Random Picture Entry: A Boy and His Dog
We're coming upon the one-year anniversary of the day I made this my desktop, which is a momentous occasion indeed. Let's celebrate by looking at many pictures of Paul McCartney and his sheepdog Martha.
It's so much fun for me when Paul McCartney plays the trumpet! Like in this photo, of which John Lennon is clearly the star.

Random Picture Entry: George Harrison and Michael Jackson
This morning I dreamed that George Harrison and Michael Jackson were resurrected for one day, for a ceremony that was a near-exact re-creation of the final scene of Star Wars - only, like, way somber. They were both wrapped in hooded robes and I touched their arms as they passed me by, then went back to my seat and cried into a grocery-store circular in which Bill Cosby was advertising Cosby sweaters.

Laura Jane Faulds is Hot for the Alphabet
One week and four days ago, I was sitting at a Vietnamese restaurant eating Vietnamese food and reading James Joyce, when I had an epiphany. My epiphany went:
Nobody does more with less than writers. All we have is twenty-six letters.
And this epiphany changed my life forever. I swear to God I was not on drugs when this happened. Anyway, check out how pretty the alphabet is! Oh, Alphabet. Let's spend the rest of our lives together.

Random Picture Entry: Meet the Sapeurs, The Congo's Most Dapper Gentlemen Ever
Sometimes you see an image that is so indisputably elegant and riveting that you just HAVE to find out everything about it. For me recently, it was when I stumbled upon some portraits, shot by Francesco Giusti, of these incredibly-dressed dandies from Congo-Brazzaville in the World Press Photo show I went to last week. (I can't reproduce the images here, but you can peek a gander at them at the World Press Photo winners gallery. These images are culled from various sources on the Internet.)
How could you NOT look at such incredible style? The tiny little description told me these dudes were sapeurs, members of a certain style cult of high-fashion dressing in the Congo called La Societé des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes. (Aside: how amazing would it be to put down "ambianceuse" on my passport as my occupation one day!) SAPE, as it's known by, emerged in the 1960s when Congolese would visit Paris and come back to Africa with the latest styles. According to the description, hardcore sapeurs apparently would save up money (for years, in some cases) in order to buy high fashion from the likes of Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Versace and the like. These stylin' dudes often became local celebrities because of their flair for fashion, and would even make appearances at weddings and funerals to lend an air of elegance and glamour to the proceedings. That's all that the caption stated, but judging from the richness of the images (and knowing this was Africa, one of the most geopolitically complex continents EVER--to completely understate it), I knew there was more to the story.
