there are a lot of weird kinky stories in ancient greek mythology but can you imagine how fucking weird it would be if you walked into pygmalion’s workshop to commission some art and found him hardcore making out with some statue like a hipster in a museum
@villierscy this wasn’t originally a post about that but now it is PLEASE share more about the freak mashing mouths with queen victoria
Worked as a gallery attendant. Can confirm that weirdos kissing the sculptures is a Real Thing and is Not Good for the art. Red lipstick on porous rock is a helluva thing to have to report.
Then there was that time when the Antinous Mondragone arrived from the Louvre for an exhibit at the Henry Moore museum in Leeds, 2006, and was found to have lipstick kisses. Photo: Caroline Vout, “Hadrian, Hellenism, and the Social History of Art” (X)
Turns out there’s a word for it: Agalmatophilia, sexual attraction to a statue, doll, or mannequin.
Fortunately, experts have studied barrier coatings to protect marble from lipstick and other residue of “inappropriate visitor actions”. (X)
Why can’t y’all be normal and just get a waifu pillow like the rest of us?
I PHYSICALLY CAN’T NOT REBLOG THIS WHEN IT COMES UP ON MY DASH
IT’S TOO COOL
It’s called Winterguard. It’s a sport. Those girls are marching band color-guard girls during the summer touring season, and during the winter they compete against other color-guard teams to music. Costumes, props, mats, everything has to be carried onto the gym floor and then taken back away and counts as part of your performance time.
So when Family Guy or other popular media makes fun of color-guard girls, it pisses me off. We are not rejected cheerleaders. We are what you see above. We kick ass. We spin rifles and flags and sabers.
Gods, women are just…. *flexes hands” SO amazing!
HELLA COOL
Speaking as someone who lived and breathed cheerleading for five years of her life, color guard girls are fucking cool as hell and I WISH I could pull off the shit they do.
