Angela FAQ: What is X-urbia?

Ah! The little known and very unpopular Angela FAQ.

Today, I shall answer the question that many people have been asking me:

Why is my alias X-urbia?

1) It's uncommon and I don't run into the danger of being called Angelbear2011
2) It is named after my favorite editorial of all time

X-urbia
Photographer: Steven Klein
Magazine: W Mag, 2007
Models: Georgia Frost and Daisy Lowe

Nothing about this editorial makes logical sense
It's slightly maniacal
The women wear clown wigs, cheerios are swallowed like pills and there's a plume of blood-red smoke blowing out of a careening plane.

It's about alienation and monotony.
It's about creating a world where shopping carts and cheerios are made to look out of place but smoking through a face covered with metal stickers is the most natural thing in the world.

It's about being in your own world and doing whatever you like in it
