Linda Strawberry

why is everyone so obsessed!!!!!!!
im 5 7 and i weigh 140.. in WHAT distorted way of thinking is that fat?
should i starve myself? puke? for a retarded standard held in a society that is unhealthfully overweight and whose models are getting thinner and thinner and thinner and thinner til soon they'll have to have organs failing in order make the grade?
GAAAAAH.
i go from 137 to 147 depending on the time of the month. WHO CARES
im healthy. i eat. i exercise. i dont crash diet, over exercise and i try to keep a healthy outlook.
that's fucking amazing considering the lows ive had in the past with eating disorders..
im really proud to say im four years recovered.
but..
it still hurts to hear when someone says im fat or ugly or whatever. im human! words hurt!
people who say that you the internet isnt real and we should all laugh it off or say something back are as bad as the abusers themselves.
i just had to vent!
its been a big subject this week in our house.  it really disturbs me. why are people so hateful?
i want to do all i can do to try to put the OPPOSITE message out..
certain people just make me soo mad!
everyone worries about what they look like.. everyone is way too hard on themselves.

I have been so busy. bzz bzz.

im going to be relaunching lindastrawberry.com very soon in the next few weeks and i plan on making this the summer of art with my personal and factory girls art. we are premiering our factory girls project the day glenn kaino opens his exhibit at the Warhol Museum on May 3rd.
We are a part of a new polaroid exhibit. I’m so excited. I’m honored to be included in the new factory personalities exhibit. :) we shot it today and glenn used Andy’s own polaroid camera.
I am so lucky right now to be surrounded with talented motivated people.
The air is electric around me. I can’t even sleep. I have such bad insomnia from excitement that im breaking out in a rash like the one i got in belgium when i was on tour. eek. must sleep!

tour is going to be very special. Audrey and I have made a special tshirt for it that we will have up very soon. We are only doing one print of it but when its done i will tell you wear you can order it. :)

oh.. i had a blast doing natalia fabia’s hooker pageant. haha. it was so funny.. the girl who won was ’miss one dolla no holla’ she fried an egg while smoking and doing burlesque for her talent. hahahaha.
here are some pictures. (by julie klima)
