garance doré: une fille comme moi

Garance Doré usually writes in French, so she could be a horrible (or worse, lackluster) writer. But she's hella good when she posts in English, so I'm pretty sure she's beautiful, funny, and an extremely talented photographer and illustrator.*

*This is also known as the "Do I kill her or kidnap her and keep her under my bed in a box and feed her M&M's?" conundrum. Most women are familiar with it.

"Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1834-1919) was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species and mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms."
