“If you inherently long for something, become it first. If you want gardens, become the gardener. If you want love, embody love. If you want mental stimulation, change the conversation. If you want peace, exude calmness. If you want to fill your world with artists, begin to paint. If you want to be valued, respect your own time. If you want to live ecstatically, find the ecstasy within yourself. This is how to draw it in, day by day, inch by inch.”

— Victoria Erickson (via luna—belle)

Fun fact: According to Greek legend there was a famous prostitute who managed to avoid a death sentence by showing the judges her boobs and arguing that it would be a crime against the Gods to destroy something so beautiful. 

Before you ask, yes there are paintings of this. And yes, they’re amazing.

The gay one

[suzie-guru]

No, but this is one of my absolute favorite bits of history! 

The courtesan named was named Phryne and she was indeed a renowned beauty, and was indeed was put on trial for a capital crime. And yes, the sum of her defense consisted of her stripping in court (helped by her lover/defendant) and asking the jury (all males) if they were prepared to destroy this. 

But this is actually a very interesting case of Values Dissonance - the capital crime she was accused of was blasphemy. In Ancient Greek society, exceptional beauty was a sign of favor from the gods, and they took the idea that beauty indicated goodness with great seriousness. They even called their nobles Kaloi k'Agathoi, “the Beautiful and the Good.” 

So by showing off her great physical beauty, Phryne was being very clever indeed, her argument essentially being “How could I possibly commit blasphemy if the gods have given me this body?“ 

God, I adore history.

IT’S SUCH A CUTE WATER PUPPY

[blueberrymayrose]

 I have seen one when swimming, and I consider myself super lucky because they are shy and only swim in super clean water.

[ever-hungry-aria]

I didn’t know they were so small and they wiggle their legs just like puppies!!!

So I'm watching Family Feud and the question is "Name something a retired stripper might say she misses about her job"

Bitch says: "Men making her feel sexy"

That's your FIRST answer?

Strippers don't work for compliments. They work for money. Trash bags full of money.

Dreaming of the day that I can go to the grocery store by myself without feeling like I have "filet mignon" written on my forehead. I havent washed my hair in 5 days, I'm wearing my boyfriends shirt and no makeup. Leave. Me. Alone.
