83. Do you remember the first time you were conscious of what you were wearing? Can you describe this moment and what it was about?
Costume. High school. See #4
I was perhaps 8 or 9 years old. My schoolmate notified, not nicely, that I am always wearing the same clothes. Maybe I was, but I remember how I was surprised of her notion.
no - well yes, but i dont feel comfortable saying
I remember one of the first times I dressed myself I wore one of my favorite blue butterfly skorts (obviously) and a striped shirt. My mom made me change because she said the colors clashed. I remember standing on top of the stairs and wondering why what I had chosen was so bad. I remember thinking "oh, adults care about stupid stuff." But I changed anyway.
I've always been really conscious about me and my sourroundings.
I was probably 12 and it had to do with being judged at school
Yes, I was three years old and my mother put me in a bikini. I walked around with my hand over my belly button because I felt vulnerable to sexual attention if anyone should see it.
From an early age I was aware of the possibility of sexual harassment and did whatever I could to avoid drawing attention to myself in that way. I hated being called pretty when I was little, I found that very threatening.
I remember my cousin would come over and paint my nails. I was maybe 3? I would get a fushia base coat, covered by a layer of multi-colored glitter polish.
