We’re all for creativity here at ViralNova, and we like to celebrate everyone’s artistic expression. After all, that’s what makes the world go ’round. We also love autumn, the season of Halloween, crunchy leaves, and pumpkin spice everything. Combine the two, and you can get some awesome seasonal fashions and crafts perfect for welcoming the chilly weather and changing leaves.


And then sometimes, you get these.


We’ll be the first to say that everyone here gets a gold star for effort and that there is some serious skill behind these items. But that’s not stopping the cloud of befuddlement over us while we take in these autumnal fashions we found on Etsy, everyone’s favorite crafting site.

This Woman"s Controversial Self-Portraits Will Change The World And How You See It.

I used to think that if you’ve seen one selfie, you’ve probably seen them all. Then, I found this series of photos Finnish photographer Iiu Susiraja took, which captured the Internet in a web of curiosity. From making a statement on culture, to rejecting society’s labels on “fat” women, these photos made me realize how people are subjected to gross judgement and dissection without a second thought.



When asked why she made these photos, Iiu responded (with broken English): “‘I photograph me because it is the subject I certainly know the best.”

I understand the point she’s trying to make with the photos. I also find a few of them to be a bit strange. Perhaps that’s the point. If art was truly meant to be 100% understood, we would solve all of life’s mysteries (and put a whole slew of art critics out of work).
