This is a group of real women who volunteered to be photographed while doing things that are typically an illusion of “proper” behavior. Self-grooming, applying or removing makeup, and drinking alcohol in a very “non-ladylike” fashion. The color choices and make-up stylings were decided by my 4-year old daughter as a commentary on who decides what is beautiful or proper when it comes to women’s identities.
