I might be able to ask Frank Frankovitch—Did you take Russian Studies?

The clothes are beautiful, but holy hell, those shoes and socks? I realize that I am of the unhip, late 30's, Dansko-wearin', can only afford Old Navy clothes, no make up wearin' demographic, so I am no one's arbitrix of style.

Whoops, thanks! Will download. I didn't notice your name at Gizmodo until now—super great gig.

Ha. I loved this article and then saw your name, Geoff. I am pretty sure you were the one who showed me Witkin books in the cage when you were working at the art library. Great post. Can't wait to read more of your work. And download Necrophilia.

Ahem...Journey is doing just fine currently, and without Steve Perry: http://www.pbs.org/independentlen…

Yes. This.

I signed up for one of those daily sale letters called Brads Deals and every few weeks they have a Kohl's deals for Kitchen Aid. They are helpful in telling you how to game the discounts, rebates and Kohl's cash. The net price is usually $150 for the cheapest version (white), but there was a rare $188 for the Artisan…

Maybe it was Non-Sequitur, the poor man's Far Side?

THIS THIS THIS. Affordable food AND the time to exercise is so important. I have a regular job, and two attention-sucking small children. How the hell am I supposed to have time to relax for an hour or two after bed AND lose the 30 pounds i need to lose to be close to normal? I have the "luxury" of being able to get…

In a word, NO.

I might add that I was a 19 year old super nerd and to have a kinda of cute boy come flirt with me made me so haaaaaapy. As I learned more about his criminal (as a juvenile!) past and obsession with Joey Buttafuoco (oh the halcyon early 90's!) I realized that I was much better off with my Sports Walkman and my face…

Age: 19 and ready to get it over with with just about anyone

I love Howard. I find him insufferable at times and I think the pervy stuff is tired and I feel like he is phoning it in when he is interviewing the strippers and porn stars. But the show isn't all that. It is't even 30% that, I don't think. Anyway, when someone says they don't like him I always ask if they have ever…

Oh. So. Punk.

It may be because I am old and started picking my own clothes in 1986 and have lived through the era of less-than-slimming, whimsically patterned, and distressed jeans and lived to tell the tale, but I see jeans as a neutral canvas. Blue. Black. White. Gray. Have fun with shoes, have fun with shirts, get a spiral…

I don't understand this attitude (too old after 35), but maybe because I am part of a demographic of people who are academics and non profit types who couldn't afford to have a baby until they were in their mid-to-late 30s. Sure, your chances for birth defects go up, statistically, I guess, but I think it's really…

Hell is other peoples' children.

I agree, I mean to me, it's a lot MORE edgy than real menstrual blood, which is, like the blogger's friend said, pretty fucking cliched at this point. As a prank, I like it, as Aaaaaaart, it's been done a LOT, and it's hard to come up with something, um, fresh.

I live in the South (NC) and grew up in NW Connecticut, and it was just as much of a redneck, racist, homophobic shitfest as it is outside of the cities down here. I am tired of the What is Wrong with The South as it relates to Paula Deen discourse.

Oh my god, the early 90's at UO was the only time I could AFFORD (or fit into) Free People. Now you can purchases it's gauzy bohemian goodness for a mere $100+ at the local Nordstrom. And of course, get off my lawn.
