As these ladies remind us,
it's not what you wear,
but how you wear it.

Matron's Day Out: The T-Shirt

With the exception of tweaking the hem of Matron's dress (and deciding on the regular "light correct" vs. more dramatic inverted trees and shrubbery in the background), I think this is the final version of the tee.

A Place For Everything, And Everything In It's Place

Being a symmetry/spacial balance obsessed compulsive thrifter who's currently living in a rather small attic leaves me the ideal audience for Michael Johansson's sculptures, which I find both captivating in detail and quietly reassuring en masse.

Riverdale & Gomorrah

Wow.

Archie goes gay.

From the press release:


"The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie's hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books," said Archie Comics Co-CEO Jon Goldwater in an official press release.


In a story titled "Isn't it Bromantic?" Keller makes waves as the new kid in town by besting Jughead in an eating contest. From there he gains the attention of boy-crazy Veronica, who is crushing so hard that she's ready to leave Archie to Betty. When Jughead points out her interest, Kevin's up front about the fact that he's gay and spends the rest of the issue introducing himself to the rest of the gang while trying to let a clueless Veronica down easy, much to Jughead's amusement.


An advance preview also reveals that Kevin is a burgeoning journalist with a penchant for comic books, meaning Chuck Clayton's Riverdale High press coverage could be set for a serious spike."

Ultrasumo!

With the exception of the oh so forgettable song accompanying it, I quite like this Duracel Ultra commercial (and what a clever way to bump up their bunny iconography).
