We're doing this shoot for school, and we had to drive out to a little suburb called Alvin... they still have confederate flags out there.<br /><br />Creepy, but this is on the periphery of civilization. You'll never meet these people in real life.Princess Malyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029684678435620684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461177705040653049.post-59859574421495485282010-09-20T03:07:09.537-07:002010-09-20T03:07:09.537-07:00I've not heard of that book, sounds like I sho...I've not heard of that book, sounds like I should check it out. Yeah I think Sheffield, England is a bit too provincial and small minded- it's close to Manchester, heard of that? I don't know how big Houston is, but it's probably twice the size of Sheffield and the bigger the city, the more tolerant people are of weirdness...vienna famoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638247595298323673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461177705040653049.post-32511840326059211762010-09-19T19:55:37.429-07:002010-09-19T19:55:37.429-07:00When I first saw that picture of the dude with the...When I first saw that picture of the dude with the beard, I was all "thats what I did this summer!" Meaning, the beard. I was growing it out for a burn I was going to, but decided against it when I found out I could see Ariel and WaVVes on the same ticket for the same price.<br /><br />I mean, I'll rock a suit every once and a while, but I tend to do it androgynous, with really bright colors. I mean, I probably COULD do a kick ass Nick Cave (Ariel can), but something about ridiculous shoulder pads sucks the manliness right out of me.<br /><br />But pastels? Dude, stick with white. And vests are purely a manly man'sm'n style. They kick ass, but if you're just going to be effeminate all the time my advice would be to avoid them.<br /><br />Only suggestions, of course.Princess Malyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029684678435620684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461177705040653049.post-80477894950063520602010-09-19T19:48:58.024-07:002010-09-19T19:48:58.024-07:00I could bitch about how MGMT are pretenders to the...I could bitch about how MGMT are pretenders to the throne and Chairlift is actually worse than a one-hit wonder because all of their other songs are just fucking horrible, but what I really want to say is your line "Originality is dead, long live variations on a theme" sums up the way I'm beginning to describe hauntology to people now. Or, as you said it, the future.<br /><br />Make no mistake though, Ariel Pink trounces all these posers. You've seen him, so I shouldn't need to tell you. In the words of my friend Luis, who I took to see him when he knew next to nothing about Ariel, "these guys are the real deal."Princess Malyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029684678435620684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461177705040653049.post-44345422369066890812010-09-19T19:38:40.224-07:002010-09-19T19:38:40.224-07:00Oh masculinity, what a joke you are.
Have you eve...Oh masculinity, what a joke you are.<br /><br />Have you ever read Maddox's book? Alphabet of Manliness? It's awesome. This post feels like the opposite of the D and U chapters of that book. D being "Dump" and U being "Urinal Etiquette."<br /><br />Of course, rules are meant to be broken, and I've had a few reluctant and awkward conversations with drunk people in a bathroom.<br /><br />Also, I don't know where you are that messing with your hair is considered faggy, but I'll sometimes use the mirror to reapply lipstick and no one ever gives me any beef. Because Houston is more open minded than... what? England?<br /><br />I'm an american, I don't know where Sheffield is.Princess Malyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029684678435620684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4461177705040653049.post-51661920578724502282008-09-05T11:44:00.000-07:002008-09-05T11:44:00.000-07:00Wow -- what a fab, insightful, beautifully written...Wow -- what a fab, insightful, beautifully written and elegantly phrased blog!
