ReasonTV: We're the TSA and You Can Count on Us! [Video]

We’re the Transportation Security Administration. We’re working hard to make sure you enjoy a safe flight. And while we cannot apprehend every terrorist, you can count on us to do what we’re trained to do whenever there’s a security breach–overreact to tiny threats.

Overreact to tiny threats; ignore the big ones. That’s what we do, and we do it better than anyone.

10 Top Tips for 2010 - Volume I

Like musical tapas we are going to break these up into several tasty posts for your listening pleasure.

By pure coincidence the first two happen to hail from Manchester in the Northwest of England, consistently a breeding ground for the best in British music (I will return to this phenomenon in a later post).

1. Everything Everything – I’ll let them speak for themselves, except to say that the lead singer reminds me a little bit of a young Forrest Griffin (the UFC fighter)

2. Hurts

Firm believers in less is more, their myspace page is black and white with just the one song, but what a song. Not only do I want to listen to their music; I want to dress like them, I want to style my hair like them and I want to get an earring, I’ve got it bad.

enjoy!

2010: Welcome to Orwell’s World


John Pilger Accepts Sydney Peace Prize 2009

By John Pilger. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell described a superstate called Oceania, whose language of war inverted lies that “passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.’”

Barack Obama is the leader of a contemporary Oceania. In two speeches at the close of the decade, the Nobel Peace Prize winner affirmed that peace was no longer peace, but rather a permanent war that “extends well beyond Afghanistan and Pakistan” to “disorderly regions and diffuse enemies.” He called this “global security” and invited our gratitude. To the people of Afghanistan, which America has invaded and occupied, he said wittily: “We have no interest in occupying your country.” > more.

MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS

Meet Me in St. Louis
d. Vincente Minnelli / USA / 1944 / 113 mins
Viewed at: A3.03 @ UEA (Norwich, UK)

I had intended to write a piece here about the obsession with death and mortality displayed by the two younger Smith siblings – Tootie and Agnes – but I decided against it.

I thought, instead, that since a bunch of us had to sit through this clip five times during class, the rest of you out there can do it too…

Tootie…Tootie! Toooootie!

I want five hundred words on my desk by Monday.

Ultimate reality of Philosophy

“An individual respective very location is the present and the rest all the locations are of the deep of the past”

In this way; Ultimate reality of Philosophy is wonder of creation: Such as: No body shall be able to find out trace of present or future of any body and all shall take the idea about the matters of the past of all. Creator doesn’t know our present movement if her goal is another place of space yet big bang is omnivorous. Our universe is very early such at this events or moment, we are looking everything has creation yet same event or very moment, from the borders on the spiritual is nothing creation in the universe through that early or unopened or contracted. Big bang, evolution, gravitational world’s, time dimension or history of the universe or case or series of events or the structure of sketch of universe is the result from one site only such as own or from your location. From your location; you are a middle point in the universe and from my location; my brain is centre of the universe. Both places are same i.e. dark energy and big bang is on our home planet. Reflected power of brain is the result of present Universe or space-time and physics is the result in your life-time i.e. lifeless position is in the dark energy and on this place. We are looking huge universe yet that the case is between minimal. So on***

Preview: Day 2 of V Magazine's Size Issue

Tara Lynn by Sølve Sundsbø*

Last week, I showed you the preview of Crystal Renn’s editorial of V Magazine’s upcoming Size Issue. V Magazine are obviously trying to generate a lot of buzz, as Models.com have released yet another preview from the issue: Day 2: Curves Ahead by Sølve Sundsbø. (For the complete editorial and full size images, head to Models.com. All images are copyright V Magazine and respective photographers.)

As the name suggests, this editorial places much more emphasis on the curvy body. In my opinion, the fashion is secondary to the thighs, hips and rolls on display.

Candice Huffine by Sølve Sundsbø

While I am completely in love with the Day 1 editorial, I have a lot less love for this shoot. When a magazine like V attempts to display larger bodies as artworks in and of themselves, it always appears as though they are fighting their fashion instincts.

We all know that fashion magazines photoshop. A lot. Freckles, cellulite, shadows, uneven skin tone – anything that is perceived to be a flaw is mercilessly eliminated. However, in this shoot fat rolls, normally an obvious flaw to be removed, must be kept as a feature of the editorial.

So how does a photography team accept the inclusion of fat rolls and present a flawless fashion spread? By doing a really bad job on photoshop.

Candice Huffine and Tara Lynn by Sølve Sundsbø

I mean, look at that. That picture is ridiculous. Candice Huffine has a beautiful roll on her back, yet her back does not bulge in any way. Tara Lynn has some adorable belly chub, yet her stomach stops exactly at the waistband and there is no overhang. Fat doesn’t sit so conveniently in real life.

This editorial is trying so hard to present the ‘real’ body and yet the finished product looks disappointly fake.

*As an aside, that first image of Tara Lynn looks an awful lot like a number of fat softcore pictures I’ve seen. For example, this picture of erotic model that I featured on Hey, Fat Chick. I don’t know if it was deliberate but it sure is interesting…
