Manko — SuicideGirl of the Day
Meet Manko, an English SuicideGirl who says she enjoys the smell of hair bleach and being mistaken for a transvestite.
Name: Manko
Location: United Kingdom
Occupation: Deconstructing reality
Into: People who have notes written on their hand in blue biro
Not into: That question “Who is the girl behind the image?”
Makes me happy: The smell of hair bleach, jinxing people on my blacklist and getting mistaken for a tranny
Makes me sad: That David Bowie ruined his fabulous Ziggy Stardust fangs in the States in the 80s
Five things I can’t live without: A handful of people and plane tickets to see them
I spend most of my free time: Dressing up, wallowing in self-obsession, excessively drinking, mocking things, making things, entertaining my alter ego, not being very nice, dreaming
