My wonderful wonderful friend Tess agreed to model for me for a uni assignment and I’m so happy with the results (particularly as it was my first time using black and white film). Special guest appearance by her bird Nixon, who was surprisingly cooperative. Aren’t they both gorgeous??

Vampire Weekend // Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

As a young girl, Louis Vuitton
With your mother, on the sandy lawn
As a sophomore, with reggaeton
And the linens you’re sittin’ on

Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want to fuck?
Like you know I do
Like you know I do

This feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
Feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel

Can you stay up to see the dawn?
In the colors of Benetton

srsly:

You give me a gift? Bam! Thank-you note. You invite me somewhere? Pow! RSVP. You do me a favor? Wham! Favor returned. Do not test my politeness.

Oh, Andy.

restlessruminations:

It’s almost adventure time!!

Here is my flight schedule for the next 3.5 weeks:

Los Angeles - Hartford (friend getting married in CT tomorrow)

New York - Quito, Ecuador (meet up with the tour group)

Quito - Galapagos Islands (Darwin, snorkling, turtles, yachting, etc.)

Galapagos Islands - Quito (four more nights to explore around Quito)

Quito - Denver (Thanksgiving with my Uncle)

Denver - Los Angeles (back home!)

I AM SO EXCITED.

On another note, unless you want to be freaked out by foreign travel, don’t go to the US State Department website. It will scare the shit out of you by quoting every crime statistic in each country over the past ten years. Yikes. I’m going to do my best to travel safely and avoid becoming one of their statistics!

Bon voyage, Tumblr!

As always, so jealous of you and your travelling! Have an AMAZING time!

“I write fiction for the same reasons I read it: to amplify my own experience, to live vicariously through characters who get to do things I’ll never do and visit places I’ll never see. It’s become cliche, but I do think that the best fiction deepens our understanding of what it means to be human.”

Marilyn Monroe, photographed with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and her admittedly superior breasts on the set of Some Like It Hot (1959, dir. Billy Wilder) (via drmacro)

“[The tailor on Some Like It Hot] measured me, 16, 34, 43, 18, 19, 18,” Tony Curtis later recalled, “and then he goes to Marilyn - this is all in the same day and this is the truth…He comes in to Marilyn’s room and Marilyn had on a pair of panties and a white blouse and that’s all. He put the tape around her legs, looked up at Marilyn and said, ‘You know, Tony Curtis has got a better-looking ass than you. She was standing there, she unbuttoned her blouse, and said, “He doesn’t have tits like these!’”

For once, I think we need these salty stories, because Monroe needs all the salt she can get. The Marilyn industry is so deeply soaked in her crack-ups-shaking the poor woman until we can hear the slosh of booze and the rattle of pills-that it’s a relief to get back to the floozie with the forked tongue.

-Anthony Lane, excerpted from “On Billy Wilder”, The New Yorker

I love that picture, and that movie is in my top 5 of all time.

Cheeming Boey uses sharpies and styrofoam cups to express his creativity. Each cup takes hours or months to complete. These are so amazing, check out the rest here.
