Anonymous asked: annie! how do you help someone lose weight who wants to lose weight? i want to be supportive of my boyfriend, and sometimes he needs the extra push to get him to work out. but i also don't want to see pushy and like i don't love him the way he is. i love his body! but i also want to help him get to the body he wants to have. how do i do this?

If someone wants to change their body, I don’t typically reinforce it, and I don’t fight it either. If someone wants something, they have to go for it. The only thing I am cautious of with my friends and family is if they are doing anything that might harm themselves, even then I can’t tell someone what to do with their bodies, just make them aware. 

My advice is to be a silent supporter, to not reinforce the goal (in case it’s not possible) and to not fight it either. Make him aware that you will support him no matter what he decides to do, that he is wonderful as is, losing weight would be different, not “better”, he will always be beautiful in your eyes.

Anonymous asked: how can i go about buying a dildo or vibrator without my mom knowing? i'm 15 and she has already seen my personal massager from durex, but now i need a change. i don't have a credit card, but any shipment i would receive, she'd be suspicious. i'm too awkward to confront her about this, but i'm sure she would oblige to me getting one. ugh please give advice ):

I guess you meant oppose, right?  Hmm…

  • Do you have ANY 18+ friends, or friends with fakes that you could give cash to and then they can pay for it?
  • Do you LOOK 15? I’ve only been t adult stores a few times and they’ve never carded me to check if I was 18, why not just give it a try yourself and if they ask for your ID you just say that you must’ve forgot it in the car and then leave, haha!
  • When I was younger, I would improvise dildos… household items… vibrating [neck] massagers… that’s a possibility too, and you don’t need an ID at Bed and Bath, haha!

EDIT: If you live around a Spencer’s, they may not ID either.


Anonymous asked: WHY would you change the password on Elle She was one of my favorites and i've talked to about 20 SHYB followers and we're all upset. Why would you be so cruel. BRING ELLE BACK! BRING ELLE BACK!

The password was changed and all the admins were sent a message with the new password. She somehow missed it, but as of today she’s confirmed she found it.

It’s clear you care for Elle dearly. Understand that I do too. Her and I are friends. And if for one reason or another she were to not be as active or not active at all SHYB, we have our reasons.

I LOVE Hairspray, that’s my jam, and I love the integration/body positive story line :)


Anonymous asked: I really hope you answer this! I know someone who thinks that it's partially a woman's fault for getting raped by going to a party alone and getting drunk. I was outraged when I heard their opinion on this topic. It upset me greatly because I know people who have been raped and the torment they go through. This was sparked by the postsecret today. They are saying a girl should have more sense than to go alone to a party and get drunk. Please tell me your opinion. I'd love it.

Trigger Warning: rape culture

The thing that really irritates me about rape culture is the idea that women should live in constant fear.

Women. You aren’t safe anywhere! You are not safe when you are out and you are not safe in your own home. NEVER be alone. NEVER drink. NEVER wear short skirts. NEVER flirt. It all makes you a target for violence and sex crimes! You live in a world where because you are a woman, you are a target for crime, so just you know… stop living your life. If you don’t follow these rules, you were basically asking for it.

It makes absolutely no sense to me to blame women for crimes against women.

It was not their fault.

But she was flirting with him/leading him on! That doesn’t mean that a sex crime is justified, that does not mean it was her fault.

But she has sex with so many people! That doesn’t mean that a sex crime is justified, that does not mean it was her fault.

But she was walking by herself in a short skirt! That doesn’t mean that a sex crime is justified, that does not mean it was her fault.

But she no one forced her to get so drunk! That doesn’t mean that a sex crime is justified, that does not mean it was her fault.

Victim blamers just shut your mouth. Could people be more cautious? Always, we could always be more cautious, we could be cautious to the point where we just stop living and constantly live in fear (I hope you are understanding the irony of me pointing out the ridiculousness of what you are asking of people).

Once a crime is committed, it is not the time for shoulda coulda wouldas. It is not the time to point fingers at the victim for their behavior, you do not condemn victims of a horrific crime, it is NOT the victim’s fault.

I like what you are saying but I’m afraid I do not understand why you are saying it.

Anonymous asked: Annie, help me. I'm sick of the world. I'm sick of everyone judging people who look differently, I'm sick of believing that I have to hide parts of my body constantly just because they are fat, I'm sick of men feeling as if they are superior to women, or telling them they should "be in the kitchen." I'm sick of racist jokes I see in school everyday, I'm sick of completely fake people that I have to endure everyday. I'm sick of the world.

I feel that way sometimes too, it can be really depressing…

But I want you to take a deep breath and keep your chin up. There’s a lot of shit in this world, now you know it, now you are prepared for it. Now you have to be ready to go out there and try to change it. It’s hard! I KNOW!! Often times you will feel so alone in your fight for justice, but you can’t give up. You have to have hope that things will get better or it’ll all just crush you.

Remember that whenever you want, you can go to a park and just be alone and nothing will matter. Everything is so important and so insignificant at the same time. That’s a thought that occurs to me whenever I think about how HUGE the universe is and how short life is. We’re here for a while, then we’re gone. So with our time, I think it’s important to laugh as much as possible, work towards positive change, and find the things that make ourselves and others happy.

Keep smiling, babe, don’t let it all get to you <3


Anonymous asked: Are you a sexual person? Sorry to be extremely personal but I'm not really and I don't know id that's weird or not, I don't like sex, and that's caused issues with an ex before and I don't know how to go about it :/ x

Um… it really depends on my mood, but for the most part I’m not a very sexual person at all. My drive for sex and/or romance rarely comes about.

In photo shoots and other roles where I have to act… I can act sexual, but that’s not something I’m completely comfortable with yet in “real life”.

I’m comfortable with it though, I do what I want, when I want, and if someone I’m interested in doesn’t have the patience to deal with it and it affects the relationship, then I guess we weren’t meant to be.

It’s your body, your sexuality, your life, so it’s up to you what to do with it. Never feel pressured to do something you don’t want to.

Anonymous asked: I don't know who to talk to- so I'm talking to you. I was raped a few years ago.. how do I respond to friends who make jokes like "I raped that test" or something like that?

You tell them that you find it incredibly offensive and to cut it out, (whether or not you want to open up to them is up to you) if they don’t, get the hell away from those people, find some new friends. I say this because I’ve been there.
