powering women for their own pleasure. I dated a Muslim and broke up with him simply due to my freedom being tarnished by his traditional ideals. He tried to start telling me who I could see, where I could go and then expected me to ask PERMISSION to go places with others.

Ridiculous no?

Anywho, thank you for your comments, I appreciate you saying that I'm attractive because there are some who might think I'm trying to cover up who I am by wearing make up, but to be honest I think it completes me.

I adore your cheekbones in particular!!!
