“I’m just over all these men! They want so much from you. Be beautiful but not too beautiful; thin but not too thin; feminine but not too feminine. On dates, it’s the same thing—talk, but not too much. Ask them questions about themselves, but not too many questions. I’m exhausted.”
― Crystal Maldonado, Fat Chance, Charlie Vega

― Alexandra Overy, These Feathered Flames
