TANK GIRL

She’s the Post-Apocalyptic PIN UP with a bad-a$$ attitude. She does what she wants, where she wants, who she wants, and takes what she wants and doesn’t apologize to anybody. She has had crap happen to her and never let’s it stop her from being who she is, smart mouthed and sassy, geeky and trashy. G-d I F*n love this grrl!

Zippo lighters from American soldiers who fought in the Vietnam war.

This is really powerful and thoughtful, though (and perhaps because) it is very upsetting. It captures the different personalities of soldiers, yet it’s united through not just the theme and medium but by the omnipresent sense of someone trying to outwardly accept a premature death. Some men accept it with anger, others with humor, a facade of ambivalence, some with tragic romance, some very emotionlessly. It’s a horrifying, simple way of representing the psychology of a Vietnam soldier; even if he physically survives the war, some light, some flame within him is killed the minute he enters combat.
