Ingrid Nogueira is a stunning, 26 year old singer, composer and model from Foz do Jutaí, a small town in the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
Ingrid has been a wheelchair user for all her life because of Congenital Muscular Dystrophy(CMD). In Ingrid’s case, the condition left the muscles around her pelvis without any strength or function. As a result of this, she has never been able to walk, stand, or sit upright independently. She also has a serious deformity in her spine because her pelvis could never support the weight of her upper body.
Every once in a while, Ingrid’s condition surely comes with some challenges, but Ingrid has an exceptionally positive attitude so she isn’t really bothered by these issues. She does admit though that she has been very lucky that her condition isn’t in it’s progressive state anymore and that her upper her body isn’t affected at all. This allows her to live completely independent of others. She is also very happy that she can use a manual wheelchair, which is something she really likes because it accentuates her independency and makes it a lot easier for her to travel as it is much smaller and lighter than an electric wheelchair.
Ingrid has always been a very outgoing person and a good student who has lots of hobbies. She’s very passionate about music, is a gifted guitar player and a beautiful singer. Besides that, she loves fashion, photography and regularly works as a model. In her spare time, she loves spending time with friends and family, visit concerts and going to the beach.

#DrawingPride Day 15: #Pansexual
1992 - I was 17, and drew this portrait of Leonard Bernstein from a photo I saw for the cover of my high school’s literary magazine.
His wild, passionate, perfectly reckless music that channeled so much of the anxious, fast-changing spirit of America was QUEER. He was queer. Everyone knew it. But no one really knew how to talk about it, so it became a footnote. It’s an aspect of his legacy that’s framed separately from his art and his contributions to society. Even though it was probably his sexuality that drove him, that released his creativity, that made him who he was.
Which is why I am really disappointed by the @skirball_la’s single mention of his sexuality in their current retrospective on his life and work (which is otherwise excellent.) SWIPE RIGHT to see the signage. It presents his sexuality to us like a problematic skin condition.
In reality: Leonard and his wife Felicia established an open marriage that suited them, and except for a short separation near the end, they stayed together for 25 years and raised three kids. They were married until she died. It was rocky, and it sounds like L really did go for the boys, but he and Felicia loved each other (letters express it quite clearly), and unless you apply a really starchy definition of heterosexual death-do-us-part marriage, I think that their relationship can be called a relative success.
Yet, this sign only makes mention of: His “complicated” double life – Hiding his passions from public view – Felicia resigning to accommodate his sexuality – The separation and tragic end to the marriage – and no mention of his male companions. Some were famous in their own right, but in this summation of his love life they might as well have been faceless distractions.
WTF?
He didn’t come from a time when people identified as Pansexual, or rarely even bisexual. Maybe he was? However we might choose to assess his sexuality, it was clearly a huge part of his being. And it doesn’t make sense to downplay its importance as we try to understand his art and his genius.

This daughter of a teenage mother was already writing and singing songs by the time she was in her mid-teens, and she recorded her first album at only 19. Clearly, she didn’t want to waste any time, and she had even less time for critics like Karl Lagerfield, who thought calling her fat was the snappiest insult he could come up with. Her rich, creamy contralto quickly made her a British favorite, and they couldn’t keep her a secret for long; Adele swiftly crossed the pond and became a truly unique soul icon. Her beginnings may be humble, but her music certainly isn’t.
Tell your friend she’s got a little Adele in her. Reblog now to give her a little push.
