Metropolis (1927) gif
I was gonna be this for Halloween.
And then I remembered that can’t see my feet over my own rack.
i tried to be the whore of babylon (not the metropolis version exactly, more the bible version) but failed miserably. it was my best slutty halloween costume ever though.
Louise Brooks, The American Venus, 1927
makes me sad this film is lost and that i have never seen it.
also this makes me sad because of that time i tried on a fancy hat thing with an ostrich feather but it was so fucking expensive it broke my heart.

anna may wong is not impressed by your bullshit.
UGH THE INTERNET THIS WEEK. this is how i feel about that stupid fucking beyoncé vs. freddie mercury shade on facebook. this is how i feel about all the fucking dicks who think online harassment and threats are par for the course if you’re a woman who speaks her mind online. this is how i feel about all the shitbags who only care when white straight cis women are harassed. this is how i feel about people defending rape jokes. this is how i feel about people who send me disgusting messages via twitter and then BLOCK ME so i can’t respond.
ha! as if i would waste my breath on you, fucking waste of space.
a gif of louise brooks smiling and laughing? how can i resist!? (i believe this is from pandora’s box, g.w. pabst, 1929)
