“We started the Society of Monstrous Women because you can put on a mask and be whatever you want to be. You can push back on what society thinks a monstrous woman is and be a monstrous woman. All of our costumes have meaning. This is the mother costume because when you become a mother you aren’t a woman anymore, you are a plaything. Every time I tell a mother what this is, she says, ‘yes, that is the truth’.”
“This is a modern interpretation of a witch. Taken from the 60 witches that protested all of the stupid shit that is still going on in the world. I was going to make a sign that said ‘Move your Ash’ to protest against Alabama Power not moving their coal ash.”
“I am Lizzie Borden who killed her parents with an ax and got away with it. With good reason. We watched the movie last night.”
‘I am the power of the ocean representing the feminine power of the earth. It can be dangerous if it is not careful. I am a photographer and there are photos of the ocean all over my costume.”
“I am Judith. Holofernes was going to destroy my village, but I seduced him and cut off his head.”
“I live and breathe beauty and love paper and paper dolls. I am representing the unfortunate beauty standards of today. Unnecessarily Uncomfortable clothing. Insane makeup. I get to do this with a bunch of badasses.
“Mine is marching towards a better future. A better future for all with gender equality, environmentalism and love over hate.”
“I am a Siberian ice princess. They found her with her skin in tack and tattoos on her body. I love connecting with a prehistoric culture.”
“I made this costume based on how you are supposed to be sexy before you are ready to be sexy. I am in a six-piece punk band and this is what I perform in. A lot of our music is about the juxtaposition between innocence and what our culture says you are supposed to put out to be. The fur on the legs is because we are supposed to be hairless.”
“I am Freya goddess of love,”
“I am Medusa. I was a normal woman but was raped and Athena turned me into a monster and had me beheaded. It was not my fault until I was nice and good until all of this stuff happened to me and I was pissed.”
