Marc Jacob Rules Again!

So here is the link to a hand-drawn QR code for Marc Jacobs. I like. I must try.

Speaking of Saline Implants...

Want bigger boobies but can't afford them? Here is a link set up by two cosmetically-conscious entrepreneurs of an online boob charity. It's called MyFreeImplants.com Here, people can create profiles, post pictures and videos of themselves, message & chat with friends, etc., and men/women from anywhere in the world can act as benefactors to these women who are looking for a way to fund their implants by donations made through PayPal. It's boob charity in exchange for online friendship. The catch however is that these "friends" are NOT to meet each other outside of the site.

Holy Sheit! Japanese Frankensteins!!!

This is called Body Inflation. People with heads that have been intentionally distorted, kids who have deliberately disfigured themselves by experimenting with saline inflations. Gross!
Apparently this isn’t new, but it’s growing in popularity. This particular phenomenon isn't exclusive to Japan but the nature of Japanese subculture and the propensity for its people to take things to extreme levels have helped body inflation gain popularity. I do wish some of my students would be that extreme so we'd have more to talk about.

This is how it works by:

Body mod pioneer Samppa Von Cyborg.

The professional body piercer will use a saline bag, tube and needle. It works in a similar way to a hospital drip, so the bag needs to be raised above the body part picked for puffing.
* Body inflators never make their own saline solution and steer clear of tap water, due to the risk of infection.
* The needle is placed under the skin but not in a vein – or the build-up of pressure could mean exploding blood vessels all over the show.
* While it’s not that dangerous, some people who’ve done it regularly have found their skin has permanently explanded.
* The most interesting place to inflate is the forehead, as the taut skin means the effects are extremely obvious.
* Inflatees can prod the inflated lumps to make them look more interesting.

TK Artist Lofts

I share with you today because I am touched and amazed that actually organizations, people, governments out there do support artists. The Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts in Seattle provide housing for low-income families/households with working artists that need work and studio space.

An adorable music video by Tanya Davis. Oh so cute. Oh so inspiring on a blah day.

Homo Milk, Anyone?

So a couple of months ago, M and I had Homo Sausages for breakfast. Refer to older post. Yesterday, we found the perfect glass to drink our milk in. Homo Breakfasts will rule.
