Remember Me | Nilin and Neo-Paris
I WANT THIS GAME IN MY LIFE.
This Stardust styled shoot is nothing short of magical! The details capture the enchantment of the book perfectly but my favorite part by far is the wonderful camera trick that turned the bride into a luminous star herself!

there is a point where you stop trying to educate people and start making the consequences of their racist bullshit real fuckin clear.

"Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat."
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.
It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”
I mean, it’s just true.

Dragas (2009) - Kuwaiti Artist Fatima Al Qadiri
Dragas is a series of fantasy, Kuwaiti drag queen portraits—each within a subsection of local and global style trends: goth, floral, hip hop and “haute”, respectively. A study into localized trend manifestations through the filter of the internet, studio portraiture as a private act—but fantasy destination/background —and gender as performance. - FQ
I think Black people are not afforded the luxury of existing without being pigeonholed into an aggressive state of being. Many times Black people are displayed as hyper-aggressive and because of this display we create a mentality that were stuck with hyper-aggressiveness.
That isn’t to say that being strong, tough, or aggressive are bad things, they come with our survival. But the vulnerability pain, and gentleness that Black people reveal are not present many times in the media or even in our homes. The luxury of intimacy with other people is so small in comparison to the thousands of images of us being strong and “animalistic” (by intimacy I mean without guards, barriers, being invested with other people without a facade to what you are or layers you create.)
Similar to the phrase ”carefree black girls and boys”, I wanted to give a safe space to vulnerablity of Blackness to be on display
