When I Was A Kid Ellen Degeneres

I Support Love Any Healthy Way You Can Get It.

I Thought To Be Feminine Was To Give In To Straight Culture, Or The Beauty Standard, But In My Heart I Had A Flair For Fashion And Style. They Were Passions I Kept Secret Because I Didn't Understand I Could Love Clothes And Hair And Makeup And Still Like Girls.

When You See A Fantastic Colour Or Cut In A Magazine, Perched Up On Some Famous So-and-so's Head, It's Tempting To Ask Your Stylist For The Same, But Do Not Be Fooled. The Hair In Those Fancy Photos Can Be Very High Maintenance.

There Is No Shame Like Poor Shame. It Can Make You Warm And Charming, Bitter And Resentful, All At Once.

In Moments When I Question If I Should Be Having Kids, I Think Of All Those Phone Calls From My Sister-in-law, In Which, 3,000 Miles Away, I Hear My Nephews Screaming For Her Attention. I Tell Her I Have To Go Because I Am Packing To Leave For Europe, And Her Tone Flatlines: "that Must Be Nice."
