Under my Thumb by Rolling Stones

Well this is a blog of treasures, and as this has been stuck fast in my head
and on my apple tree for a good week it is probably about time.

oh the jagger stagger.

"Yesterday... I strolled a little beyond the glade for an hour and a half... At last i feel asleep on the grass, and awake with a chorus of birds singing around me, and squirrels running up the tree and some woodpeckers laughing, and it was as pleasant and rural a scene as ever i saw, and i did not care one penny how any of the beasts or birds had been formed "

Charles Darwin writing from Moor Park to his wife Emma.

I like how he just forgets himself.

Why are THEY wearing masks?

I think i want a mask like that.

It is so awkward and so incredible

(and X Rated so tread carefully)

GHOSTS

A Nod to the Treasure Makers.

• Meat & Cheese

Laura's culinary adventures, recently rekindled upon Jaimie and her's personal endeavor for mere waif-dom.

An inspiring lady whose role in the underground restaurant movement inspires me, and whose writing i find at times slightly scathing, still highly charming.

• a look through the lens

Sara's photography blog, top bird, hot shots.

• youth novels

Rachael's beautiful blog, that never fails to impress me, stuffed with amazing photographers, high fashion and the such.

Her recent nod to Philip Toledano's "days with my father" made me more than a bit emotional.

She has a keen eye for perfection.

Southern Label, Articles and Information

Aaron's artistic personal portfolio, great work

Lucy Swan's lovely photography work, featuring her beautiful twin, and the stunning Alice.

Billy's Blog/Website for his delightful Illustration

• 3191 miles apart

These women, a pair of best friends, produced something i loved, the 3191 of mornings/evenings,
after moving 3191 miles apart they both took a photo every morning/evening and then published them next to each other to document their activities that evening, there are beautiful moment of synchronicity, and opposition.
An idea i wish i had had for my estranged bests.

On the Earburner: Genius Mixes (hello i-tunes 9)

My Mother's Cupboards and my Father's Words

by

Anna Fox

beastly bitches, filthy cows

She's washed so many dishes, her hands have blown up like bears claws

Your mother's in control now, I've got no control

she should be fried in hot oil

She's got hands like gorilla's claws

She wants her bum scraped with a rusty saw

She's got seven ears like her mother

I'll cut your bum off and serve it in slices like raw bacon

I'm going to put her under the grill, i couldn't cover her in butter, i'm going to cover her in grease and fry her

you toad, pity i got rid of the well you could have gone down there and been cemented over

she's bloody rattling again. can you stop your bloody fucking rattling

i love this series to death, the parallel of the pair of their characters is great.

her other work is quite great too, go here and explore.

i need to get a new camera.

The Man on the Roof

"In 1966 and again in 1968 a man heads to the roof of a YMCA to model dozens of pairs of women's bikini bottoms.
Then in 1969 and 1972 he heads to the beach to model some more."

I keep meaning to post this because I am sort of in love with strange perversions.

Perversions fascinate and amaze me, and i like the way they become obsessions.

Like, he just keeps coming back to this, after several years, like he HAS to do it.

I wander if other men do this on other roofs in other women's underwear?

Fascinated.
