USA Today | 'Flocking' behavior lands on social... →

clickclickdrone:
I know nothing of Mark Fast’s work, but perusing his collection, his specialty seems to be in bodycon, baring minis. Something I’d never wear, of course, due to a pretty long history of body hangups (oh, the plight of the 5’8 size 4-6).

They’ve managed a few myopic analyses about gender and money and whatnot, but there’s a whole nifty section on the interpersonal aspect of all...

I am embarrassed to be affiliated with the music biz when they do crazy shit like try to charge royalties for :30 iTunes preview clips. Its just wrong, and Gizmodo put it best:
