>> PETA has long targeted Anna Wintour for her fur patronage, even going so far as to throw tofu pie in her face in 2005, but Carine Roitfeld may have just put herself on the hit list.  In the August 2008 issue of Vogue Paris, Carine styled a shoot starring a fur-draped Raquel Zimmermann brazenly giving faceless PETA-like activists the bird.  Only a couple of pictures from the Mario Testino-shot editorial have appeared so far, but these images are sure to stir the pot.

Image Industry + Realized in Emilio Pucci SS 2008 Campaignin With This Game. Bavgatè park the scraperz

No matter what is you do.... Art, Photography, Sales, Directing, Modeling, Managing, Publishing, Acting, Designing, Styling, 'Receptionesting' haha; you have the unique pleasure to work in this still exclusive industry of imagery. i've noticed that in the past year the newest trend is to talk about how inclusive this business has or is becoming. sorry trendymctrendsters, even though Andy Warhol is more popular than in a while thanks to this new generation of interneters and the refurbishing of Interview, the business is still tiny. and that is a good thing. that is the very essence of it. we sit from the top and dictate whatever the masses consider to be the pinnacle of elegance. yet, all the fashion and art magazines together maybe only have a (monthly) circulation of 20 million. that sounds like a lot, but that's including Vogue. how many people read V Magazine every drop? maybe 20,000 touch its cover, maybe. that's not a lot. 12 million read Cooking Light, a Time Inc. publication for healthy eating, monthly. the point being even as art and fashion overlap, they remain still the group of 'cool kids' sitting atop of the social mass of billions. the mass dress and talk as they think the cool kids would, and to go to just one of the their parties would be devine.  just like high school, an understatement would be to say the cool ones are not unaware the others are watching. ..so is the Image Industry... that just best describes it. because not only are we all in this business of handling branding, beauty, fantasy, sex.... it is purely about... IMAGE. of the individual and the world as everyone sees it. and i think that this is an artistic endeavor in itself by all those involved, together. so again, no matter what it is that you are doing here, please be grateful that your job ultimately is the handling the perpetual conception and rebirth of luxury culture's reception. you therefore must be enjoying some luxury merely as a product of this. it is almost a certified pastime to speak of how bored or tired one is doing one of many things in this industry of image; the humor found in the relativity that one has come to accept as a normality in a life of luxurious privilege.   I have been searching for such a description for a year now and this simple phrase is the best description found (on imagist) so far. it's an amazing business more beautiful and elegant than that even of hollywood thanks to the collection of said covert agents crafting a world of influence and information that somewhat still escapes the universally inclusive world of texting and internet. this business is still a level of elitists. and not in a self centered fashion, only in a sense of self realized talent. the same effort as those on wall street give to numbers, we apply to a world of art and influence and therefore, crafting the very underlying culture for which all yearn. the Imagery of Elegance. this is not hollywood- this is Business of raw desire. it's P.I.  eatin the world like Otis Spunkmeyers.

'A' Black Issue

?? will it be the only black issue, a PR silencer ?? Immediately when i bought the issue couple weeks ago, couldn't help but think of Sozzani having a strong consideration over the title of 'the' or 'A' and which would be better business. 'The' would purport to the issue to be one and only as 'A' sounds a bit more deceptively reaching. probably nothing, but just thinking. Really nice photos, wish i could read the text. still love the Major and Women girls

Dirty Boss Jus Wanna Buy Art

July 13, 2008 --

A HEAD rolled at 303 Gallery in Chelsea after an employee failed to recognize designer Marc Jacobs . "He's a big art collector and he came in looking scruffy and homeless," said an insider. "A low-level employee was disturbed to see this guy walking around and asked him to leave. [Jacobs] left without a whimper. When the owner, Lisa Spellman, found out, she fired [the clueless staffer] on the spot." Spellman told Page Six that Jacobs has been to the gallery and an employee was fired, but not over Jacobs.

GOT ME THINKIN ON BETTER DAYS

HE MIGHT NOT GOT IT!!!
Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live
Smokin weed like it ain't no thang, so even kids
wanna try now, they lie down and get ran through
Nobody watched 'em clockin the evil man do
Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin victims screamin
Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens

Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
A born thug in the first place, the worst ways
I'd love to see the block in peace
With no more dealers and crooked cops, the only way to stop the beast
And only we can change

It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same
Too many murders, too many funerals and too many tears
Just seen another brother buried plus I knew him for years
Passed by his family, but what could I say?
Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith
And pray for better days

the ideas of hoaxes are as fascinating as that of future possibilities.

 just pretend for a second that this is fake. it looks fake, no? lookin like a straight 1969 science fiction flick. you think the landing module would look like that in 2008? or is it supposed to just look uber-cool relative to the contemporary vision of the future? how did this fool get out of this tiny ass little hatch? and how did that flimsy untested little module land? where is the light shining from on this fool like he's got the spot flash on em in that New V man editorial?  why the fuck is the module covered in gold foil? my favorite though is that that stuff (module base, buggy, flags and even toss up from surface disturbances) should still be visible on the moon with an O.K. telescope since that side of the moon is always facing earth in orbit. but guess what, there's nothing there. but fuck, 89% are on board for the affirmation of this 'history'. when we don't 'return' for three hundred years maybe people will start to ask questions. ................like thaaaaaat?

