Holy Dances



dress - DIY // coat - c/o Sammy Dress // belt - vintage // sunglasses - Miracle Eye // shoes - Miracle Eye

Let's spend a few seconds to take in the fact that this dress exists and is on my body. And doesn't cover my underwear. Heh. I would love to sell dresses like this one through Miracle Eye, but silk velvet (which is what this dress is made of) plus some more really expensive beaded fringe = out of most of my customer's budgets. Blah.

Also, for those of you who read an older post of mine from a week or so ago, you know about that gang rape case in Delhi, India.. and you know that humans are fucking sick, twisted, things, right? No surprise.. but, I read this article a few days ago, that only proved humans are sick, twisted, and a joke to say the least. The lawyer representing three of the men charged with the gang rape murder believes that the assault was the victim's fault, and the men are not to blame. I CAN'T. WHAT. HAS HE HEARD OF LOGIC?

STUPID LAWYER THOUGHT NUMBER ONE: He states that he has never heard of a ***respected lady*** being raped in India. I CAN'T x2.

STUPID LAWYER THOUGHT NUMBER TWO: He believes that the female victim should have 'chanted God's name and fallen at the feet of the feet of the attackers' to stop the assault. I CAN'T x3.

STUPID LAWYER THOUGHT NUMBER THREE: He states that the man accompanying the female victim should not have been traveling back late in the evening know they were going to use public transport. He also states that it was the ***man's responsibility*** to protect the woman and that he failed his duty. I CAN'T x infinity.

How are these male rapists and male lawyer the same species as me???????????????????

That dress is sooo gorgeous.. and about the rape, ugh, I just don't get it... what kind of people can seriously think to themselves that it's ok to do something like that/blame the victim? wtf I just don't get it. GAHH.

That's so weird and twisted and really freaking fucked up. How can people actually be that stupid??!?! I can't believe that we live in the same world as these people. I really cant. And it's so depressing.
But hey - even though it makes us wanna kill ourselves, we need to turn that energy into doing something about it. And that's totally what you're doing by writing these posts.
Ur great and intelligent and we need people to pay attention to social equality.. and your dress also.

First thought: this dress, your hair, shoes, and sunglasses=perfection. Like, ready to go out and buy it all, perfection.

Second thought. I was literally angry reading about the case you shared. How can that lawyer even think those things, let alone saying them out loud.

And I agree--how the hell can they be of the same species.

LOVE YOUR BLOG!
