sexy bitches

a pitbull is the best accessory a girl can have. with dualing origins as nanny dogs and fighting dogs, they aren't the easiest jewels to wear, but if you can get and keep a good one, you'll be the flyest girl on the block. they also keep away wimpy men and attract not-so-wimpy ones - bonus! these Victorian ladies knew that.

what i got myself for christmas

it killed my first school project idea, but is already a long time coming: congrats to Amelia Klem Osterund!



imagine a new year where our rulers were less, um, uptight.

i can only take credit for the hat.

i know you think you're the queen of the underground

but these ladies have you beat.





see more at the City Reliquary and this lovely slideshow

ponyxpress is one of the best all-photo-no-text art/fashion/sex blogs out there: monothematic images of beauty and scum and beauty and scum and beauty -- and naked chicks -- it just doesn't get old somehow.

Olive Oatman

was a Mormon teen captured by Yavapais, traded to Mohaves, and retraded back to Whites (arguably not of her own desire). existing in the mid-to-late 1800's as a tribally tattooed lady, she lived in Detroit for a few years! The Blue Tattoo, a new book by Margot Mifflin (author of Bodies of Subversion: A Secret History of Women and Tattoo) is an engaging read of her life and legend.

yes, Pink

i like Pink. always have. really do. she's a thick white girl who has kept her oversized nose ring and femipop consistent. in the name of trying to drink less, i applaud her song and style.

Chelsea girl?

riding the L this weekend i noticed a lot of very pretty girls with very pretty half-shaved heads. then i opened Self-Service and saw model Alice Dellas:



i like the dramatic asymmetry, especially with long hair. and i like it because it's punky,
