To take the bad taste out of my mouth from the last post. The Scar Project might be my new favoritest thing EVAR (link is not safe for work, on account of bare breasts). Goddamn, those pictures are GORGEOUS.

That is some great stuff there. Gorgeous photography, and I love the way the personalities come through -- all the accessories and attitudes. I hope it goes viral so all the pink ribbon people can see what's real.

I think what I find most striking about them is how...*flails about*...not hidden they are, and I'm not (just) talking about the topless aspect. I'm not sure that makes any sense. I could do without the photographer's cheesy description of empowerment, but I can see...I dunno, almost a dare in common on every one of those photos from the women in them even across the broad range of emotions. This is me. I am here. I am real, I am human, and I will not pretend for you. Dare you not to look away.

And it's fucking beautiful.

Exactly! That's what I meant about attitudes: I dare you. It's WONDERFUL.

Oh, wow. WOW. That is AMAZING. I love the sheer RANGE -- of bodies, scars, attitudes. These are not experiences that can be reduced or homogenized to pink-ribbon blandness.
