Ok so before I go into my Portfolio time I would just like to share my Elective work with you guys (and probably loose a couple of followers.. haai shame) The sexual revolution, also known as a time of sexual liberation, was a social movement that challenged traditional codes of behavior related to sexuality and interpersonal relationships throughout the western world from the 1960s to the 1980s. Sexual liberation included increased acceptance of sex outside of traditional heterosexual, monogamous relationships (primarily marriage). The normalization of contraception and the pill, public nudity, premarital sex homosexuality and alternative forms of sexuality. Keeping in mind that the sex revolution started in the 60's and we moved on 50 years already, I found it disgraceful that society still doesn't accept other people's sexuality. So for my elective I did a series of portraits on gender presentation. My goal with this is to show that after 50 years of fighting we still get people that look at you weird when wearing something that is "for girls" because society said so. A person’s gender and their gender presentation are often - but not necessarily - related. For instance, while a woman is expected to wear things that are coded female (dresses, for instance), a man wearing a dress is still a man. People of all genders can present in any way. Despite this, non-binary people do often present in non-normative ways. When a person presents in a way “between” the two binary genders, it’s often known as androgyny. A person may also combine feminine and masculine coded things in such a way as to deliberately contrast them - this is sometimes known as genderfuck. You can go look on my website and tumblr page for the entire series www.abriedekoning.com www.abriedekoning.tumblr.com #genderequality #genderrebel #elective #1960s #1970s #1980s #sexrevolution #pride #lgbtpride

John Milton

“O fairest of creation, last and best Of all God’s works, creature in whom excelled, Whatever can to sight or thought be formed, Holy, Divine, good, amiable, or sweet!! Our state cannot be served; we are one, one flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself”

I laugh harder with you. I feel more myself with you. I trust you with me–the real me. When something goes wrong, or right, or I hear a funny joke, or I see something bizarre, you’re the first person I want to talk to about it.
