I was sitting on a bench when a girl around 5 yrs old, in a fancy party dress, looked me in the eye & said “Why do you look like a monster?”

And I was like….

note: kimya does not look like a monster. 

and fuck any parent who teaches a child to think like that.

I woke up and had the realization that she was probably talking about Monster High, where most of the girl monsters have multi-colored hair and the fangs look similar to my lip piercings. 

I TOTALLY look like I could be the werewolf sisters’ weird aunt. 

Maybe what this kid was telling me was that I was totally badass and I could’ve introduced her to the idea of cosplay. 

Although she was a kid and being a kid is pretty much cosplay. 

She was wearing a party dress at the gym. Maybe she was playing pretend and thought I was too. 

I’m glad I wasn’t offended or defensive and that I responded with a smile and a shrug and just said “I like being fuzzy and colorful.” 

Kids are usually not being mean. 

They usually make so much more sense than adults, because they are so literal, but sometimes it takes the self-conscious adult brain a little longer to see what they are saying. 

Dear Fancy Nancy, 

I’m sorry that I am old and slow and didn’t realize that maybe you thought we were the only two people playing dress-up in the joint. A nice high five of solidarity probably would have been a better response. 

Next time I won’t let you down with some boring reply.

I’ll howl or something.

Sincerely, 

Auntie Werewolf

We also live in a post Monsters Inc age where being a monster isn’t a BAD thing. It could just mean you look awesome to hang out with, or cuddly. It doesn’t just mean scary and mean. If you were scary and mean, the kid probably wouldn’t have spoken to you, just…cried, or ran, or something. 

Good point! I didn’t even think about that. Haha!

Every Spring, a vast migratory band of goths congregates in Leipzig, Germany.  The goths’ presence dominates the cityscape for nearly a week before the creatures disperse, and local stocks of fishnets and clove cigarettes become dangerously low, while many disgruntled property owners report having to forcibly shoo bewildered goths out of adjacent alleys.

By and large, however, the goths have become a kind of mascot for the city, and many residents view the arrival of the goths as a herald that Spring has truly arrived.  After only a few days, the goths will go their separate ways—some tagged specimens have been tracked as far away as Japan, Canada, and Russia—and life in Leipzig will return to normal.  The most common reason wild animals congregate—to seek mates—does not apply to goths, who reproduce asexually.  Why do they gather?  What is the purpose of this strange migration?  We just don’t know.

YSL then and now

What most people outside of the couture world don’t know is that Monsieur Laurent was a revolutionary on another front: he tore down the barriers which excluded Black women from the world of high fashion.
After hearing of his death supermodel Naomi Campbell told New York’s Channel 4 News that, “My first Vogue cover ever was because of this man, because when I said to him ‘Yves, they won’t give me a French Vogue cover, they won’t put a black girl on the cover’ and he was like ‘I’ll take care of that,’ and he did.”
The New York Times online was flooded with responses, and comments from around the world, regarding Laurent’s death. Deborah Ward of Chicago, Illinois, summed up his impact on Black women in fashion, “I became of a fan of Monsieur Laurent when I was a young girl. I awed at his fashions on Black Models on the pages of Ebony Magazine. Very few designers showcased their fashions on Black Models. He was the first. ” Laurent was also regularly featured in the Ebony Traveling Fashion Show, based not only on his clothing, but due to his friendship with the matriarch of Black publishing, Eunice Johnson, who is also the producer of the annual 50 year old show.
Monsieur Laurent was also the first couture house in Paris to feature Black models on his runway, which opened the doors for such models as Iman, Pat Cleveland, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Veronica Webb, Alek Wek, Liya Kebede, and, his muse, Katoucha, who preceded him in death, with a mysterious fall into the Seine on February 29, 2008. According to Target Market News.com, African American women spent more than $20 billion dollars on apparel, yet fashion houses continue to ignore them on the runways, and as important customers. Yves Saint Laurent not only used Black models on the Paris runways, but he used them in print ads, and also considered Black women when designing his top end cosmetics. His commitment to positive representations of Black beauty gained him devoted followers, including celebrities like Halle Berry, who was recently seen carrying his luxe purse, the Downtown Tote.
