Read MoreMy body is an hourglass. My color palette: soft summer. I look best in light blues, butter yellows, and baby pinks. Feminine clothes look best. Do not wear anything baggy…
Read MoreIn 7th grade, I got braces put on and for each and every following day, I pulled my lips back to inspect my changing mouth in the mirror. Huffs of my breath fogging the glass as I searched for something I never found: a perfect smile…
Read MoreKitKatClub is a well-known club in Berlin and has been around since 1994. KitKat is known first and foremost as a sex club. But, its vast size allows for sex and regular ongoings of a club to coexist. Sex wasn’t what I was seeking. I simply wanted a space where I could dance without the constraint of clothes…
Read MoreI met him first in Barcelona, in the dim light of a friend of a friend’s apartment. He wore a cropped graphic t-shirt and baggy jeans, his nails were painted black, and each knuckle displayed a different thrifted ring. We talked about reality television, as Love Island had just finished, but the conversation rapidly spiraled into a heated debate regarding the free use of filler injections…

I often look back on my middle and early high school outfits with disgust. However, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia pang in my chest. Every time one of those ancient “fit checks” taken in the school bathroom mirror pops up, I’m reminded of who I used to be…
Read MoreOne might say lingerie and intimate are synonymous. Plus, it’s true that lingerie is often seen as a symbol of sexiness. But it’s also quiet confidence.
