I don't take myself very seriously. I create characters all the time because I love dressing up in costumes and I make myself become them. I especially enjoy the style of the 1940s and 1950s because I think the hair and make up were so elegant and complicated. It blows my mind when I think about how women used to wake up 4 hours early just to their hair for work or school but the end result is so stunningly beautiful I can see why they would do it. I'm also obsessed with old photographs and when I found a bunch in Brooklyn this weekend I was immediately inspired to do my self-portrait in that style as well.
