i couldn’t sit through the entirety of the swedish one and had to turn it off after like the seventeenth graphic rape/dismemberment/etc and thus i was not planning on subjecting myself to the american one and am certainly paying $13 plus popcorn to do so, but i’m sure we can figure something out

let’s try, maybe we can get an “intern”
they can go on an Official Errand buy the h+m pants for us too
Sometimes you end up having so many conversations about your Feelings about a thing, which are not even very Complicated feelings just Obvious ones, that actually “writing a coherent thing about it” seems simultaneously impossible and totally boring so there’s nothing left to do but post the weirdo conversations you had about it instead, which is what’s about to happen with regards to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and specifically the H+M collection inspired by such which we have seen ALL OVER THE INTERNETS this week but in case we haven’t, well, there’s a photo of it above, and there’s a lot more e-mail conversations, facebook posts, and links after the jump.
But hey, as previously mentioned — if anyone wants to, uh, volunteer as an one-time intern for Sarah and I to compile a photomontage for us of Rooney Mara’s styling without actually having to subject us to the inevitable eighty seven brutal rape scenes, we’re totally serious. Sort of. We can pay you with whiskey.

i tweeted back at you about the h+m thing yes i have a lot of Feelings also
some of my feelings also were like ‘freja beha’ and ‘they all just look gay to me i’m glad hollywood stylists/h+m took like eight years to catch up with notions of OMG PUNK ANDROGYNY as cutting-edge’ also ‘god did i really just say that’ but also ‘oh cool it looks like helmut lang or whatever but will cost $29.99 instead’ but also ‘shit that means it’s made by chained and starving 8 year olds in thailand or whatever though’ and also ‘ew’ and also ‘but cool’ and also ‘yep we know what i am buying at h+m in december’

yeah also the Feelings of “ugh lisbeth salander my old boss telling me i looked like her all the time appropriation/commodification of things that are important to me sweatshops gross gross ugh man i want those pants”

wanting pants is really, really complicated sometimes, FUCK THAT SHIT, i hate wanting pants when i don’t want to want the pants
actually i just looked at that photo again and realized i think i actually already own another version of actually literally every item shown there, and i think i have worn each of those outfits except for the one with the sweatpants sometime within the last month and i don’t have leather pants nor do i want them, so maybe it’ll be okay

i know, it is funny, i sent that link to my friend cristina and she was like “why are you freaking out, i have seen you in literally all of those outfits already”
i do want leather pants but i do not want fake leather pants, not even a little bit, alas

it turns out zara already made the drop crotch sweatpant of my dreams and i found them at beacons closet today so i don’t even need that h&m lisbeth salander business
For context and further reading we should also note the following things as well:
- The Rejectionist once wrote a smart thing about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo for Tiger Beatdown which sums up my feelings nicely as well
- We also had some Feelings about something akin to “commodification and fetishization of punk or alternative female identities” that we started talking about over at The Rayanne Project but there are so many other things to say about it that it is not, like, a Developed Conversation just yet
- This is what I dress like in case you like don’t look at the rest of this blog or whatever
