Of all the great inventions bestowed on us by this modern age, surely the finest among them must be FaceApp. Seriously, what were we doing before we had the ability to run our own faces—and a million random images—through a gender-swap filter?

That all changed in the course of minutes, after a user simply known as Mia gave us this penetrating image to ponder. Known simply as “Marsha,” tthis picture of girl Eminem has taken the Internet by storm in a matter of hours. And it’s no wonder why. Is this the woman of our dreams? Where did she come from? Where did she go? Why wasn’t she the star of 8 Mile? How does she feel about mom’s spaghetti?
Perhaps more importantly, why is she giving Chloe Sevigny in Boys Don’t Cry?

Marsha, Feminem, Madame Mathers…a rose by any other name would smell as sweet!
The journey from Marshall to Mother is a steep climb, but it’s worth the effort.
Just remember that there’s a better world out there, one where Eminem is an A24 e-girl sucking on an Elfbar.
Don’t dream it, be it.
