"It actually became kind of a funny thing where it was A) Really funny to us, but also a little bit punk rock. You know what I mean?" She said. "I think women, a lot of us have grown up feeling certain degrees of shame around our body or whatever. So this is just a little bit of, you know, subversive candle for all of us out there."
