Liberation, at last

an ode to the nipple bra

-

A rejected New Yorker pitch that I liked too much to trash.

Being earnest on the internet about body image is always a minefield (yes i know some people want to wear the nipple bra! Great! They’re allowed to!) With distance it’s sort of amusing to think of my life-long struggle with body dysmorphia as the constant effort to cosplay a version of self that is more appealing, less threatening, etc. And this bra is like…. literal cosplay! It’s fascinating! And also, i’m so tired.
