Bronson: "Brand Me"

Subculture: New Wave/Romanticism, cross with more contemporary Indie Music movement.

New Romanticism; peaked in the UK during the 1980's, developing in London nightclubs and associated with numerous UK based bands during the 80's. The fashion culture of New Romanticism Movement reflects the tempestuous and dramatic style of the artists of 18th and 19th century Romanticism.

Totems-Rabbit, Fox and/or Elephant Shrew

(Interesting Facts:The Elephant Shrew: Elephant shrews are not, in fact, shrews. Recent evidence suggests that they are more closely related to a group of African mammals that includes hyraxes, elephants, sea cows, aardvarks, golden moles, and tenrecs. Elephant shrews take their name from their long pointed head and very long, mobile, trunk-like nose. Long, slim legs and characteristic hunchbacked posture give them the appearance of a miniature antelope or perhaps a tiny pig with a long tail. A gland on the underside of the tail produces a strong scent used to mark territories. This musky smell apparently serves as a deterrent against many carnivores. The checkered elephant shrew is a swift runner, and can make leaps of almost 3 feet. Its keen senses of sight, hearing and smell alert it quickly to danger.-and it is SO CUTE!!)
