Russian makeup artist Elya Bulochka is serving fish in her latest marine-themed photo shoots – but its not the kind you THINK! Elya recently Instagrammed a photo of herself holding a baggie of newly purchased fish from the pet store with the caption: “Guess what I’m going to be wearing today?” Later she posted pics post of models in mermaid makeup with dead angelfish, neon tetra and other small fish glued to their faces. When her followers asked if the fish were real and she confirmed they were “already dead. Same as in your dining plates.”
That didn’t sit well with her followers: “Why kill the fish?” wailed one former fan. And: “Animals are not things, why is this so difficult to understand.”
“Today one dead fish,” still another wrote. “tomorrow someone’s finger. Disgusted that all this is referred to as the art of makeup.”
But Elya stood her ground. “Before writing the comments, remember when you ate your last meat,” she wrote. “Only your meat has nerve endings and feels pain. Fish do not feel.”
She later took down the pics, only to put up another one a couple of days later – an image of a model’s face covered in canned sardines. “Now I want to play you in a game of “double standards,” she wrote. “Spot 10 differences.”
What do you think? How far is too far when it comes to ART? And is it hypocritical to eat fish but not wear them? (via Oddity Central and Daily Mail)
