sigh!

This semester is murder.

More fun with Urban Outfitters

Is this part of some kind of Halloween costume!??

I can only assume they chose a sheer nude hose to enhance the illusion of hair sprouting along the backs of the legs.

Buy ‘em here!

And don’t forget these!

tension!

I’m a rubber-band ball of stress right now trying to get ready for the new semester– hence my absence.  In the meanwhile, enjoy this picture from Mociun’s new fall collection, since I don’t have time to.

Paulinus

Our 100th post!

(From Fataculture and around the net.)

“…look over there!” “Where?” “There…”

“Look over there! (where? )
There’s a lady that I used to know”

“Will you just take a look over there? (Where?)  There.

Is she tryin’ to get outta that clitares?”

Ha ha.

slouch

I wish I could pull this sort of thing off.  As it stands, I will never start dressing like an adult.

I also wish the last model wasn’t making that face.  She looks like she just smack-talked someone’s mother.

White Panther Girlfriend

Someone needs to start a blog dedicated wholly to domestic cat wounds.  I’m not gonna do it, but someone should.  Well, maybe next time Madeline gives me (or Andy) a nice, good one.

Photos by Jamie Campbell.  He calls his cat, Odette, “White Panther Girlfriend.” This is an excellent name.  It’s also the name of his new book of photography.

I leuve Deneuve

Okay, that’s not Catherine Deneuve, it’s Rosamund Pike making an eerily authentic Deneuve-face .  EERILY.  I really did think it was Deneuve at first, magically de-aged 30 years (which I wouldn’t put past her).  Anyway, this is clearly a reference to Belle de jour:

The top (not-Deneuve) image is from An Education.  Peter Sarsgaard is in this.  Behold:

Ninety-five percent of Peter Sarsgaard movies require Peter Sarsgaard to be creepy.  However, Peter Sarsgaard is hot in one-hundred percent of movies.  This, however.  This is just creepy.  I don’t know why– because he looks forty?  Because he doesn’t sound exactly like John Malkovich in this one?  I gather that half the point of this role is for him to look old and creepy, but still.  Boner-broken.

she who is eaten death returning

“The woman who presents herself to the spectator as a ‘picture’ forever arranged is, for the contemplative mind, the chiefest danger.  Sometimes one meets a woman who is beast turning human.  Such a person’s every movement will reduce to an image of a forgotten experience; a mirage of an eternal wedding cast on the racial memory; as insupportable joy, as would be the vision of an eland coming down an aisle of trees, chapleted with orange blossoms and bridal veil, a hoof raised in the economy of fear, stepping in the trepidation of flesh that will become myth; as a unicorn is neither man nor beast deprived, but human hunger pressing its breast to its prey.

Such a woman is the infected carrier of the past: before her the structure of our head and jaws ache– we feel that we could eat her, she who is eaten death returning, for only then do we put our face close to the blood on the lips of our forefathers.”
