Are you feeling me, ladies?
A Christian group shows up to a Chicago Gay Pride parade holding apologetic signs including “I’m sorry for how the church treated you”
“Soo the original picture for this compares pictures of thinner, lithe women with vintage photos of women with curvier figures and reads “When did this….become hotter than this?” I’ve seen it on my facebook news feed numerous times and the blatant thin shaming didn’t sit well with me, so I decided to make my own version and post it on my wall. I also reported the original image, which had over 60,000 ‘likes.’ I invite anyone else who has seen this image on facebook to do the same. “

IKKO
IKKO tends to take traditional color sets and layer them with regard to proportions and texture to make them very very modern. Here the obi (black) is wrapped with at least three other obiage and strips of fabric. The benefit of using an obiage with a motif (such as this one with the peony) is that it breaks up the thick band of color and gives the illusion of the kimono’s design bleeding up into the obi. The tie of the obijime does the same on the other side. The dangling tassel of the pouch in her collar does the same for the upper area. Cleverly, this kimono is arranged so there are no perfect, unbroken horizontals in this obi.
This gives the eye something to rest on (a lot of horizontals) BUT keeps them from breaking up the diagonal/bouncing rhythm of the kimono by interrupting each of them and giving you something to look at.
I appreciate IKKO’s sensitivity to texture, and this piece is a great example.

pro-choice group counter protesting anti-choice group. a total of about 3 anti-choice people holding explicit posters of aborted fetuses standing in the rain looking bored compared to over a dozen singing, smiling and positive pro-choice people expressing themselves and giving out information on safe sex and safe abortions. one group is clearly more productive, just saying.
