SO I got my Starry Night Black Milk Leggings in today
yeah, not impressed.
Its just expensive printed thin spandex. But maybe its because I know how clothing is made/how much it costs to make clothing. Its just not that great, for me personally.
Eh
Woes of a dark skinned Asian Girl
I recently made a post voicing my disinterest in and dislike of being told what the “type” (the typical aesthetics one is sexually attracted to) of my significant other(s), in which I used the sentence “Specially if it’s the exact opposite of what I[sic] look like.”
I got asked “Why specially if it’s the opposite of what you look like?”. Other than the obvious which is that it’s not a necessary thing to tell and is slightly insensitive (as unintended as it may be), I have other reason for said statement.
It’s important for you to know that THIS rant is from the point of view of a dark skinned Asian girl and that the “opposite type” i was referring to was the typical white, western look. I’m letting out a lifetime of bull because this issue is complicated so read at your own risk:
This really hits home, and I am really happy that you wrote this. I hope people read this and understand that it is not meant to offend anyone, but to give some insight to a middle eastern girls life (or asian, as she used), growing up in a Western nation. and I feel like its something that not many western girls consider, not that they necessarily have to, or that I am saying that its ignorant for them not to - because that is not my point.
As a middle eastern girl, I have medium-beige skin, not as dark as I grew up, and I have the typical large middle eastern nose that was my main point of hatred growing up. Also, as someone that is into heavy music and goth culture, etc, I am surrounded and attracted to western guys. I have always felt that I have to try harder than normal to get them to notice me, as I grew up. Its not that I am calling them rascist, but typically, those guys dont grow up believing or seeing middle eastern women as their ideal, a lot like how I dont see middle eastern men as my ideal.
For me, its beyond skin. Its my features, its fighting with the ideals of my family, its two cultures that are the equivalent of oil and water.
