Interests: Dolls, fashion, androgyny, silent & classic film, Pre-Raphaelites, street art, advertising, surrealism, low-brow, male models & actors, actresses, cartoons, vintage images, toys, candy, fairy tales, messing around with gender roles. I try to avoid reblogging posts that have been reblogged several thousand times, unsourced images, touchy-feely text over blurry pictures of the woods/outerspace, over-exposed pictures of teenagers sitting around doing ordinary stuff with their faces obscured or heads cut off, & fashion photos that seem E.D.-triggering to me. I have enough problems, man.
