The shape is the most important to me because it is what really matters and what's really missing in the market. Anything else is easier.

To be thin and to stay really thin, sometimes some people literally do coke all the time. Some people smoke cigarettes instead of eating. That's crazy. But that's 'okay' because you look healthier.

Portland is a place where you can find a community as a feminist, a vegan or a fat activist. Artists, musicians, knitters, and filmmakers can all meet like-minded souls. It's proved the perfect place for me and all my punk friends.

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.

I know what I want! And I just go for it.

We have to stop this idea that we have to be a certain shape.

Sometimes love can mean letting go and loving each other from a distance. Maybe that's what you're feeling?
