Unleash your inner Miss Havisham with these really odd “Butterfly Maidens” posters
September 5, 2012
I’m pretty sure Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb had these hanging up where he was sewing that bodysuit made from the skin of murdered women. “Pressed with real butterflies.” CREEPY. I’m not certain what sort of decor the Butterfly Maidens were intended to accentuate, but clearly they should be hung in a shuttered room, one with plentiful cobwebs and sheet-covered furniture.
Still, if you have a disturbed shut-in in your life and you just don’t know what to get them for Christmas…

Holy shit…Pressed with real butterflies? Grant Morrison had a Doom Patrol comic with this theme–Red Jack I think the villain’s name was. Thought he was the reincarnation of Jack the Ripper, kept butterflies pinned all over his house because he liked to see them suffer. I wonder if this ad is where he got the idea?
