Ladies!
cestlaquelleestvivante:
Ok, ladies of tumblr, I want your opinions:
Generally, do you find men approaching on you on public transportation to be OK or uncomfortable?
It could be any guy from any walk of life. Any situation. But it happens on public transportation. Please reblog! I wanna get plenty of opinions.
Again, generally, do you find men approaching you on public transportation to be OK...

NO WE HAVE TO ALLY WITH THEM AGAINST THE ROBOTS
THEIR ABILITY TO OPEN JARS AND SQUEEZE THROUGH TUBES IS OUR ONLY HOPE
THEY WILL BETRAY US. I HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE, WE (HUMAN KIND) GET BETRAYED, THOUGH IN OUR LAST MOMENTS WE ARE LIT QUITE BEAUTIFULLY.

I would also support shorts and orange tights. Wait, wait. Red cutoff jorts! Knee socks?
Everyone has voted for pants, but I might do shorts (SORRY) because they are cheaper. And they are totally cutoffs. You guys, I’m not spending $50 on red pants (untilIgetmybirthdaymoney). There are $20 ones but they are...

Wasn’t Velma already a hipster? Has someone already said that?
maaaaybe? Like her glasses and hair totally are. But maybe not the skirt.

bananafin replied to your post: Halloween is Important.
I vote pants if you can find them. I am obsessed with the Ginger Haze hipster Scooby Gang.
that is sort of my inspiration. Also, maybe shorts? How do we feel about shorts? I could do orange tights then!

Halloween is Important.
Guys. For Hipster Velma Dinkley. Do I wear maroony-red pants, or go for the skirt? The pants fit in more with the aesthetic I’m looking for, but the skirt and socks will make me more identifiable? But I don’t want to be sexy Velma.
Help me, tumblr friends, you are my only hope.

First you learn that most if not all of the ideas you use to orient yourself and ground you in the world, (time! thought! culture! gender! existence! emotions! race! nationality! the sun rising tomorrow!) are socially constructed. You are entirely a product of your environment and your “unique” self and every “choice” you make, is influenced by thousands of forces you have...

Update
Much to everyone’s (?) dissapointment, Tiana is looking like a no-go by virtue of how expensive shit is, because my mom taught me that unless you are making your costume from scratch, make sure you will wear the pieces again. And I am not going to wear a (cheap) petticoat again, or an actual licensed disney costume, or ugly dance skirts. Sorry!
But Hipster!Velma Dinkley is going...

Hipster Velma Dinkley. Whoops!

What should I dooooooooooooooooo.
Also, my second/third costumes are Beyonce as...

So Columbus Day.
My Top Three Bullshit Holidays:
1) Columbus Day. Do I need to explain this? Don’t make me explain this. My grandfather was named after Christopher Columbus, and one of the worst conversations of my life was trying to explain to him why Columbus shouldn’t be considered a “national hero.” The Worst! The only good thing about Columbus day is that we had the day off of...
