I’m German, Irish, and English.  Read: white.  I gestated my baby for 42 weeks because my ancestors were from the arctic north, I have light eyes and hair, and a Scandinavian look (or so I’ve been told), I tan eventually, but will most likely burn first.  Therefore, there’s nothing I hate more than the heat.  The fucking goddamned h e a t.  Bleh.

I grew up in a temperate climate where it snowed once every 7 years or so, but the seasons were at least delineated by distinct temperatures.  Where I live now, however, summers last 8 months and the winter is over before I even get the chance to wear all my sweaters.  I long for grey skies and rosy cheeks.  But, whining is for weaklings and so I go hard and fast into summers here.

I’m not afraid to don a bikini and let it all hang out.  I don’t care that I’m not a hard-body (I like my soft-body); I don’t care that I am not perfect (I find beauty in my imperfections); and I don’t care that no one has Instagram-glasses and sees me as I really am (I’ll use the shit outta that app here).  I adore the water and I adore my body.  I guess it’s the one thing I can enjoy out of these blistering summers.

I hope you enjoy my enjoyment.

I wish I really looked like this.

A face should be where my hand is, don’t you think??

Mind the bow.
