everything is too pretty!! i need homely supremacy. normalize being a little ugly. i don’t think the emphasis needs to be that everyone is beautiful in their own way!! i mean of course they are, but that’s not the point. the point is that ur appearance shouldn’t have any relevance on ur worth. not everything needs to be pleasing to the eye to be worthwhile. i’m sick of women giving into the little man in their brains telling them they need to arch their back the right way when they’re home alone doing laundry. no more aesthetics!!!!! let me do what comes naturally to me and be pudgy and sticky and unladylike and don’t talk to me. i’m going to start biting picnic tables at parks so everyone knows i was ugly and i was there.

From https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a27434009/bennington-college-oral-history-bret-easton-ellis/, “The Secret History isn’t so much a work of fiction. It’s a work of thinly veiled reality—a roman à clef. When it came out, Claude and Matt and I got endless calls. Everybody was saying, “Oh, did you know Donna just wrote a book about Claude and you all? And Claude is Julian and Matt is Bunny and you’re Henry.”

“Henry”:
