“The
Conversation about women’s bodies exists largely outside of us, while it is
also directed at (and marketed to) us, and used to define and control us. Our
voices, our personhood, our potential, and our accomplishments are regularly
minimized and muted.” Ashley Judd
“She (Heidi Klum) is simply too heavy and has
too big a bust. And
she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde – that is commercial!” Wolfgang

actresses. I just did not see myself in that world.” Kate Windslow.

your curves - they may be
dangerous but they won't be avoided." “Curve: The loveliest distance between two points.” Mae West.
“There
are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do
to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you,
people say one thing and mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you
have to know what you can and can't do.” Elizabeth Scott, The Unwritten Rule
