I came across this picture of a Nature Girl With Lesbian Stick<\/em> while browsing at twistedlamb<\/a>, a blog with a very strong sensibility I’ll call Pagan Hipster<\/strong>. It involves S & M, sexual ambiguity, Goth glamor and a whiff of bestiality. It’s the work of a stylist who manages to find strikingly sinister images that often attract and repel, without just relying on leather and spikes.<\/p>\n

When can we call for a moratorium on leather and spikes? It’s like every sex-shop since the beginning of time has spewed its merchandise all over the fashion industry, leaving moto-this and moto-that everywhere. Enough, for godsake! The backlash is bound to be a return to modesty and preppy cleanliness. I think I’m ready for it.<\/p>\n

Looking around the fashion blogs, I see how many are basically a collection of images, sometimes punctuated by a collage of “Stuff I Love!” or “Things That Inspire Me!” Kate Moss, \u00a0 Bridgette Bardot, Anita Pallenberg, and Jane Birkin are the usual style muses, then there’s some obscure Death Metal Band or European poet.<\/p>\n

I’m more inspired by people like Tragic Fashion Boy<\/strong><\/a>, who makes a bold new statement with red (thanks to andrea<\/strong> for the tip!)<\/p>\n
