The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
For spring 2016 FTL Moda teamed up with Global Disability Inclusion and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation to raise money and showcase #FashionFreeFromConfines. The runway show featured supermodels Adriana Lima and Toni Garrn alongside models with disabilities including Leslie Irby, Rebekah Marine, Shaholly Ayers and 18 year old Australian model Madeline Stuart who has down syndrome.
⥢The Sigyn Defense Squad: A Network for Sigyn Fans and Devotees⥤
If asked the question: “is Sigyn important to you?” would you answer “YES OF COURSE SHE IS” or some other variation thereupon? Then this is the network for you!
⥼Rules:
Reblog this
Leave me a message saying you’d like to join the network and you will be included! No surveys, blog requirements, or judgey “not-my-aesthetic” exclusions here; all will be welcomed.
In your message please tell me whether you prefer the tag #sigynnet or #sigyndefensesquad. The winning tag will be the network default tag that you should track, announced in September.
BE NICE TO EACH OTHER. Respect others opinions be they fandom-based, Edda-based, or worship-based. One of the greatest characteristics of Sigyn is that she is a lacuna, and so everyone’s Sigyn is different, and that is amazing. Respect eachother’s Sigyns. Play nice.
I guess follow Sigyn’s loser fanbitch? If you want?? I feel awkward asking anyone to follow me, so only do that if you want to (but the network will be located on a page of my blog, so it might be easier that way)
Please submit your join-asks with tag preferences by September 15th. (Anyone who wants to join after that will still be welcome! You’ll just miss the tag vote.)
-If I get less than five join-asks, and this gets less than ten notes, then I suppose the net will be scrapped for another time.
⥼When Accepted:
I will message you to let you know
You will need to respond to said message with: a name you’d like to be called by on your banner, and an image of Sigyn (art/photo/sculpture/fanart/whatever) that you would like as the background of said banner (which will be 95×300, and an image other than the one pictured above, cuz I call dibs ;P)
You will be given a link to the network page and I will make a startup post, linking all members, and providing the winning tag.
⥼What You'll Get:
A network of Sigyn-loving nerds to share your feelings with 🙂
if enough people join, we can set up special tags for art/fic/devotional info/everyday gnosis/meta/discussions or any other Sigyn-related topics
possibly a skype group-chat or online chat (if someone can help me figure that out)
I will draw any and all of you a doodle of your Sigyn/a Sigyn of your choosing for your birthday 🙂
Reblog to spread the word, and hopefully we shall meet again on the 15th!
