It’s common knowledge that the female of the species have bedrooms that lean more towards the landfill site aesthetic. It’s no biggie, it’s just the consequences of liking loads of stuff and subsequently obtaining it to keep. Anyway, photographer Maya Fuhr was commissioned by Vice to photograph messy ladies with very messy rooms for a series entitled Garbage Girls. What’s nice about these shots is not just the sheer amount of crap littered around their bedrooms, but the deadpan “give a shit” looks from the girls themselves. Chastise us all you want, but cleaning is boring and girls rule! Check out more of Maya’s really, really great photography on her site.
