Description

This painting (oil, canvas) symbolised my relationship to fashion of androgyny, "hermaphrodity" and another "gothic" and "pederast" look.
Man without masculinity and woman without femininity. Isn't it horrible?

I think it's an amazing image. Moreover, it got me thinking: in those traditional societies where men are expected to be strong and women are expected to be fertile, such a weak-looking, androgynous character's survival might hinge on his/her abilities to make others laugh and/or question convention; having some affinity with real or imagined magic, spirits of the dead or gods might also be a major help. I've seen many depictions of jesters that take steps in these directions but few have gone so far as this.
