tight-roped

The tightrope between the cliffs of childhood and adulthood...I'm old enough and young enough. I'm too old and too young. I get marshmallow on my face when we make smores; when drunk I spill beer on my legs. Some nights I sleep with a stuffed animal in my bed; some nights I fuck him in it. I'm engaged to be married; I haven't yet left home.

‘Rage for color’, photo by Erwin Blumenfeld, October 15, 1958

“Model in green is Dolores Hawkins, in blue is Anne St. Marie and purple is Bani Yevelston.
Bani Yevelston was the first black model to participate in an American fashion show (1957). Her appearance in Minneapolis made a big splash and was the subject of a number of press articles. The New York Times reported the event and LIFE published a series of photographs by Blumenfeld illustrating the dresses and models in the show.”From the book “Erwin Blumenfeld” by Michael Métayer.

Just a few weeks ago, Hindus around the world celebrated the festival of colors, known as Holi. Participants of all ages throw brilliantly colored powders to welcome the coming of springtime.

The Atlantic rounded up a gorgeous set of photos of Holi festivals from across the country of India.

It goes without saying that a meal from McDonalds is an experience in itself. Some of us are fans, others tend to stay away, but like it or not, almost everyone has been to the fabled golden arches.

The New York Times published a brilliant editorial shot by Nolan Conway that highlights the myriad of faces and sometimes dogs that visit McDonalds.

Angelina Jolie’s Surgery

newyorker:

Jolie’s medical decision says again what shouldn’t need re-saying: that a woman’s body is hers, that breasts are for something other than ogling, and that hard choices are made for strong reasons. Her decision to make her choice public is bold and brave and admirable. It is what celebrity is for.

—Rebecca Mead on Angelina Jolie’s decision to make her mastectomy public:

Unlike many celebrity chefs, who treat cooking like some mystical and convoluted ritual, Ina Garten (The Barefoot Countessa) approaches each dish with the nonchalance of someone who could be doing something else. That’s because she could be. Between 1974 and 1978, Garten worked in the Office of Management and Budget at the White House; starting in 1976, she was responsible for the budget of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and for part of the Department of Energy’s. How Garten went from analyzing nuclear policy to overseeing her own cooking empire is one of the unlikelier stories of American reinvention.

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
