Image by me

In search for inspiration, I've been looking through diffrent tumblr's and clicked my way through most of them. I found some great ones, but what upsets me is the fact that many (almost all) of these tumblrs have so much exploatation of women bodies, even on the one's that you thought might have an political agenda. It is as if people believe that objectifying women even further is okay when the image is in black and white or when it's taken by Terry Richardson, "because it's art" - no it's not, that image could've been taken from the most tacky-ass porn site ever, so just stick too buying expensive socks or whatever you do daily instead of trying to be 'artistic'. A Naked Female Body In Black And White Is Still A Naked Female Body. When the women body is so exploited and exposed she becomes more and more of an object, not owned by the person living in the body but a public property, free to be deconstructed, disaggregated and decontectualized by anyone. Use the internet for good causes, create your own world free from stereotypes and western ideals.

This (in so many ways) amazing video for The Knife's 'A Tooth For An Eye', from thier forth coming album 'Shaking The Habitual', directed by the bestest fellow 2FACED1's Roxy Farhat & Kakan Hermansson!!! The energy and feeling in that room is so beautifully captured, led by this little girl the men dance away thier sense of how they should act and interact with other males, in order to be "men". In a way, they're dancing thier way to freedom. No strings attatched. They are all equal, even though they have a leader, but without questioning her.

"'A Tooth For An Eye' deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership. Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to learn from those we consider inferior? In a sport setting where one would traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they perform the choreography. Amateurs and skilled dancers alike express joy and a sense of freedom; There is no prestige in their performance. The child is powerful, tough and sweet all at once, roaring "I'm telling you stories, trust me". There is no shame in her girliness, rather she possesses knowledge that the men lost a long time ago."

In case you've missed this, even though I doubt you have, this 2FACED1 project. So pretty/beautiful/magical it hurts. The video really does justice to the song, Julia Spada's voice gives me chills down my back.

I've finally decided to not waste my time on people not appreciating me or my values. ✓

I will stop excusing my existence and my values. ✓

Since I don't know what to say right now, listen to the beautiful words by the best Jeremy Scott.
