sailorv: My latest art project (in progress): the sailor moon seifuku in sheer pink tulle, with french seams (some of it is still pinned) Thank you so much to everyone for your support (on here and instagram - I’m really shocked by the amount of responses). I presented this in critique yesterday, and no one understood that it was Sailor Moon (or at least no one admitted it). I kind of blame myself, since I intentionally excluded the sailor collar for stylistic purposes that I’ll explain in a moment. Nonetheless, despite missing the Sailor Moon reference, people still got the sexualization of the lolita figure/hero, which was the most important part. I’ve had this idea in my head for several months now, but it wasn’t until I came across the notorious Cosmopolitan sex tip column that advised roleplaying Sailor Moon during sex because she was men’s #1 childhood cartoon character that they wanted to sleep with. (Maybe someone can link it? I no longer have it.) Before I knew what feminism was, I knew what Sailor Moon was: powerful, strong, okay with crying, well-dressed, loved a man but didn’t need him, and loyal to her friends. As I’ve grown up, I’ve always held on to the values that I learned from Sailor Moon - and I know many women (even those who no longer watch it) who feel the same way. It’s not that I think sex and heroism are mutually exclusive; on the contrary, I think sexuality is incredibly empowering for women. But I feel like Sailor Moon’s is often taken away from her; for instance, she’s often described as a “school girl fetish,” her outfit as “slutty,” etc. Never mind that a super hero would have a lot of trouble fighting crime in a long skirt. Never mind that the male producers of Sailor Moon begged for a longer hem, and Naoko Takeuchi (the female creator of Sailor Moon) insisted that they remain short simply because it was “cute.” Sailor Moon was created by women, for women. So I found it a bit troubling that this heroine would be broken down into a sex toy for someone’s boyfriend - that a powerful woman (14 years old, no less) would be made vulnerable to the act of sex. Granted, I don’t know anyone who actually follows Cosmo’s sex advice, though as an aside, I would love to meet the people who think putting donuts on your SO’s you-know-what is a good idea. At the same time, I didn’t want my piece to be necessarily damning to the idea of a sexually-empowered heroine - I think that would be too easy. I wanted to create something that was alluring, beautiful, but still vulnerable - hence the idea of transparency. I left out the Sailor Collar because it covered up too much, and stylistically, I preferred the high collar. Also, I can confirm: this looks awesome on. I do have one more planned (though not Sailor Moon) that I hope to share within the next couple of weeks. At the end of April, I might be participating in an art show in which this would be featured, in case any Denton readers are interested.
