“I Always Knew” - The Vaccines

I try my best to unwind, nothing on my mind but you, oblivious to all that I’ll owe, I’m hanging on to what I don’t know

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

this is the laziest thing i’ve seen in my entire life

It’s really vitally important to me the way women are portrayed. As someone who has always felt at times pretty genderless because of my size, it interests me to challenge ideas of prejudice and femininity and what it is to be a woman. It’s still something that I don’t have all the answers for but I would like to make a bit of a difference; do something, anything, that causes people to have more sense of equality….

Imagine; I used to have really long blonde hair, always wearing heels, lots of make-up. I had been someone who was highly feminised and had chosen to look that way, partly because I was 6ft 3in but also I was into that aesthetic. I knew it had to be stripped away. I knew this would be an important part not just for my work but in terms of my own development, because I would be confronting elements of myself that I didn’t want to confront. It was actor’s vanity and personal vanity. To see yourself displayed as unattractive, large, masculine, it’s quite tough… But I know it’s just perspective. A social conditioning that causes us to view these traits in a woman in a negative way, but it’s still hard to watch myself even now. (x)

The Happy Endings one made me laugh the hardest, although the 30 Rock one was amazing

LOL the Happy Endings one
