He says he likes me as he passes me by wanting a piece of my ass
He doesn’t know me
He doesn’t own me
He says hey beauty don’t be scared, I’m not the beast come home with me you’ll be in for a real treat
He is not giving me a compliment,
He is unwilling to see my filling
Pretending that I am empty
But hey you, hey man, my fire is burning
As my wheels start turning
I am the biggest bitch with the brightest light
Objectifying is insulting my intelligence
And I am defying his adamant advances with my answer
So what are my chances says he
I say we can have a cup of tea so you can actually get to know the real me
He answers but all I need I can already see
What cunning stunning eyesight you must have to see that I am completely crazy and insanely intelligent
Seriously, you couldn’t handle the real me, you’d take a pass
I don’t care cuz you’ve got a real nice ass
You’re hot
Let’s get it on
Why not?
Cuz it’s my body I do with it what I choose
You lose when you refuse to try to see what’s underneath
I have loads of integrity
It's just the way I interact with my body
And No, no, no unconsentually pinching my ass is not okay
Just because we are gay
And by the way I’m not gay as in happy
But queer as in fuck you
I am not a walking talking product placement
And my creativity is not meant for high payments
And my clothes are not fashion statements
I see it as political action
Their staring faces
Mean I’m queering up spaces
Fashion is for fascist people
And D.I.Y. is what gets me high
Cutting holes in what’s colonially coined as Alibaba trousers
Turning them inte Björkgaga blouses
Let’s leave the lookist houses
The fake model houses
Infest them with beautiful rats and mouses
And begin brick building beautiful things that feel real
What is akin to making us beautiful resides under our skin
If you don’t care about what’s underneath my shell
All I’ll give you is hell

18 years old
I remember actually counting how many people had told me I was pretty
I came up to 12
I had never been seen as pretty except for by my mother
And now 12 others
And to earn this prize I was wise enough to do everything they told me:
Cut your hair! Put on some make-up, but not too much! Wear nice clothes, sexy, but not so that you look like a hoe…

They wanted me to look so pretty
And act so polite
Not ready to fight
Not ready to take flight

I let countless people fuck me
I wanted proof that I was pretty
Pretty equaled good enough
It was my own version of fucking my way to the top
But actually all I was getting was pretty fucked up

If I thought a guy was hot
He would get all my attention, A LOT
I was hooked on looks
And oh what the school of lookism taught me!
White is the prettiest skin color
Able-bodied is the only sexy body
We all yearn for the flesh of the young
And boy oh boy are you skinny!
Skinny = good and fat = bad
And the ladies at the counter say
This perfume will blow him away
Do you want to be cunning at the love game?
Do you want to have the fame?
They say it’s human nature for us all to want the same.
They say this very color will take you to the top of the highest tower
This little tube gives you infinite power
A nice pair of ray-bans will hide
What’s going on inside

Capitalism means consume
Consume Consume Consume products
And people are just products for us to use
Buy till you die!
Anticapitalism means to refuse
Must we be consumerist even about our relationships?
Well, the ladies at the counter yell
You’ve got an image to sell
I remember the words that fell from Courtney Loves lips ”there is no power like the pretty power”
This truth of the dubious power of the powerless
And you wonder why the world is a shallow mess
As you divide it into pretty and ugly
And invest your time and interest accordingly
Even in queer culture
We tend to behave like vultures
Consuming the what’s hot
Ignoring the what’s not
And where do I fit in this great divide
Am I a hit or miss
Where would my face place in miss world?
What is considered ugly or pretty is all just norms
Norms that we must all deconstruct in all forms
Pimples are ugly and dimples are cute, really big eyes, but not the big nose
Go ahead now baby strike a pose!
Come on now baby don’t hide
I’m not hiding, I’m just flaunting the pride I feel about who I am inside
As I decide to FUCK LOOKISM

I am a cat in a dogs world
Hey, they say dogs are a mans best friend, but I am catwoman hear me roar, soar, be a self-sufficient whore
Hey, they say dogs are a mans best friend, but I must contend that man does not equal human
Yes, hey they say dogs are a mans best friend, but I will not come when a man calls for me
I am a cat in a dogs world and kitty's got claws scratching at the worlds flaws.
