"Women want to be loved like roses. They spend hours perfecting their eyebrows and toes and inventing irresistible curls that fall by accident down the back of their necks from otherwise austere hair-dos. They want their lover to remember the way they held a glass. They want to haunt.

Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.

I do love ~70s softcore b-movie horror flicks with unnecessary nudity where it's made so obvious that the beautiful woman has a bush. I wish we would bring that back.

[museenkuss]

A woman submerged in water (bathtub, ocean…), maybe swimming, and the dark triangle of her bush is just present against her nude body. The ever-loved transparent gowns and lingerie, showing soft areolas, shimmering outlines, and, a lovely contrast, clearly visible under the shifting fabric, her bush. A body flashing past, under a dress or coat etc, a tease, but, there, for a moment, the sight of her bush.

I know these films aren’t great — the actresses are usually very young and promote a very specific ideal of beauty. But this little detail is so refreshing and so lovely. A reminder of a time when this aspect of the female body was a celebrated moment of sensuality. I miss it.

Solitude had made her secretive—self-manipulated. Years of haunting had dulled her in ways you wouldn't believe and sharpened her in ways you wouldn't believe either.

for once, i don’t want almosts or maybes or something temporary. i want to know what it feels like to be chosen without hesitation, to be someone people stay for, not just someone they want for a moment, to be loved in a way that doesn’t make me question it, not even once
