I listed a whole slew of leather on my Etsy recently, I thought top down photos looked neat and tidy.
treekisser asked: Re: Your comment about our petition. First, the NY salon wasn't selling one single bikini. They were waxing women and then replacing the hair with fox fur. The biggest waste of animals' lives I've ever seen. And with regards to our petition, it WILL mean a hell of a lot when they give up fur, because INTERMIX is a nationally revered source of fashion inspiration. If they declare the trend unfashionable, others will follow. It's a big deal.
THAT’S A THING!? Sorry, when that text said “bikini” I assumed they were selling a fur bikini, not turning a beaver into a fox. That’s just ridiculous and the fact that they are using faux fur doesn’t make it any better. It shouldn’t be allowed, full stop. If I ever was surprised by something like that, that chick would be, for lack of a better term, road kill.
My point is not whether or not using fur is wrong (I think it is disgusting), it is that that trumpeting the success of a petition for a relatively small, unknown …ahem…procedure… for “a salon in NY” is a lot different than challenging a larger beast. Petitions just don’t scale well. Petitions aren’t what won the civil rights movement or woman’s suffrage.
That is all.
I found my spirit animal. I’ve always had an interest in industrial photography and human kind’s impact on their surroundings. The other day, Netflix recommended Manufactured Landscapes as something I would be interested in. To be honest, it is a rather slow moving documentary about this guy, Edward Burtynsky, taking photos of stuff around the world. There really isn’t much to it. He intentionally doesn’t imbue the film with any bias, nor does he try to sway your opinion. There isn’t much of a climax, maybe some heated (yet polite) exchange at a Chinese coal plant, and that only took my heart rate up a few bpm.
Truthfully, though, every photo that was shown, every location that was visited, every idea he had, reinvigorated my (incredibly lacking) interest in capturing photographs. It was a completely worthwhile eighty six minutes for me, and while your experiences may vary (especially if you like looking at photographs of emaciated models in awkward positions) it is still worth a watch.
This is just missing a wolf or three howling at the outerspaceness.

INTERMIX sold and promoted a whole lotta fox fur this fall/winter. Whether the foxes were raised on fur farms or trapped in the wild, cruelty is inherent & widespread in this bloody, outdated industry.
If we don’t stop them soon, they’ll begin killing for next season. Time is running out.
Please sign & share our petition asking INTERMIX to stop selling fur! We’ve gained over 15,000 signatures this week, now we just need you to help us save lives!
(Need proof that petitions work? Just today, a NY salon promised to go faux after national outrage and a Change.org petition!)
I’m reposting this sans photos, because this really has nothing to do about anyone’s stance on fur, but everything to do with their last line:
OMG GUISE!!! GUISE!!! HELLO??? A NY SALON IS GOING FAUX DUE TO A PETITION!!! THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING GUISE!!!
-_-
They were selling…one…bikini…with…fur…
One…
EPIC WIN FOR CHANGE.ORG AND PETA!

Right about the time artists became more skilled, observant, dextrous, and their tools became more precise than hafted flint chisels maybe?
Bodies are bodies, and whether you know it, like it, or not; Someone out there thinks that you’ve got the hottest arse they’ve ever ever seen.
Even hotter than that time they accidentally had the chicken & jalapeño sausage sandwich for lunch vs. the chicken apple sausage sandwich…
They literally think the sun shines out of your arse (not just those sausages you accidentally ordered).
Whatever, either way, there’s absolutely someone out there that loves you for you, finds you incredibly interesting, incredibly attractive, wants nothing more than to get hot and nasty with you… And probably doesn’t give a flying fuck about the history of art.
Just saying…
OH HEY GUYS LOOK AT THOSE IMAGES OF WOMEN, AND THEN LOOK AT THOSE IMAGES OF IDOLIZED SIGNS OF FERTILITY: AKA “POP ME OUT A FUCKING BOY — I SHALL MAKE YOU HAVE GOOD BIRTHING HIPS AND HUGE MILKING TITS”
Seriously though. You are comparing a neolithic mindset where you need fucking kids to survive so the woman better have big fucking hips to pop out all of your fucking kids and big fucking titties to feed all your fucking kids because, who knows when you’ll have some raw tiger flesh for them — to a post/Renaissance study of the body / portraiture.
And beyond that, as Keir pointed out, it was all about the evolution of an art form, and I really don’t the Leonardo was focusing on Mona Lisa popping out his strapping men children for the rest of her life.
Let’s get educated before we put some text on top of images we don’t understand to try to perpetuate an agenda that (through reasons stated by Keir) is completely unnecessary.
Stay comfortable my friend.

“Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid. We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money. States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets. And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down. Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that. Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly. Some use better technology. The point is, it’s possible. So let me put colleges and universities on notice: If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.
Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” - President Obama

I thought facebook was rolling out the new Timeline. I did not know it was opt in.
I’ve been waiting for it for quite some time.
Back to the cave!
Ok, maybe initial impression does not translate perfectly to actual comparison.
Revealing moments of the morning: talking about the meth documentary and saying “Wow, that stuff really messes you up,” and walking away clutching my giant cup of coffee, telling myself I don’t have a problem.
Apparently Jareth the Goblin King has to take public transportation like the rest of us, who knew.

Please tell me the subway car started singing and dancing to Magic Dance.
You remind me of the babe!
