"Was an Italian Baroque painter. Gentileschi is considered among the most accomplished 17th-century artists, initially working in the style of Caravaggio. She was producing professional work by the age of 15.

"Someone put a gun
Straight to our hearts and paint the walls
With our love
There's a world of hurt in us
And maybe once we spill our guts
We can stitch ourselves back up"

As long as we continue to see women as objects, we have no need to question the necessity or desirability of different beauty practices. As long as young girls learn that their looks are always being evaluated by others, they’ll grow up to become women willing to pay any price for beauty

- Beauty sick

I sometimes think I could take on the world,

And my pores need cleansing and my skin needs toning
And my boobs need padding and my hair needs combing
