Feminist large size lingerie Artist Embroidered Rap Lyrics Onto Lingerie To Start A Conversation

It would be nice if cheap lingerie sets all of our passions corresponded neatly with our ideals. Then all of our convictions, rituals, turn ons and hobbies could fit easily into a single, orderly box, with no stray quirks or preferences. Alas, life is sloppy and complex and so are we. As a result, sometimes our beliefs and our interests can butt heads, leading to an internal struggle that's hard to qualify and comprehend. 

Just ask artist Zoe Buckman, who, for years, has blue laca eunderwear been engaged in a brutal interior battle between who she describes as "Zoe the feminist" and "Zoe the hip-hop lover."

Bethanie Brady Artist plus size lingerie sale Management / (c) Billy Farrell / BFA.comBuckman grew up in a socialist, feminist household, listening to the lyrics of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur, left to grapple with the implications of the artists' occasionally misogynist lyrics. When she became a mother, Buckman realized instead of humming lullabies to her baby at night, she was reciting rap lyrics, and often rather explicit ones. 

As the artist explained sexy black lace lingerie to The Creators Project, "When you're cooing into your baby's ear lyrics like, 'Bitches I like them brainless, guns I like them stainless steel,' it's hard not to find issue with the messaging and want to use your artwork to explore this dialogue."

She decided to channel this tension into her work, embroidering lyrics from the two rappers onto pieces of women's lingerie, juxtaposing both empowering and chauvinist snippets to capture the wide and often muddled range of attitudes toward women represented in the music. The series is called "Every Curve."

"It is important to me that people see that there are many empowering messages for women within this genre of music, but that some of the ideas of women are polarizing," the artist explained to The Huffington Post. One lyric from Biggie reads: "I don't give the bitch enough to ride the bus." A Tupac quote reads: "I swear I'll never call you bitch again." And one more from Biggie's "Big Booty Hoes": "Ain't that a slut, hell yeah, she even take it in the butt."

"I wanted to place the music in the context of the history of women, and so it was important to me to source antique garments that women had worn close to their bodies," Buckman said. "I feel that the pieces take on the stories of the women who have inhabited them and so it felt right to bring some lineage into the work."
