DON’T DIE SELF-MUMMIFY! 5 EASY STEPS TO IMMORTALIZATION You’re just wasting time here. You could be so much more productive in the afterlife! Three dozen Buddhist monks can’t be wrong. Step 1     Preparation Set aside 2000 days for your transition. This is a “slowly, but surely” process. Inform family and friends of your new decision. Ask them for help, you will be pleasantly surprised when you see just how many people will support your new direction in life. Be sure to sit down with your boss! Let him or her know that you will be taking a leave of absence and you hope they will consider having you back after your  personal matters are attended to. This is just in the rare case that it doesn’t work….There’s nothing worse than wasting 2 plus years of your time only to end up really hungry and without a job. Step 2       The South Beach Diet Remove ALL fat from your body. (No cutting!) A friend recommends  “Beyonce’s Master Cleanse Diet ” and a couple of nuts and seeds here and there. This will take time, maybe 1000 days, but remember: no pain no gain. At this point you should stop, step back, and reconsider. Why do [...]

it’s a sight to behold and someone must survive

“But darkness will come, but darkness will come For sure, it’s gonna come And the breast on her chest is where I take my rest Is where I have my fun, is where I have my fun And one long red nail that shoots from her toe Is tickling my blood and shifting its flow And each strand of her hair is really insect eyes” -Devendra Banhart sight to behold

grunge is dead \/\/ a treatise on “grunge” performance

Grunge is dead. My grandmother is dead. Jackson Pollock is dead. The implications are as follows: Music that was labeled "grunge" can never again be made, my grandmother will never again pinch my cheek, and there will be no new works of art by Jackson Pollock. This is as it should be.

Jim Morrison serves as President and C.E.O. of Sexy Hair. Under his leadership, the company increased revenue by $20 million, launched in over 10 countries, and entered into the world of high-profile consumer advertising.  Morrison is also credited for getting the Sexy Hair brand name out by using celebrity advertising.  Using mostly music industry stars in their ads, for better or worse Sexy Hair has made a definite impact in the beauty industry.  American Idol alums Katherine McPhee and Kellie Pickler have both been in numerous Sexy Hair ads. While his name may bring to mind images of drug induced rock ‘n’ roll, this Jim Morrison is a far cry from the rock legend. Using highly airbrushed images of reality TV pop stars to market Sexy Hair as a rock ‘n’ roll beauty brand, Jim has created a line of products that most hair stylists wouldn’t  be caught DEAD using. Although the watered-down pseudo-rockstar look and name of the brand may be hard for some people to stomach, Jim has moved Sexy Hair into a new and interesting market.  It was only a matter of time before a hair product line jumped on board the reality TV bandwagon.  Morrison was [...]

that day

That day I was sleepy, all throughout work, into my lunch break. I took my usual vigil outside, by the pond, while reading the current issue of The New Yorker. There were metal benches arranged around the place where the pond erupted back on itself in mild geysers, and the wind sometimes carried the delicious spray back onto the benches, and anyone sitting on them. The red brick was wet there, cumulative testimony to the accidental hydration wrought by the breeze. I was sleepy again because of the previous night’s repeat of my occasional insomnia, and so I was drinking a coke. I plunked the near-empty can on the small table next to the bench, which a particularly upstart gust sought at once to upset and tip over. And nearly a hair’s breadth from reflexively leaning forward to still the tottering can, that day the thought, like a silent stranger, stole into my head: “I want to still this tottering thing because I am still afraid of death.”

dahranjelo’s digest \/\/ pukpuk never made it out alive

PUKPUK, Peru Punks, Stargazers, Disco Geishas and Space Angels. We are living in the future that Walter van Beirendonck  kissed over 16 years ago.  The Wild & Lethal Trash site with PUKPUK had my attention for hours that turned to days. What was I doing spending so much time at his site? Playing his video game Space Race. Turn ON the monitor and twist the dial. It’s not  easy fashion but  there is technique or something more abstract. This bear and Antwerp design genius continues and will always be followed. Walter is one of the Belgian Antwerp Six comprised of Dirk van Saene, Dries van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Marina Yee, and Dirk Bikkembergs, who all graduated from the Royal Arts Academy from 1980-82. He used fabrics developed by the very latest technologies in violently contrasting colors. He produced clothes that were full of erotic and sadomasochistic references, touched with a caustic adolescent humor. His highly confrontational approach relates to a resurgence of anti-fashion, but this time an anti-fashion with nothing in the least orientalist in its origins, instead based on science fiction that inspired displays of high-spirited provocation.

gonna wash that grey right into your hair

From women who go grey naturally to those that are coloring it, silver-hued locks are becoming a fashion scene staple. Will women be going to the salon and asking for “grey-lights” instead of high-lights?  Will you have to worry about your non-grey roots coming in?  Although I don’t see this happening in the near future, there definitely seems to be a silver-haired trend going on.  Daphne Selfe, the oldest working model in the UK,  has been seen in campaigns ranging from Dolce & Gabbana to Gap.  Most recently she modeled at London Fashion Week Spring 2010 for the clothing line Sykes. Carmen Dell’Orefice is also no stranger to the fashion world.  She has been modeling since her debut in Vogue magazine at the age of 15, but became more of a main stream name later in her career. After her hair turned grey.  She can be seen in Rolex ads world wide. One of the younger woman in the naturally grey group is super model Kristen McMenamy.  Recently, Italian Vogue dedicated over 31 pages to this grey-haired beauty.  The title says it all…”The Legend” Now of course the younger generation wants to get in on the trend.  Both pop star P!nk [...]

Everyone is a slave. You, me, your boss, your spouse, your kids, your parents, your senator, your president… everyone. I don’t simply mean "slaves" to physical laws, to market forces, to demographics, to statistics, to nature, to nurture, to the good opinion of our fellows: I mean we’re all slaves, every last one of us, in the most basic of all possible ways, and our eyes are playing tricks on us when in fact, every cat in the dark is grey.
