Thank you, my dear, but I’m fine with it. All it tells us is that people apparently love political satire, Alice, dolls, lace and anatomy which are all amongst my Top 50 things ever. So all is well. 

I hope your Vania shoot went well and no already dead animals got nosebleeds. x

Oh, and could it be… maybe… TREPANATION HOUR already? No? You sure? Pardon me… o_O

* Einsiedeln is a fascinating place. Surrounded by moors that are haunted by dead soldiers. The average age of its population is so high, probably around 135 years old, you’re not even sure people are alive anymore. Go see the Black Madonna in case you ever get stranded there.

This stark dissection—with ragged flesh fully displayed and hands bound with a cord—signals a commitment to a higher level of realism. To our eyes, the picture may suggest a distressing indifference to, or even pleasure in, human suffering.
