"I was driving back from my parents house and I was driving too fast," Kit explained. "I was being a bit naughty. I was going over the speed limit. And I feel the sirens go off behind me. And this Policeman comes up and pulls me over. And I, a bit sheepishly said, ‘I’m really sorry, I wasn’t looking at the clock.'"

Because peach is not nude for ~everyone~.
Bracey has been designing clothes since she was six-years-old when she would cut up her socks to make outfits for her Barbie dolls. "One day, my mom caught me — she was mad," Bracey told BuzzFeed. "But then she realized that this was something I could use, so when I was seven-years-old, she taught me how to use a sewing machine."
After that, Bracey was hooked. She made clothes for herself and her friends throughout high school and college. And while attending Texas Woman's University in Denton for fashion design, she started making swimsuits for a friend's line of beauty-pageant-specific swimwear.
Bracey, who was still making swimwear, got the idea after her friend and founder of Brown Girls Do Ballet, TaKiyah Wallace, tipped her off that there were no nudes for people of color in the dance industry.

Bracey, who currently makes all of the leotards by hand, will start using a factory for mass production as demand for her dancewear has grown.

The line currently features four nudes. By the end of next year, Bracey plans to introduce two more colors (one she describes as "more of a cinnamon" and the other will be a lighter option). Another step in the works: Nude bra tops and boy shorts for girls and briefs for boys. "These will be great for gymnasts," she said.
FYI, this is not a post where I’m going to tell you to keep a ~handful of almonds~ on you at all times.

Six Latino artists tell BuzzFeed Español what inspires them, and what goes into the process of creating plus-sized art.
But that doesn't mean that curvy girls have ceased to exist, or that they're any less beautiful now than they were in the 16th century. There are dozens of illustrators around the world who create, promote and distribute art dedicated to figures of all shapes and sizes.
In honor to their work, we introduce them to you...

Munrou is 26 years old and she's a freelance artist and illustrator. She began drawing plus-sized girls 3 years ago. "My motivation was the lack of representation. I didn't want to continue the stigma that has been around for so long about what an ideal body should look like. I wanted to contribute my grain of salt to put forward a message of love and acceptance towards our bodies."

Munrou got started on Tumblr, were she received hundreds of messages of support and appreciation. "Many girls wrote to me saying that they felt happy to see their bodies reflected in my pieces, and that gave them a boost of confidence", she said.

"I have encountered criticism from people who believe I glorify obesity and I've had to explain why my work does not promote a bad lifestyle, but rather I bring a message of love and acceptance towards our bodies, and that regardless of your size, you have to carry your body with pride," adds Munrou.

Or just have your own head scratched, tbh. Jeddah is all of us.

"Staying active and fit is actually something I take seriously. I walk, bike, spin, row, etc. I've been skinny my whole life (I think it's because of a fast metabolism), so when people look at me and assume that I must not work out it can be a little annoying/frustrating. While lifting weights isn't a priority, staying fit is something that's important to me. I don't think that muscles define how active or in shape you are and sometimes it's frustrating that that's the norm."

"I went to a small college in upstate NY and this happened a lot. Classmates, friends of friends or people at the bar would ask me, 'Where are you from?' I'd say 'Brooklyn,' and unsatisfied with my answer, they'd ask where I grew up. I'd say 'Brooklyn' and still unsatisfied, they'd ask, "Where are your parents from?" I'd say they were born in China and finally satisfied that I was tied to an immigrant and checked off a box in their head, they didn't ask any more questions.
This was extremely frustrating. It's silly that someone would think they know your entire life story just by looking at you. Sometimes I would mess around with people. I'd say my parents were born here and they would look disappointed. Oh well, not sorry to have you check yourself."

"I can't tell you how many people think women who wear a lot of makeup are high maintenance, or even trashy. It's easy just to assume, but lots of us who wear makeup have other reasons like self-care, self-expression, or in my case, to cover up scars! Also whenever guys say 'I prefer women who wear less makeup' I'm just like, 'first of all, did I ask you? And second of all, I'm not wearing this for you, I'm wearing this for me!'"

"Walking around with a ~curvaceous~ bod can feel like a struggle because men (and it is always men) think my body is something they have a right to comment about. They do not. The worst is when a man decides to be very specific — like the day I took this picture when some guy said 'I’d eat that booty.'
If that isn’t enough, they become angry if I ignore them, or look angry! The absurdity of it puts me in a rage, I swear. Recently, some guy I politely ignored had the gall to say that *I* should wear something different if I didn’t want to be talked to. No, homie, just no. I’m 10,000% over it. My body is mine."

Here's the recipe:
One-Pot Teriyaki Chicken and Rice, by Tasty
Servings: 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 chicken breasts, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger
2 cups + 1/4 cup water
1 cup white rice, rinsed
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
2-3 tablespoons Sriracha
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup broccoli
1 cup carrots
1/2 red bell pepper
Scallions for garnish (optional)
PREPARATION:
Heat olive oil in a large pot on medium heat, then add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 8 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant, then add 2 cups of water and the rice, and stir. Cover the pot and bring water to a boil.
Uncover, stir, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Then add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and Sriracha. Stir to combine.
Combine 1/4 cup of water with the cornstarch to create a cornstarch slurry. Add the cornstarch slurry to the pot and stir, cooking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Garnish with scallions (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
The sauce — loaded with fresh tomatoes and garlic — will become your new favorite thing. Get the recipe.
If the shoe fits, you probably can’t afford it.
It’s a vagina, not a cocktail.
