Me:….and so that’s why an allegory can’t really be non-fiction
Friend: But how do you know it’s an allegory?

Um yeah. She was one of the main inspirations for my ba thesis. I used these pictures as visual research in my paper. NO LIE.
JEALOUS. SO SO JEALOUS. Was your BA ”On Hotness?”
Now I want to do a “creative project” for ISHUMA and just make a collage of people I think are attractive....

surisburnbook:
I am concerned that if Haven Warren (Jessica Alba’s new baby) and Penelope Athena Richmond (Tina Fey’s) ever become friends, there will be trouble. Born only three days apart and with names like these, I’m worried they could end up starting a Renaissance fair or a candle store or a witch coven.

This is Miss University of Chicago 1954, Janice Porter. Longtime Of Another Fashion followers might recall that I posted another photo of the beauty queen a few months ago. You can see that one here.

Speaking of heteronormativity
chrismohney:
Can I register a small, non-judgey grammar objection to this term? Despite its relatively recent coinage and re-minting into even more recent currency, it’s a bad construction. A literal definition of its Latin roots would be “making the different normal,” but its intended definition is about heterosexuality, not just hetero-ness generally. In fact a better (or, more literal)...

You Know It's Working If It Hurts
I took an aerial silks class yesterday and it was amazing. My arms and lower abs are screaming at me, and I am dismayed/disappointed by the state I have let my body get to (but what a delicious state it has been!) but it was, ugh I am going to say “invigorating” but I’m not going to like it. But the class was awesome, and now I am weighing rugby or circus for fall. I don’t...

The Best Things In The World

Finally removing all the shit from your room that has piled on the floor and you say ‘oh look I put the underwear in the underwear DRAWER’ and then thinking you have accomplished something like not having your room look like a crime scene. Seriously, your room looks like a crime scene where Horatio from CSI is going to be all ‘looks like this pile of laundry is a pile of DEAD GIRL’...

– Mark Greif, from his essay “Cavell as Educator” in the new issue of n+1. I quote this part because, you know, bookstore blog, but mostly I want you to buy the issue (we’ve got it) and read the essay, which is actually, in unexpected ways, deeply moving. (via mcnallyjackson)

That is even better if possible. I want everyone to know that from now on my personal canon is that Uncle Jess(i)e has always been in the Beach Boys, he just looked different/invisible.

carnivaloftherandom:
I’m going to talk about poverty for a minute.
I’ll say up front, these young people are not accomplishing anything except destruction and further marginalization of the circumstances they live in.
Why am I blogging about this again? Because there are conversations I’ve had and questions that have come up, and the biggest disconnect seems to be, “I would never do that,”...
