Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Faster
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master

AND WHAT THE HELL WAS THE BLOG ABOUT THEN?
Well... Frequently asked questions back in the day:
WHY DID YOU START THIS BLOG?
Today's Swedish fashion blogs are extremely powerful with up to as many as 100 000 unique readers a week per blog (!). A qualified guess is that many of the readers are youngsters, easily being influenced by the photos they see, and the texts they read. When I started reading the content of these fashion blogs I was struck by the mind numbing information - sum total is to 'shop until you drop' and be pretty with the latest make up. Anorectic celebrities are often idealized as well as very expensive brand labels. The mass psychosis that prevails within the fashion blog world, is scary, to say the least. The extreme hype is hard to understand, for the one not being in it.
With my blog I want to counteract the distorted and twisted ideal of beauty in today's society. I want to decrease the sickening and growing shopoholism, where materialism and brand labels are the only thing that seem to matter (which surely must put people in debt). My aim is also to look at working conditions in the fashion industry. Gender aspects are of interest as well. In order for me to reach out with these ideas, I had to start where the problem is, in this case, the fashion forum. All serious topics that I comment on, are mixed with a great portion of humour and sarcasm, adbusters, and pictures of my self (!). I simply hope social criticism to be a winning combination, 'in my little corner of the (blog) world' = no, I do not think I'm unique doing this ;)

THE BIRTH OF STYLESUCKER / THE FIRST BLOG ENTRY:
Welcome. This is an anti fashion blog. I'm fed up.
"Oooo what am I going to wear today? ... my Gucci or my Prada? My yada yada?" I.e.:
I am fashion My fashion life Anna Mirja Maria Kiss me Stace Sofi Fahrman
They are everywhere. EVERYWHERE. What has gone wrong with the world?
It's just clothes. A fuckin piece of material. Never forget that.
