Veckans läsning
12 years ago
Jag är lite trött efter en kväll i Venice med Softy och bjussar därför på Veckans läsning.
En jäkligt bra text om American Apparels Dov Charney och fotografen Terry Richardsons svinerier.
"The constant sexualization of female images in magazines like Vice, the AA ads, and Terry Richardson’s photography created a false binary; if you couldn’t tolerate it, you must be a square. To be offended was to condemn sexual freedom entirely, even if all you were offended by was that the nudity focused on pretty young women to the exclusion of everyone else."
Woman Imitates Self-Serious Male Writers With Cigarettes. (Vi låter rubriken tala för sig).
Skillnaden mellan New York och North Carolina.
"It takes an hour to fly from New York to North Carolina. It is a complete shock to the system. I slow down to a tenth of my speed and I still feel like I’m running. No one else seems to be moving at all. When I go into the airport bathroom it is empty and sterile and every toilet flushes."
Yo! I The New Yorker.
Och till slut en text om män som gillar vapen mer än kvinnor.
Allt detta illustreras med ett litet paket smör.
