I am watching American Horror Story and I can't tell if it's cheese camp or Ass. Perplexing. It's got some very interesting things happening but the relationship drama is so over the top that it makes me feel like a total alien. I'm having fun though lol and maybe that's all that matters

How did you get that stunning shot? It could be an expensive Japanese fabric (the image, not the insect).
