NYTimes | Funny how? →
Meant to post this weeks ago — great analysis of Obama’s sense of humor, which I think is a big part of his appeal to “my generation.” Also a lot of room for commentary on things like absurdity and the self-awareness of “modern liberal Americans” and a lot of other stuff I could put in hesitancy/irony quotes. There’s an absurdist quality to the president’s less...

Fading Ad Blog →
There’s always someone with a dedicated obsession to any passing interest you may have, as is the case with the Fading Ad blog, sent to me in response to my post last week on ads painted on the sides of buildings here in NYC.  So in case you wanted a daily dose of old painted advertisements from around the world, well, here you go.

NY Mag | The Cut | Unisex Jeans →
NYMag…. how is this news?  I’d say 75% of the pants I own aren’t female-specific… Did we really just discover Cheap Monday now, and have we been oblivious to American Apparel slim slacks (which fit me better than any pants I’ve ever owned) for the past four years? How is it that their writers are unaware of, say, APC New Standards, Acne Mics, or most  Nudies?  Did you...

Vanity Fair | The Importance of Being Oscar →
“…when I arrived in Madrid from the Dominican Republic, where I was born, I was told, ‘Listen, guy, if you want to go out with us, you must learn how to dress…. Do you know why I almost always wear a tie? I have this complex that if I walk into a place wearing a colorful shirt someone will stop me and say, ‘I’m sorry, but the Latin band comes through the other door.’” John Heilpern...

Teaching children that domestic violence is bad... →
mitfordesque: Words can hardly express how much rage this piece in today’s Daily Mail has caused me. Throughout today I’ve seen a number of disgusted Tweets from people who, like me, just can’t believe what… this (the article blogged about above) combined with Lady Gaga’s horrifying misunderstanding of the term ‘feminism’ (kids, here’s a totally radical concept: I’m...
