This piece may be my most divisive. It could be time for the burlesque scene to take a good, hard, look at itself. I was shocked to find, in one performers opinion, that the scene has changed so much, but I wasn't entirely surprised. I had a feeling it might go this way, I just didn't think it would happen so fast.

Sunset as I hurtle home across England. What a busy weekend, I got to see some of my very favorite people in the whole world, visit one of my favorite places and spend plenty of time with my gorgeous niece. I'm looking forward to getting home to my husband though, family doesn't feel tight without him there too. #travelling #home #england #englishcountryside #bestfriends #family #goinghome #goinghomeforchristmas

#MeToo If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote "Me too." as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem. Please copy and paste. ---------------- I don't like chain posts or copy/paste nonsense. This one I'm making a very rare exception to. It's very important. I don't know a single woman that this hasn't happened to. I know many men and trans people this has happened to as well. For me, I've lost count. The last time was at Lidl, stood next to my husband, when a guy with his wife and kids said very loudly "you're gorgeous, I'd have you..." And much more. He not only verbally abused and disrespected me that day, but he did so to my husband, his wife and his children too. The worst time was when I was almost raped by a 'friend' that took it upon himself to demand I give him what I had given his friend. I had been in a relationship with his friend. I still have nightmares about that and any time the person is mentioned by others it gives me flashbacks. As a model with an online presence, all of my inboxes are full of sexual abuse. It's been 10+ years of relentless sexual abuse. Often violent, often disturbing.

I love the body I live in. It has carried me though exciting times, I've experienced wonderful things, I've decorated it, I look after it as best I can, it's given me amazing opportunities and I'm sure it'll provide more in the future. My body is not perfect. I may not look it, but I am disabled. I live in chronic pain. I have an unpredictable, incurable genetic condition, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I also have fibromyalgia. Over the past 3 days, I have written about having fibromyalgia for @indieplusdesign You can read them here - http://www.indieplusdesign.co.uk (link in bio) Photo by @big_bushy_beard #fibromyalgia #chronicpain #hEDS #spooniewarrior #spoonie #plussizemodel #tattooedmodel #tattoodroses #redhair #tattooedgirls #kurtcobain #lifeisbeautiful #reallife #plussize
