TooMuchPatentLeather: When is Sex and Fashion Too Much?

What is TooMuchPatentLeather?

My name is Alex and this blog is more of a diary or mood board, expressing my own original thoughts about fashion, beauty, art and what exactly is too much. The title of this blog is like my personal style in that it is ironic- there can never be too much patent leather. Fashion is more than self expression or art, it is a form of communication and this page will be committed to communicating both simple and elaborate conceptual ideas and also opinions. Whenever I place pictures of myself I am not using professional photography tools. I do not own or claim property on any images. Feel free to leave a comment expressing your own opinions and constructive criticism. Thanks for reading!

Personally being a person that would rather walk around in a tent then a see-through figure showing ensemble, I admire the confidence and pure sexuality throughout this images. Sometimes there is a grittiness to sexuality, but perhaps we should move away from traditional viewpoints that sexuality is something to be ashamed of, or even evil. The videos are essential to feeling (or getting in) the mood. Thanks for reading!
