Not that she does or should read this blog, but all the same. Sade, S.B. Sr. and E…ahhh June 2 is a good one!

In honour of our B’day girl…I looked at Juicy Couture’s site. Gotta say looks cheap and boring…but then again, I’m not exactly nor have I ever been stylish. They’ve got tracksuits for fuck’s sake…how nice can they be? It looks like the Ukraine and LA had a cheap party.

Starck: Design Is Dead, Sorry

Filed under: Fashion (Facism) — quietglow @ 10:13 am

Maybe anyway, since the article is in german.

I agree with the comment that suggests that the take-away here is that the design world will no longer have to live with the embarrassing starck cult of personality (combined with the kinda crappy stuff that he makes).

Hey all.Article about a pro-facist march in Russia. ThisKindersiegheilin'caught my eye…Then this hit me as one of those oh so great “Oh shit” moments, where you feel much sadder for having your first reactionTexan exporting Texas goods to RussiaGotta just shake your head and say Texas does it again when you read

Preston Wiginton, a white supremacist from Texas, addressed the crowd, as did Belov and nationalist Duma Deputy Andrei Savelyev.  

A quick google brings up earlier Wiginton action From the article:

“We don’t think it’s fair to put non-U.S. citizens ahead of citizens in tuition,” said Preston Wigington, one of the organizers of the demonstration. “Far in the future, if we have so many illegal immigrants and they reproduce, it’ll just give more incentive to keep coming into the country.”  

Am I the only one to notice that Facists have an amazingly high-level of focus on all things reproductive? I’m fairly convinced that knee-jerk reproductive comments (whether it be from A church, a Texan pro-facist, or your grandmother) are a reduction of person to a means for and end and a dehumaniziing one at that?Another Blogger on PW the TX facist.
