Being real Quote by Harriet Morgan
“Society: Every girl is beautiful. Fat girls: Really? Skinny girls: Really? Curvy girls: Really? Scene girls: Really? Preppy girls: Really? White girls: Really? Black girls: Really? Society: Wait let me be more specific Society: You need to have tits the size of Canada, a bum that will put Nicki Minaj to shame, perfect porcelain skin with nary a single blemish, straight white teeth that will blind somebody that looks at them without sunglasses, hair that is thick and flows like a waterfall made of rainbows and unicorn tears, eyelashes that will touch your forehead and look natural doing it, soft hairless skin, and a smolder that will fry a chicken in a basket. You also have to be a size 00 because guys love it when they can see your ribcage. Girls: Society: Girls: Society: Girls: Society: Why is everybody getting depressed all of a sudden?”
