Our photographer: Can you smile for the camera, Gillian?
GA: I don’t smile.
Our photographer: Can you look impish?
GA: I can do impish.
CW: You do impish but you don’t smile?
GA: [Laughing] Yes. Do you know what’s funny? Sometimes I’ll see photographs of myself in the early days of The X-Files, and I think that my attitude towards the whole thing was very similar to Kristen Stewart’s. There’s a very similar look in my eye: slightly defiant, slightly bored. All I ever got was: “Smile! Smile!” when I didn’t want to smile. And I really wish that somebody at that time had told me: “You know that it’s OK to be who you really are.”

“The whole trend of white girls appropriating black culture was so corny—it was more corny than it was offensive. Trust me, I’m not offended: All the things I’m trying to run away from in my black American experience are all the things that they’re celebrating. So if they fuckin’ want them, have them; if they want to be considered oversexualized and ignorant every time they open their fucking mouth, then fucking take it. But more than that, the art is not good. These songs are not good. It’s like, “Oh my God, you’re doing this black woman impression, is that what the fuck you think of me, bitch? I need to meet the black woman that you’re imitating because I’ve never met any black woman who acts that bizarre.” It’s crazy that this becomes mainstream culture. All of America is celebrating shit like that. It’s so weird.”-Azealia Banks interview for Pitchfork
THIS QUOTE.
It’s like being in love: giving somebody the power to hurt you and trusting (or hoping) they won’t.

I’m sure I’ve reposted this before, but there is something unbelievably hot about this. I can’t quite put my finger on it. zanythoughts, switchette, maybe even theleeallure or ashcatred? Any ideas??
It’s just her subtle nipple slip. That’s all.
The perfect eye contact, smug smirk and confidence in her makes this hot for me.
It’s the unconsidered forcefulness behind her arm, the secondary nature of the blowjob (and its deliverer, unf), and yes – zanythoughts is right – her confident smirk. Though I have to wonder, with the men smiling so hard nearly out of the frame, if she’s actually in charge or if she just believes herself to be.
Is this the kinky version of a Rorschach, djpynchonsid?
Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything.
