I was bustier and curvier at 12 and almost everything on me was not appropriate unless it was big, baggy and unisex. Then I realized I was not the problem, adults were. You sexualized her. Hope that helps.
Honestly the way blue Ivy a 12 year old is over sexualized by her parents needs to be studied because she still a child and they’re dressing her like she’s 17-18 year old.

People will tell you to get her an iPad so she can develop it more. No, get her a sewing machine and get her into sewing classes. Actualizing a talent by fostering the basic skills needed during childhood is the first step. And as she develops take her to fashion based gatherings.
Do you think my 11 years old daughter got real talent ? How I could help her to develop it ? .#fashion #designer

In 25 years of marriage, my mom has waken up everyday to make breakfast for my dad before he goes to work. Even on days she doesn’t like him very much.

When someone does something that bothers you, address it within the day. Stop holding things in and blowing up later . Its hard but keep practicing.

Who has a vast history in destroying artwork, architecture and artifacts?.
BLM would probably destroy this. They don’t like art. They just like murals of some drug addict.

I generally sell paintings for $2,000 or more. The most I’ve sold one for is $10k. And my prices will still be going up. Just want to put that out there for people that want a $150 painting from me. How do y’all think I make a career from art?.

Before I mute, there is nothing wrong with tweeting about what you like. However, I am not that. He should be going after his type because for 4 months, I’ve been unapologetically myself and he’s commented how he loves that I’m a strong independent woman.

I let go of my house cleaner 4 months ago because I was embarrassed at why I couldn’t clean a 2 bed 2 bath by myself. Having to wake up at 6am because it’s the only time I have to clean has been my 13th reason why so I will be calling her back. I’m even going to bake her a pie.

Exactly. If you’re big chest friendly and want bras that actually fit with outfits, these are some recommendations in the thread. The cut off is going to be a U.S (H) for this . I’m wearing a Balconette Bra here. If you have a full chest I suggest a full lace with wide straps
All those bras but she made the video in one that doesn’t fit….

I’ve been helping a trans woman get on her feet for a year now. - Jobs refused interviews when she showed up. Even McDonald’s.- When she finally got a job after months of rejection, no one would respond to her inquiries to rent a room but would respond to my dms.
one day we will have a honest conversation about how certain groups weaponize their identities to get their bills paid and then accuse folks of being phobic when it doesn’t work out for them.

I would like to suggest this floor cleaner for ppl with vinyl wood floors (LVP). It won’t leave a residue, will dry streak free, and will keep your floors cleaner longer. Your floor gets sticky from the wrong cleaner and gets dirtier over time (*cough* fabuloso *cough*)
young people aren’t using mops to clean their floors anymore, they’re using swiffer wet jets. and they not even sweeping before they do it.

And when she gets bored of the old ladies at Joanne teaching how to sew an apron for the 100th time, please find a local seamstress (easy to find online) and get her to apprentice. If she decides she does not want to be creating, show her the other facets of the fashion industry.
