Ch-ch-ch-CHERRY BOMB!
I prefer the original Runaways recording w/ Cherie Currie, but Joan Jett's video is pretty rockin'.

Procrastination...
In desperate attempt to escape the Excel spreadsheet I'm supposed to be working on right now, I've stumbled across an image that more or less captures my current state of mind slash (adolescent) misery. 
Middle-America
Somewhere in the Mid-West, I think Indiana. 
Not my photo, but drove by this same creepy crucifix during a cross-America road trip. It had to be at least 5-stories high. One of those moments when you witness the clashing between your numerous identities, and your personal limitations of each identity - e.g. nationalism, faith, etc.

Menswear for Women
I'm no fashionista. But I know what I like. 
Dior Homme S/S '10. Not wild about the spring collection in general. But like what the girl's rockin'.

Laundry x The World
France 1921
The above photo reminded me of the daily scene along the ghats of Varanasi, India. (And it wasn't much of a step up in China, where it took 2 involved & laborious hours to do laundry. The process: using a shower-head, fill "washer" with water, throw in laundry, have it slosh around for 15 minutes, remove, empty water (be careful not to flood the apartment), place laundry in "dryer" (some spinny contraption sans heat), and repeat all of the above 2-3 more times. Oh, and obviously re-start the water heater every 30 min, as it always broke down mid-manual-water-refill. Hang laundry up to dry.) ANYWAY... 
Varanasi - Fall, '07. Pretty incredible to witness this part of the world, which apparently remains econ/technologically on-par w/ early 20th century France. However, Western nations (and the rest of the world, for that matter) pale in comparison to India's color, chaos, grime, and overall spectacle. 
Normally I'd be tempted to run off with this laundry, but its vibrancy & sense of wear & tear fit so perfectly within its landscape. (And it belonged to people who probably have a lower income than the vagabonds loitering outside 7-11.) So I happily settled for a photo instead. For me, India's streets & ghats were as cool/aesthetically inspiring as "Vogue" is for fashionistas. (The fact that I take wardrobe cues from developing nations may play a role in my struggle to understand dress codes in America...)

Steven Tyler x Piano
Steven playing around on the piano. Before YouTube existed, I was(still am?) one of those obsessed fans who'd wait an hour on Aerosmith fan sites downloading 30 second video clips, like this gem.
