Imaginary Shopping Spree: In God We Trust flask, Larry Clark prints, LJ's Dream Givenchy Minidress
GETTING HOOCHED UP ON CHEEKY PROFANITY
I enjoy a good spat of cheeky profanity in unexpected places, and I like pretending I am a modern chick version of a hardboiled 1920s literary type. If you too share these traits and like the idea of carrying a flask of evil spirits with you to boring social occasions, then I surmise we both would covet this In God We Trust flask in a very heated way. Something about this object is very "Kat in 2010," but I haven't figured out how quite yet. But give me time, we're still only in first month. (Kat)
TEENAGE LUST, IN THE BATHTUB
I'm dying for a print of this Larry Clark photo. It's titled Speedy and Barb, I think, and it's maybe from his Teenage Lust series. Found it while rooting around online the other day, after flipping out over a bunch of Tulsa photos on display at MOCA (where, sadly, the Lemonade cafe serves neither cranberry-cinnamon nor cucumber mint lemonade, as at the Venice location). I also fell head-over-boots for lots of the Nan Goldin photos, including one titled something like Bobby and Scotty at Jones Beach, but I'm not 100 percent sure cuz I was writing it down in my little notebook and then the guard reprimanded me - so sad. Help a girl out, if you can. (Liz)
I'D, LIKE, GET MARRIED IN THIS DRESS
Don't you think that Laura Jane should get whatever Laura Jane wants? Don't you think this Givenchy minidress would look like eighty billion trillion million infinity times cuter on me than it does on this ugly model? I wonder how much this dress actually costs, in actual life. Probably eighty billion trillion million infinity dollars, give or take a few dollars. Paul McCartney, if you're reading this- can you please buy me this dress? Or, I'm not tied down to being bought this dress by the cute Beatle, though that would of course be ideal. I've been writing for nogoodforme.com for almost three years now, and I find it hard to believe that there's no rich old man with a creepy crush on me out there, positively chomping at the bit at the prospect of buying good old Laura Jane a Givenchy minidress. Do it, Rich Old Man! I promise I will never call you creepy again. (Laura Jane)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
I've seen the teenage lust series and I might be wrong but if memory serves me correctly those two kids are siblings. There is also another photo in the series called "Brother and Sister" that is even more disturbing. I'm rarely offended by the content of artwork but I think that Larry Clark went way too far in this particular instance. Teenagers are inherently crazy, it's wrong to exploit them. Especially if they are crazy enough to be having consensual sex with their siblings
