Photos from her series focusing on the natural process of being on her period were removed from Instagram, even though there was no nudity or pornographic aspect to the pictures.

Call for Submissions! REAL BREASTS Wanted.
With the upcoming launch of ArousedWoman Magazine, I noticed a theme emerging as I was doing my interviews…. Breasts and Body Image. I’m not sure how it happened, but I’m going with it!
