“She’s just so kind and yummy and delicious. She’s just absolutely lovely and heartbreaking. She’s nothing short of astonishing”- Felicity Huffman (Phoebe in Wonderland co-star)
We all have the right to disagree and fight for our beliefs. But by definition, a hearing is an inquiry into many sides of an issue with testimony from various points of views. But mark this: The Republicans did not have a single woman to testify in support of the contraception mandate. That is not a hearing; that is a sham.
The truth is women use contraception not only as a way to prevent unintended pregnancies, but also to improve their health and the health of their families. Increased access to contraception is directly linked to declines in maternal and infant mortality. It can also protect women against debilitating symptoms of endometriosis and reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.
Anyone seeking office would be wise to take heed that women are watching and we will not tolerate political rhetoric that threatens our health, safety and well-being.
Beauty could never have been my currency. I look OK. I look better in person than I do on film, which is bad because it’s how I make my living, but I am not a beauty and on balance I am glad. Beauty can make you powerful in a way that isn’t good for you. Being OK is better for the person I have become. [x]
“I know as actors our job is usually to shed our skins, but I think as people our job is to become who we really are and so I would like to salute the men and women who brave ostracism, alienation and a life lived on the margins to become who they really are.” — Felicity Huffman
We all love her smile!
“I love the way she looks,” he begins. “She’s always been sort of a dreamgirl for me from the first time I ever saw her. I love her bone structure. I love everything about her. And she’s got an astounding body. I think even though she’s spiritual and a relatively deep thinker, she has a lot of empathy for what is going on in the world – but despite that, I think a laugh is about the closest thing to the surface for her. She has a beautiful laugh, and it’s never far away. She’s self-deprecating, laughs at herself a lot, she absolutely adores me, and only wants good for me. And I’ve been in relationships where that wasn’t the case. She only wants me to succeed and to be happy.”———William H. Macy
