A tough Wyoming cowboy who just happens to like blouses
Sissy Goodwin isn’t gay; he’s been married for 45 years and has two adult children. As a young man, he was a rodeo cowboy who rode bulls bareback, a free spirit who never shied away from a fistfight. The former aircraft mechanic loves to drink beer, play golf, throw steaks on the grill.
What sets him apart, he says, is what he calls gender independence: He just likes to do most things in a dress.
A resilient guy living it out in Wyoming, a state he refers to as “the Mississippi of the West” for its disposition toward him, Goodwin has been beaten, arrested and glared at for years - but he continues his defiant dressing habits to this day.

There we are.
If you’re on Facebook, you’re in there. At the Faces of Facebook page, every Facebook profile picture and it’s accompanying name have been assembled into a single, massive mosaic. All 1,278,842,363 of them.
Head on over to tour around the interactive version. There’s an option to connect your Facebook account if you’d like to find yourself.
I wonder how long you’d have to randomly zoom down before you found someone you recognize? Get back to me on that one.
Incidentally, you’d think each pixel in that image represents one person, right? Unfortunately, it’s only 1400 x 900 resolution, so that means that there’s 9,868 of us crammed onto each digital island.
If you’re into visualizations like this, then you’ll want to check out this pixel mosaic of the first 4,000,000 digits of pi.
Miss Candlewick.
Oh man she’s so pretty! She’s got this sort of spooky air to her while still seeming really serene and refined. And her little candle thingies are really cool.
That dress seems like it’d be a total pain to walk around in though.

how many muggle born kids showed up at hogwarts like, “i get you’re into magic and don’t get me wrong, magic is awesome, but please don’t try and tell me quills and inkwells make more sense than pencils. i realize you have an aesthetic going, but admit it’s that. admit it’s just for looks.”

My mom and I went for a walk in town today as I was having a good day. I got tired and was sitting on a comfy chair in NEW LOOK while my mom was looking for shoes. This little girl kept staring at me and whispering to her mom and I was feeling all ¬ . ¬; hmmm
After a while, as her mom was looking at shoes this little girl came over to me and asked me why I wasn’t at the dream house… > . < naturally I was all ‘Sorry…’ and she proceeded to ask me where barbie was and Teresa… and said she liked all the weird faces I always made… … then it dawned on me this little girl thought I was Nikki from Barbie Life in the dream house… which I knew because I always use her gifs as emotions on tumblr. So I made a few faces for her.
Then she asked what I was doing… so I whispered ‘I am not meant to be here, but I am getting new shoes for Barbie because her wardrobe is so big she won’t be able to find her brightest pink ones in time to see Ken tomorrow… we walked for days… then I decided to buy a new pair and give to her… but it’s a secret!’
She was so happy, she turned around and said ‘Mom, it is Nikki!’ and ran away… and her mom smiled at me and they left.
And I was all, T - T … now this little girl thinks barbie gets her shoes from New Look.
That is literally the cutest.
