Real Talk: Your Labia

plannedparenthood:

"Viva la vulva!"

Have you ever wondered if your labia look funny? Tons of people of all ages worry that their inner labia are too long/dangly, that their labia is a wonky color, or that any number of other things might be wrong down there. Which is why we were so psyched to discover that Scarleteen went ahead and broke down some of our biggest labia-related anxieties (lanxieties? labieties?).

Spoiler alert: it’s okay that your inner labia are longer than your outer ones!

This Prom Has Everything, Except for Boys - NYT
The prom countdown was nearly complete, the do-it-yourself Greek columns, pink and white tulle bows and plastic flutes with the “Once Upon a Dream” logo awaiting the evening of evenings.
But as she looked at her reflection in the mirror, her one-shoulder lavender gown matching the elaborate hijab that framed her face in a cascade of flowers — a style learned on YouTube — Tharima Ahmed knew that what lay ahead was more than simply a prom. As organizer of Hamtramck High School’s first all-girl prom, which conforms to religious beliefs forbidding dating, dancing with boys or appearing without a head scarf in front of men and boys, Ms. Ahmed, 17, was forging a new rite of passage for every teenage Muslim girl who ever spent prom night at home, wistfully watching the limousines roll by.

Helena Bonham-Carter:Everybody has an inferiority complex when they step into a room. But then when you have children and you get older, it doesn’t really matter. When I was young I had so many inferiority complexes. I had an inferiority complex because I didn’t go to university. I had an inferiority complex because I didn’t train. Then it gets tiring. And you do get bored of it.
Daniel Radcliffe:Right. And so that boredom is actually what ultimately leads you to go, “Oh, fuck it.”
Helena Bonham-Carter:“Fuck it” is my guiding philosophy.

“We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.” (via Why Will And Jada Pinkett Smith Let Daughter Willow Cut Her Hair - The Frisky)

Kara likes movies: Imagine Me & You (2005)

No, really, that you could meet someone, or just… across a room, and with that one glance you could look in their eyes and see their soul. Do you believe that could happen?
