The Internet, really. It's amazing what you can find. There are so many different resources on the Internet and I got into blogging because of my friend's sister who had a blog, Fashion Robot, which she stopped a few months ago just because it was too much time ... I started taking more of an interest in fashion, and going to more websites like Style.com or whatever. Eventually I made a hasty decision and made my own.
Tavi GevinsonI have a problem with people saying feminine means anti-feminist, and I think it's counter-productive to immediately associate anything "girly" with vanity or stupidity. I also think it takes away from girls' agency to say that girls who are interested in that kind of thing only are because they don't know what's good for them.
Tavi GevinsonThere are moments when I am really not happy with how I look, or I think it would be an easy way out to try and do the conventionally attractive thing. But part of it is that I don't have the energy to put on, like, makeup. If people want to do that, that's fine. But I've learned that it's not for me.
Tavi GevinsonWomen are complicated...not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy, and women happen to be people.
Tavi GevinsonJust really be passionate and stick to your creative vision. Because it's competitive, and there are so many mind games and so many things that could get in the way. But success is the best revenge, so build yourself up rather than knock others down.
Tavi GevinsonGraduating high school was really emotional for me. I'd obviously made a huge thing out of what that experience was for me, and saying goodbye to it was very weird. So I had to be like, boom, onward and upward.
Tavi GevinsonI will try to hold on to the intense feeling. I will both be glad that thatโs no longer happening and kind of miss it. When youโre 14, youโre basically on drugs all the time - the hormones in your body are so crazy. But I really loved and appreciated the intensity of that. And youโre experiencing everything for the first time, so everything feels like an epiphany. And, like, I really liked the experience of having a crush, because I was like, this is my thing and it doesnโt have to do with you and youโre just some dummy boy for me to project on.
