sorry we’re not much help… pp enlighten us. by dd+jr+cm+m+m
we can’t deny that the creation of imagery, whether for industry or expression, runs in trends. our choice of what we think looks nice is generally somewhat dictated by what we’ve been exposed to, and our particular personal experience with it (hence the power of nostalgia, but that’s a whole other spew of ramblings). i think the same is true with language, basically the words we choose, and what we think sounds cool. this not only communicates the specific, but indicates a vibe on a larger more hazy scale. i haven’t been reading enough contemporary lit, magazines, or even habitually following new bands to be any sort of authority, but here’s my quick list of simple, trendy words from the past year…
ritual
cyote
magic
plethora
moon
jasmine
holy
altar
dream
teenage
passage
esoteric
lover
irreverent
meadow
smokey
judgment
golden
cowboy

“the captain and his crew wish you a dazzling stop-over in paris.” well that is the latest installment of the air france print ads and as usual they are produced nicely at BETC in paris by cannes juror and creative director, florence bellisson. lets now hope that the passengers don’t get run over by a deux chevaux. by dd
a recent trip to the saatchi gallery in london sparked a little debate on which is which. quick answer: stalagmites grow from the ground up and stalactites drip from the ceiling down (hang tight). i’ll leave the interweb to tell you the rest. by kl

so the dutch model lara stone has hang-ups about her body, saying she hates “most of her figure. most of it. it depends on the day. like most women, i have days where i feel like today i’m not leaving the house – you know days where you’ve got a spot on your nose or when you’ve just got off a flight, eaten fish and chips and feel really bloated – that one happens a lot to me. you have to accept yourself though…”
yeh! no shit lara? most women are silly like that while guys walk around thinking they are alain delon while looking like complete slobs, on a daily basis… explaining why gorgeous women are usually stuck with obese business men… can’t stand that. the sexiest thing about a girl is her confidence. no face or body can replace that, not saying it doesn’t count but there sure is a hierarchy here. just remember that. by cm
the jaw threw me off for a bit… but i finally figured it out. its the skull of a dog. an english bulldog to be precise. quite vulgar both in life and after i suppose. by xy

as some comedian once said, “forget about banning guns, if you make each bullet like a 1,000 dollars the nigga’s gonna think twice before shooting anyone”. by dd
