A Weird Thing About Gossip That I've

Why Wear Pants When You Can Wear A Muumuu?

I Grew Up With The Motto Of "they Can't Kill You And Eat You," And I Still Think That's Right. You Sure As Hell Can't! When It Comes To Speaking About My Body Makes Other People Uncomfortable But It Doesn't Make Me Uncomfortable. It Makes Them Think More About Themselves Than It Makes Them Judge Me. I've Always Had This Body And Had To Live With It. I've Never Been A Little Thing. I've Been Smaller But I've Never Been Small, Even As A Baby. I've Never Had That Window Into That Kind Of World Where People Only Talk To You Because You're Conventionally Sexy.

I Feel Sorry... For People Who've Had Skinny Privilege And Then Have It Taken Away From Them. I Have Had A Lifetime To Adjust To Seeing How People Treat Women Who Aren't Their Idea Of Beautiful And Therefore Aren't Their Idea Of Useful, And I Had To Find Ways To Become Useful To Myself.

I Never Said I Wanted To Be A Singer For The Rest Of My Life.

For Years Now I Have Run A Kitchen-sink Punk Salon In My House, Called Salon Du Gay. In The Early Days, People Would Pay For A Riot Grrrl Bob Or A Passable Bleach Job With A Mixtape, $3 Or A Selection Of Baked Goods - Whichever They Could Afford. More Recently Though, With Gossip Doing Well, I've Performed These Punk Hair Transformations For Free.
