Olympia was her name…
While her name originates from athletic excellence, perfection bores her, she’s daring, she’s messy, she’s not afraid of confrontation.
She’s Manet’s Olympia, unashamedly staring out of the starkly painted canvas, her impassivity causing outrage, how dare a woman be seen in all her realness.
She’s Courtney Love screaming Olympia, mockingly calling out the pretentious, self righteous indie punk scene in Olympia, Washington during the early 90s.
“They dress the same, they act the same, they even f**k the same…”
She owns her complexities and her shortcomings, because in all her messiness she’s the original, not the follower.
Olympia embodies the right to be a divinely flawed human, free to do what you want and dress how you want, plus its just so much more fun to shake up the status quo.
She’s the star of the show in purple, pink, black and white….
She’s…
