Vintage Mortons!
My friend Katie recently found out about an old pastime of mine, which was to cull pictures of obnoxious and precocious smart-aleck kids from the Sears catalog and various circulars that came in the mail.
The fact is, by the time I was in tenth grade, I had a pretty impressive collection of unctuous youngsters, smirking and grandstanding in smarmy poses and sporty coordinates. I called the maggoty kids "mortons," and kept the carefully cut-out images in a tacky little photo album that I could carry in my backpack and access at a moment's notice. I still have it somewhere. When I find the thing, I will post it as a glorious tribute to cocky children and cheap clothes throughout the ages.
But speaking of cocky children throughout the ages, that brings me to my point: Turns out, Mortons are forever.

Beyond the Pale
Back by popular demand:
It's Vagina Taxi.
This thing just rules.
Let's look at it some more.
To the right, you see the Vagina Taxi with its visionary Finnish proprietor, Mimosa Pale, who is radical not just for her name and for her Vagina Taxi, but also for the withering manner in which she casts judgment on our entire phallic-centered civilization as she stands here, discontented and contemptuous, wearing a terrific hat, in this photo.
Let's also note that this is a vagina BIKE CAB. So it's eco-friendly and forward-thinking... noble in more ways than we originally imagined.
No shoes inside THIS vagina!
I think Mimosa Pale is my new hero. Besides pulling the Vagina Cab around the streets of Helsinki, she's also a hat designer and she plays the saw. Here's more of her at work:

In Memorium
I present to you, dear friends, a reflective and deeply moving group of images in celebration of the Facebook photo album that many of us came to love with our whole hearts. TILTLA (Things I Like To Look At) was cut short, in the prime of life, in the heat of the moment, with so much promise ahead. We didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. Let's grab hands, as we struggle to understand this violent, unexplained and sudden loss, and plow forth in our beloved album's name.
