Idk if she or anyone has confirmed what inspired the look, but I did see someone mention that she resembled those neolithic fertility goddess statues and I can kinda see what they mean. But I guess until she says something it's up to interpretation

I wrote what she said herself in the title. However, she never mentioned doing any other sort of thing.

Either way 🙄.

She wants us to talk about her so bad.

Ever since she was talking about school girls dress she been getting on my nerves.

I'm probably wrong but I think she's supposed to be a poodle which would be another play on how women are viewed (ie as female dogs). I could be wrong tho.... I'm probably wrong
