Kristen Stewart covers the Spring edition of Wonderland Magazine. The editorial was shot by Hedi Slimane. I kind of think Slimane is overrated as a photographer – he almost always does black & white, girls are always dressed as tomboys, and there’s usually very little “spark”. Especially here with K-Stew – the only spark is her lighter as she sparks up another cigarette. So hardcore, K-Stew! Her Wonderland interview isn’t wildly offensive, which is a nice change of pace. She talks about feminism and it’s all well and good. And then she chats about her future art projects and I laughed. Sorry, girl. Some highlights:

Reverse-Feminism: “It’s silly to play the devil’s advocate when having a conversation about female roles in Hollywood, because then you’re doing this “reverse feminism” thing that has become weirdly trendy recently.”

Generational feminism: “I feel like some girls around my age are less inclined to say, ‘Of course I’m a feminist, and of course I believe in equal rights for men and women’, because there are implications that go along with the word feminist that they feel are too in-your-face or aggressive. A lot of girls nowadays are like, ‘Eww, I’m not like that’. They don’t get that there’s no one particular way you have to be in order to stand for all of the things feminism stands for.’

Her short film about water: “I wrote a sick short film that I’m really proud of. It’s more abstract rather than super-narrative. It’s like a poem; it’s about water. People ask, ‘Why not just direct a feature?’ But I want to play around first. I want to have experience. I think the first thing I’m going to make will live in the in-between moments.”

“It’s like a poem; it’s about water” is going to be my new go-to answer for everything. You don’t get me. You don’t understand my vision. This post is like a poem. It’s about water. My life is like a poem. It’s about water. And yes, of course K-Stew is not interested in “super-narrative.” She made a short film about one perfect water drop. It’s going to be such a hit at the Hipsters-Only Short Film Garage Band Festival.

As for the feminism stuff, I think she’s dead-on and I hope her words reach some of her younger fans. How is it that Kristen Stewart has a more coherent take on modern feminism than Kaley Cuoco?
