| one mess begets another |
|
When fighting culture with culture you realize there's a thin line between the elegance of poignant
regurgitation and vomit. But fear brings on wrinkles, and you're not just another mess in a dress or tomboy with no toy. You are an amazon
warrior who wears the foundation of the
future on your face. Realness or not, your outfit can never betray you - every flawless touch or telltale sign is a
shattering blow against preconceptions of gender.
With a beauty
pageant wave I'm calling you to join me at the front lines of the revolution. Else with every motion of my
razor sharp press-on nails I vow to strike
terror in those who continue suckling at the dry male teats of dominant culture.
Love, Miss Take
