I remember everyone calling her androgynous at the time. Looking back, that was an absolutely wild thing for people to think.

    You know what, I kinda take that back.

    I feel like it’s more androgynous now than it was then though, because it’s much more acceptable now for guys to wear make-up.

    But like, idk how, 14 years ago or whatever, people saw this and were like “maybe a dude?”

    To be clear I mean this as in “people were sexist back then, because it was used as a pejorative, just because her makeup wasn’t conventional and she wasn’t wearing revealing clothes”
    And
    “I think this aesthetic fuckin rocks and was way ahead of its time”
