rgr-pop:
A few days ago, I posted two of Nickolas Muray’s portraits of Frida Kahlo. They are modestly blowing up. My dashboard is flooded with snippets like “she’s so beautiful” and “how was she so pretty?” and “#tears in my eye over how flawless you are” and “frida, you dirty girl.” Dirty girl.

Fan-made trailer for Sarah Jacobson’s 1993 I WAS A TEENAGE SERIAL KILLER.
