“Your body can be very female, which is something you can do nothing about, but then you can have the soul, the mind and the spirit of both male and female. The women friends I am closest to somehow have this masculine side to them, they shove their hands in their pockets when they walk: I love that side.” MindSoulBodyHandsSpiritSidesCan DoWalksFemaleMalesYour BodyPocketsClosestMasculine Author:Sonia Rykiel
