I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them.

My number-one theory in life is that style is proportional to your lack of resources - the less you have, the more stylish you're likely to be.

Just like my straight friends, I am repeatedly asked when I plan to have kids, and have been told many times, by various branches of my bloodline, that "even lesbians can have babies these days."

I support love any healthy way you can get it.

For me the greatest revenge of all is having a happy adulthood, waking up in my gorgeous turquoise bedroom in the morning beside a person who really inspires me. That's the best revenge a girl-loving-girl from the Bible belt could possibly have. And, importantly, it's healthy.

The fit is my main focus, I want the fit to be great and that's the focal point for me.

My life hasn't been conventional and it hasn't been linear. I've had to make it up as I've gone along, which has taught me a lot. If you don't accept the obvious options that are laid out for you, it's up to you to work out where you're going and to create your own specific rules and goals.
