“The Warrior of Light costume symbolizes Ukraine nation’s fight against darkness. Like Archangel Michael, who defends Ukraine with a sword, it protects us.“

I don't know how many people have seen the costume in the middle picture here, I last saw it at some point last week I think when it was first revealed. This is Viktoria Apanasenko, the current Miss Ukraine, and that is her costume for part of the Miss Universe contest which she has called the Angel of Light to symbolize her countries fight against the darkness. And just goddamn if that isn't the most bad ass thing I have ever seen. Besides the fact that it is utterly amazing, it also is courageous and uplifting and it felt to me to be the perfect way to finish out this year because she seems to just embody the courage of the Ukrainian people that is flat out astonishing at times. A lot bad has happened in the world and the invasion of Ukraine is awful. I am not one for silver linings but this war has provided me one anyway. The way that the people of Ukraine have absolutely refused to back down in the face of swelling tide of authoritarianism is inspirational and fills me with so much hope. It has forced Western Democracies to step up and finally draw a line. Perhaps it's not ok to get in bed with dictatorships just because it makes us a little bit more comfortable. I know not everyone agrees with me but I buy plenty of useless crap and I am ok buying slightly less because it's slightly more expensive if it means not fueling oppression both abroad but also at home because let's remember, these very same regimes are doing all in their power to subvert democracy where you live as well. I know you think I might not know here you live but I don't have to because if you live in a democracy it is currently happening. And Ukraine was supposed to roll over. They were not supposed to have the will to fight for their fragile and flawed democracy. Not that long ago they had to toss out someone who was likely not fairly elected. This is a country where democracy was supposed to fade away and a strong man puppet would be installed and that would be it because that's just the way of things. Those people over there can never handle democracy and so this was inevitable. Except it wasn't and they fought and they fight and they have shown that actually things like giving people a voice isn't the weakness some try to paint it as. It's inspirational and it gives me hope than maybe the rest of us, those further from the front lines, those who live more comfortably, can actually get our shit together as well. So I love that picture. It's badass and it's beautiful and it is hopeful. And she is beautiful either way but just remarkably beautiful with a sword and wings. I will just share her words here because it's all I need to do in the end to justify why she is here today, "It is the personification of inner strength, courage, determination and will flowing in our veins. War cannot break our strength and will not discolor our hearts. Ukraine will bloom like a phoenix even in a fire. It shines with bright rays of kindness and faith. We are all true warriors of light - unbreakable, made of steel, who will definitely defeat the darkness and evil that has come to our land". Today I want to fuck Viktoria Apanasenko.
