S H O P P I N G Q U E S T I O N S : 

Where did you buy / can you send me a link to this item? 
- Do you save links to every item you've ever bought online? Sorry, this answer is rude. But it's true, am I right. I've bought different things since I was 11, I still use some things I bought then. I can't. I also don't remember everything, but please look at photo captions, or contact me on Ask.fm.

F A S H I O N Q U E S T I O N S :

What do you call your style? 
- Street fashion on some days, hobo kei on some days, Tumblr hipster on other days.

How old were you when you started dressing this way? 
- J-rock inspired / some sort of failed attempt at decora at age 11, "this" way at age 16. My style developed. Go through my Tumblr archive if you want to look back, at least a few years!

How do you afford everything? 
- I've worked on and off since I was 16. Students in Sweden also get money from the state to be able to afford focusing on school. I haven't bought anything new in ages, either, as I've been given the opportunity to promote sponsors.



D E A L I N G W I T H L I F E / P R E J U D I C E / H O M O P H O B I A / E T C . :

Do people look at you funny? 
- Yes.

How do you get the courage to wear the clothes you like? 
- Wearing the clothes I like is what gives me courage. I used to be super self-conscious, always looking up to my favorite bands and friends whom I admired for dressing all cool, but not feeling good enough. Then I tried, it was scary at first, but then it felt awesome and since then I haven't stopped. Read more here.

How do you handle negative comments? 
- Kill them with kindness, or sass. A smile is the best "fuck off" you can give a rude little brat, a sassy comment works just as well. This, if anything, will give you courage.

What is your sexual orientation? 
- As gay as the day is long.

How long have you known / how do I know if I'm gay? 
- I obviously can't possibly tell you what you are because that is something only you can know. Which is what I did. I fell in love with my best friend when I was 14 and that was that, before that I hadn't thought about it.

How did you come out? 
- I didn't. My parents never said "when you get a boyfriend / husband / etc." or in any way assumed I was anything, so it wasn't hard. I said I had a girlfriend. Mum asked me if I liked boys or only girls. I said I only liked girls. She asked what I wanted for dinner then suddenly my whole family knew. Done.

How do I deal with homophobic parents? 
- I can't answer this in a good way. You will have to talk to someone who knows, like a guidance councelor, or your school nurse. I've never had to deal with that issue and I can't know what your relationship with your parents is like, so I don't know. I wish I did, but I can't.
