yes! here’s an article about subaru marketing directly to lesbians

This search for niche groups led Subaru to the 3rd rail of marketing: They discovered that lesbians loved their cars. Lesbians liked their dependability and size, and even the name “Subaru.” They were four times more likely than the average consumer to buy a Subaru. […] Subaru decided to launch an ad campaign focused on lesbian customers. It was such an unusual decision—and such a success—that it pushed gay and lesbian advertising from the fringes to the mainstream.

“Look for lumps,” they said, “watch out for unusual lumps and discharge.”

They did NOT say, “By the way, some areolas have little bumps on them. And some get pimple-ish things around the edges. Or on the nipples. These are not the lumps we are talking about, and that is not the discharge we are talking about.”

That distinction cleared so much up for me, like, breast tissue is all lumps and bumps normally (which is what mamories feel like to me). What the hell do they mean by lumps????

1. It’s an excellent example of transitional evolution.

2. It’s a mess who would intentionally do this and why

3. It makes them piss themselves a little.

“Evolution is just a theory-”

All’s Well That Ends Well to End Up with You by cobblestaubrey and hallelujah99 (G) 3/3 “A deal is a deal, right?” Shelby’s voice was bubbly as ever, her accent not at all lost from her years in California. “If I remember correctly, we did shake on it.” Toni and Shelby reunite to go through with a pact they made a decade prior.

If There’s a God in Heaven (You Can Show Me) by breezered (M) 8/8 No matter how pretty Shelby is, no part of her wants her in that way. Because she’s a bigot. And annoying. And the total antithesis of everything Toni believes in. College AU.

I Think She Knows by dwoht (NR) 2/2 “Alright, hop up on the sink, Short-Stack,” Shelby directs, and the immediate look of absolute contempt is equally rewarding as it is amusing. “What on God’s green Earth did you just call me?” Toni practically bites at her. Shelby just rolls her eyes. “Sit.” Or, Shelby cleaning Toni up after a fight.

Dancing in Your Levi’s (Drunk Under a Streetlight) by hosie_ship (M) 18/18 Toni and Shelby have a somewhat complicated relationship. In their freshman year, they had been quite close since Martha was quick to make friends with the girl from out of state. They soon only spoke on occasion and when Martha was around, as Shelby withdrew herself from their lunch table and began having lunch with her new boyfriend: Andrew along with his friends. What made the bond completely snap in half was when Toni got her first girlfriend, Regan at the start of sophomore year. After Toni & Regan broke up, Toni became angrier than ever and didn’t care if she hurt the feelings of the ‘friendly neighbourhood’ Christian girl. So when they’re forced to work together for a school project, they are forced to put aside their differences, causing a fresh new dynamic between the two to occur, changing their life’s for good.

Falling Feels Like Flying by dwoht (NR) 13/13 And then Toni has an idea. It’s a terrible idea. It’s a horrible, no-good, potentially life-ruining, mess of a plan. It’s not even a plan, it’s just an impulsive thought. So, of course, she says it immediately. “I could be your girlfriend,” she says. Shelby stares at her, like she’s so shocked she forgets that she’s freaking out. Or, Shelby runs a YouTube channel, which Toni has been hate watching for years. On mere coincidence, they’re assigned to be college roommates, and of course, end up fake-dating.

She’s a Knockout by Moon_Cube (M) 2/5 Boxer AU. Toni’s an undefeated amateur boxer. Shelby’s the new ring girl. Except, she’s not new. Shelby’s been secretly crushing on Toni for months. So, she pays Fatin to switch schedules with her so she can work Toni’s next card. Toni finally notices her. But, it doesn’t go quite like Shelby had hoped. Until it does.

Get to Know You in Your World by JenIsWriting (G) Toni does not remember the last time she has been this nervous about anything. Which is ridiculous considering she has been on stage in a bikini, played Born This Way on fucking water glasses and saved the lives of numerous people on national television, including the life of the person who happens to be the cause of her restlessness.akaAfter the events of the pageant finale, Toni and Shelby finally manage to go out on a date together. This is a one shot connected to Miss Congeniality; however, you don’t need to read that to understand what’s going on here. It’s really just a lot of Shoni fluff and I’m gonna give a quick breakdown of the story in the notes.

Roots in My Dreamland by SomethingGood (T) Toni owns a plant shop in Minnesota. Shelby can’t keep a plant alive, but something (or someone) keeps drawing her back to the store, week after week.

Miss Congeniality by JenIsWriting (G) 10/10 FBI Agent Toni Shalifoe has to go undercover in the Miss United States beauty pageant to prevent the Dawn of Eve terrorist group from bombing the event.
