Izanami (meaning ‘She Who Invites’) was the goddess of both creation and death as well as the former wife of the god Izanagi in Japanese mythology. They were the eighth pair of brother-and-sister gods to appear after heaven and earth separated out of chaos. By standing on the floating bridge of heaven and stirring the primeval ocean with a heavenly jewelled spear, they created the first landmass. Eventually they had two children, Hiruko (‘leech-child’) and Awashima, but they were born deformed and were not considered deities. They put the children into a boat and set them out to sea, then petitioned the other gods for an answer as to what they did wrong. They were told that the male deity should have spoken first in greeting during the marriage ceremony. They both tried again, this time with Izanagi speaking first, making their marriage successful and from their union the Ōyashima, or the ‘Great Eight Islands’ of Japan were born.

I wish there were more images from the Met Gala like this- not just revelling in the glamour of fashion but also acknowledging the human cost of it.

On the one hand this picture is a reminder of how far America has come in terms of race relations, giving us hope for further evolution (which is so sorely needed). On the other hand, it reminds us of the blood, sweat and tears that went into building America's cotton industry. Sadly, there are huge travesties and injustices that still happen in the name of fashion.

Kelly has been killing it in Italy!

Miro a los cielos que ya se han ido, surcando las resecas vides de mi destino. Fueron bolas de fuego las afiladas lenguas, que arrasaron toda la realidad de mis enigmas. Esa amarillenta página " mengua que mengua " de silente tristeza noble en sus dos orillas. Miro de frente... el venir de mi estocada, y siento en la carne - el herir de la espada !! Sueño con mi suerte " sucia y desterrada ", e intuyo mi muerte... lenta y desbocada. Araño a la vida... con mis garras ilotas, y muerdo con rabia eso que no alcanzo. Intuyo el vuelo alto de las blancas gaviotas, y despierto en el suelo... - roto y descalzo !! Ousía Poética © Leandro Lojek

Khione (Χιονη meaning ‘Snow’) was minor goddess or snow nymph in Greek mythology, who was loved by Poseidon resulting in a son named Eumolpus. There are also varying myths surrounding Khione, including one that portrayed her as a woman, so vain on account of her beauty, that she claimed she could rival Artemis (goddess of the hunt). Furious at the accusation Artemis struck her with an arrow, instantly killing her. She was also said to have had a relationship with Artemis’s twin Apollo (god of archery) and Hermes (god of trade). In one story Apollo waited for nightfall and then approached her in the guise of an old woman. Hermes then put her to sleep and raped her. She became pregnant with twins, one Autolykus the son of Hermes, and the other Philammon, the son of Apollo.
