amandashaped: Happy Birthday, Robert Smith! Here’s a recently commissioned tribute. (I loved doing this; thank you again! ) I’ve never been HUGELY into The Cure. But lots of individual songs (especially the perversely peppy ones) have naturally seeped into my being the way they would with any self-respecting, red-blooded post-punk fan. What resonates with me more than their music, to be honest, is the way in which this man has slathered his face in makeup for the past forty years. I’ve been finetuning my own aesthetic with excrutiating intention for eons now, and whenever I come across one of these likeminded weirdos it means a lot to me. Gender is a constuct. It’s dumb. You should do whatever makes you feel strong, and awesome, and fucking cool, and like you’re existing in your own singular skin. Anything else really doesn’t matter, go! -- source link
