Venus, avant et après

So, these are via Cup of Jo but I had to repost them.  They were done to show famous depictions of Venus if she were "photoshopped" to fit today's mainstream standards.  Obviously not hating on slender girls--but here's to some booty, am I right?!  Many more here

There is no reason for these spots for the Grammy's to be as good as they are:

Props to the designers of these things, seriously--like, the Bon Iver should be extended as a music video at least!

Happy Valentine's!

     Valentine's Day has always seemed like a holiday that is more fun to observe without any commitment to participation.  After all, how can any "grown-up" form of the holiday compare to the thrill of those spent in grade school unceremoniously exchanging valentines picked from the many cartoon-character-branded drugstore versions.  These were always carefully chosen weighing popularity of character over the risk of choosing the same one as all of your classmates--only to find the next day that 3/4's of the other girls in your class also selected the Lisa Frank set.  

     Too bad we still don't tape little paper bags decorated with hearts to our desks in class, particularly considering how much more important asserting our pop-culture preferences is to our adult identities.  Just think how effective these would be:

       All the while you lit your streets for me,

      I cursed the pavement that I walked.


     All the while you loaned your nights to me,
     I was unable to forget. . . .

Just saw the Madonna half-time show. . .

. . .it was weird.  She's too old.  


BUT, how does MIA continue to be so cool?  She has a baby?!  She shouldn't be allowed.  Now I have to go watch this on repeat for the next 6 hours.

The best thing about Scott Schumann is how ridiculously far he takes things. . .

These gifs made with old stereographs* are so intriguing!  What an interesting way that something as weirdly niche and irrelevant as a gif can be coupled with a correlating oddity of media from a century ago. Though they are a little vertigo-inducing to look at. . .

Main corridor, White House. 1859?-1910?

 Bicycle Parade (Safety.), Rochester, N.Y [ca. 1895] [1860?-1900?]

L. A. W., bicycle race, ordinary, the finish. 1865?-1880? 1890

More info for the curious here.  You can even make your own, if you're so inclined!
