With razor blades hidden under modified school uniforms, sukeban represented both terror and solidarity. ...
a little black girl magic for your dash today.
In the 70s, Japan was terrorized by sukeban gangs of teenage girls who carried razor blades underneath their school skirts. Unsurprisingly, it inspired a whole generation of filmmakers and teen rebels.
My mother should be concerned. With every seasonal shift, I inadvertently go off in search of new inspiration for my clothing, home decor, art, and attitude. In previous years, it's always been seemingly harmless: one summer I was obsessed with everything that reminded me of Lisa Frank. Another summer I was Betty Draper. Another summer I created my life to match the "Rabbit Fur Coat" album. Another summer I cut off my hair and replaced all of my clothes with black skinny jeans and white v-necks to channel Elvis from "Jailhouse Rock". Yes, that actually happened. Yes it was awesome. No it didn't last. This summer's inspiration is far from clean cut and I have no intention of shying away. This summer is kitschy, bizarre, brash, unapologetically tacky, mildly unnerving, charmingly disturbing and strange as only the transition from 60's to 70's can be. This summer is all about cheap beer, gaudy cat eye sunglasses, John Waters on VHS, stale sprinkled donuts, Aqua Net, and motherfucking girl gangs. I really am starting a girl gang. Wanna join? If I was going to be totally honest, I'd probably just tell you that I want to be Divine from Female Trouble. Period. Many of these images are from the astoundingly talented Nadia Lee, and sources for all other images can be found here. Do you have inspiration this summer? Is it themed? What about it caught your eye? Do tell.

Flannery O’Connor is the object of much fascination, literary and otherwise. Her stories alone would be enough to fixate on—they are dark wonders, grotesque, sardonic, and often transcendent,…
can i make a contribution? for when the whole gang is being real autistic about something
Star Wars films (pre-Disney) were a big part of my childhood growing up. My brother and I would watch them again and again, and then when we had friends over, we’d make them watch the films again too. When it came to writing college applications, my brother actually wrote his essay on Luke Skywalker (I…
