They feel our generosity as oppression.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27975]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave.
