    This Is What A Feminist Looks Like Without Airbrushing A commenter wrote recently that I looked a little airbrushed in my More magazine photo. While I don’t know how little or how much photo-shopping went on behind the scenes, here’s a picture I snapped of myself a few days ago in Harvard Square. For reference, I didn’t shower that morning, hadn’t (and still haven’t) shaved my legs in weeks, wore no make-up, and didn’t brush my hair. Pretty, uh, natural. My outfit was also a far cry from the $1,445 wardrobe More provided me for the shoot: D&G denim jacket (thrifted from Second Time Around) Rebel Yell tank ($25 from Plndr) Jane Norman military shorts (£28 online/found at random boutique this summer in Europe) Tom Tailor studded boots (not very pricey/found in Germany) This is a feminist in the wild. Compare and contrast away!
