From The Cut:
 

She cites Michael Jackson, Prince, David Bowie, and Tilda Swinton as her style inspirations.

“I don’t want to be a man,” she says. “I very much enjoy being a woman — I love my body, and the sexiness of being a woman — but I like men’s clothes.”

 Oh yes, those influences come through very clearly. Especially Tilda Swinton, they look hella similar.

“I am pretty ready to get rid of the hair, but I am kind of attached to it,” she says. “At the same time, I am kind of fed up with talking about it.”

It's such good hair! But I would be interested in seeing what would be next...

AND: SHE'S ONLY 22!! Ahh, makes me want to be a star too.

Reblogged from The Cut, which reblogged from WWD.

"I have another answer to your question. Alcohol is prohibited in this country because alcohol is like literature. Literature brings out the best and worst part of ourselves. If you're angry it brings out your anger. If you are sad, it brings out your sadness. And some of us are... Let's just say, not very happy."

"Yes, we deserve a little drink. We work hard enough. We deserve all that life offers us, and life is made of little moments. Little moments as small as violet petals. Little moments I could save in a jar and keep forever, like now talking to you."

"In his letter he was going to write everything he'd been meaning to tell her."

So smart. Intellect is so attractive.

Hopefully more on this article later, I just wanted to post it to get it on the blog so I don't forget about it. It's like a mini-stub wiki article.
