I love it when the frontier between fetish and fashion is so thin, you don’t really know anymore…
I found this on some fetish website and it could very well be a fashion show backstage picture.
I think it’s truly beautiful…

he accepts to pause, we have a short and friendly chat about original skinheadism, kippas and old school french tattoo artists
better believe Avi knows what he talks about

This is a found looped film stock of Croda employees in the late 40s showing off the strength of pure gelatin: How fascinating !

I have seen many collections, some beautiful, some ugly. Not even is this one beautiful but, it is largely one of the most impressive as far as is concerned the impact on the body and the visual impression that it provides as a whole. Tyson says he has more than 80 artists on his body. I can believe this. I took as many pictures I could until my eyes rolled back and my head started spinning from this psychedelic rave. Tyson kindly accepted to write all the artists who appear in my pix. Appreciated.

Tyson currently works in Sweden in Theo Jack’s studio: Infamous Tattoo Studio.

On Friday we attended to the last but one representation of this amazing piece. The play/performance is almost entirely performed by three dancers in vacuum bags. There isn’t much I can say but… breathtaking. It definitely brings a very interesting and unusual perspective to this peculiar fetish. My only reserve goes to the funny but clumsy finish.
