Scott, you should play the lottery.
I might be a vegetarian, but I love Ryden meat.

When Joseph-Nicephore Niepce took the first photograph in 1828, his photographic plate required an exposure of eight hours. That exposure time was drastically reduced across the course of the nineteenth century, so that by the 1890s the Collodion process had cut exposure times to two or three seconds.
Nevertheless, a three second exposure meant that subjects had to stand very still to avoid being blurred, and holding a smile for that period was tricky. As a result, we have a tendency to see our Victorian ancestors as even more formal and stern than they might have been.
These pictures are drawn from the Flickr group “The Smiling Victorian” and show a perhaps surprising side to the people who’s “now” was a hundred years before our own.
This reminds me of a B.A. thesis a friend of mine is currently writing on the “Invention” of Victorianism by Modernist writers in the early 20th century.
Very cool but creepy to imagine them holding their smiles and feigned laughter for a countdown.

My Tank Girl costume from this weekends Kapow on Saturday. Costumes different tomorrow. But still Tank Girl. Photos taken by the amazing Anna and edited by myself.
wow this is pretty much perfect
Don’t judge me….but I “LOVED” Tank Girl. I thought she was so kickass. And kinda hot, too. Lori Petty hasn’t aged gracefully, unfortunately. But back then, she could geddit!
this is SO perfect. I have a very unhealthy obsession with Tank Girl and this makes my lady parts tingle.
Awesome, great job! I wanna be your Jet Girl.
Aww. “Thank god for coffee & cigarettes…. And you.”
Vintage kisses always looked violent.