Pyramid Mystery.

OK, OK i've been warned that this theory is to be avoided pending extensive research. however, i find this to be too much fun to ignore. so here i am spending office time talking about aliens and such. below are snippets from an article by John Zajac. these are merely a few simplistic facts. do what you want with them. i suggest you research the pyramid. it is a repository of universal standards, it is a model of the earth against which any standard could be confirmed and corrected if necessary. "the science in which it was founded having long since disappeared." ??????????

It is exactly the imperishable standard, which the French had sought to create by the devising of the metre, but infinitely more practical and intelligent. 

The Pyramid is located at the exact center of the Earth's land mass. That is, its East-West axis corresponds to the longest land parallel across the Earth, passing through Africa, Asia, and America. Similarly, the 

longest land meridian on Earth, through Asia, Africa, Europa, and Antarctica, also passes right through the Pyramid. Since the Earth has enough land area to provide 3 billion possible building sites for the Pyramid, the odds of it's having been built where it is are 1 in 3 billion.

     

  Among those intrigued by the incredible accuracy of the Pyramid's construction was the great scientist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton. Attemping to formulate his famous law of gravity, Newton needed to know the diameter of the Earth. However, in the 1600's no measurement was accurate enough, especially since Newton theorized that the Earth's spin would cause an equatorial bulge. Having heard legends claiming that knowledge of the Earth, the past, and the future were contained in the Pyramid, Newton set out to investigate.

After studying the detailed measurements made by the investigators before him, Newton recognized that many key measurements would be in round numbers if the standard unit of measure was just 0.001 (1/1,000) inch larger than the British inch-which just happens to be the Sacred Jewish Inch. (The Sacred Jewish Inch, 1/25 of a cubit, equals 1.00106 British inches.) This discovery allowed the secrets of the Pyramid to be unlocked and revealed unmistakable and mathematical relationships. For instance:

• We know from geometry that there is a universal relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference. Consider this: The height of the Pyramid's apex is 5,812.98 inches, and each side is 9,131 inches from corner to corner (in a straight line). If the circumference of the Pyramid is divided by twice its height (the diameter of a circle is twice the radius), the result is 3.14159, which just happens to be pi. Incredibly, this calculation is accurate to six digits. So the Pyramid is a square circle, and thus pi was designed into it 4,600 years ago. Pi is demonstrated many times throughout the Pyramid.

• Other numbers are also repeated throughout. Each of the Pyramids four walls, when measured as a straight line, are 9,131 inches, for a total of 36,524 inches. At first glance, this number may not seem significant, but move the decimal point over and you get 365.24. Modern science has shown us that the exact length of the solar year is 365.24 days.

All of the evidence in the Great Pyramid shows that 4,600 years ago somebody knew a great deal about the Earth. But it gets better, much better:

• The average height of land above sea level (Miami being low and the Himalayas being high), as can be measured only by modern-day satellites and computers, happens to be 5,449 inches. That is the exact height of the Pyramid.

• All four sides of the Pyramid are very slightly and evenly bowed in, or concave. This effect, which cannot be detected by looking at the Pyramid from the ground, was discovered around 1940 by a pilot taking aerial photos to check certain measurements. As measured by today's laser instruments, all of these perfectly cut and intentionally bowed stone blocks duplicate exactly the curvature of the earth. The radius of this bow is equal to the radius of the Earth. This radius of curvature is what Newton had long been seeking

• In his book The Egyptian Pyramids: A Comprehensive, Illustrated Reference, J.P. Lepre wrote:

• One very unusual feature of the Great Pyramid is a concavity of the core that makes the monument an eight-sided figure, rather than four-sided like every other Egyptian pyramid. That is to say, that its four sides are hollowed in or indented along their central lines, from base to peak. This concavity divides each of the apparent four sides in half, creating a very special and unusual eight-sided pyramid; and it is executed to such an extraordinary degree of precision as to enter the realm of the uncanny. For, viewed from any ground position or distance, this concavity is quite invisible to the naked eye. The hollowing-in can be noticed only from the air, and only at certain times of the day. This

   explains why virtually every available photograph of the Great Pyramid does not show the hollowing-in phenomenon, and why the concavity was never discovered until the age of aviation. It was discovered quite by accident in 1940, when a British Air Force pilot, P. Groves, was flying over the pyramid. He happened to notice the concavity and captured it in the now-famous photograph. [p. 65]

Like 20th century bridge designs, the Pyramid's cornerstones have balls and sockets built into them. Several football fields long, the Pyramid is subject to expansion and contraction movements from heat and cold, as well as earthquakes, settling, and other such phenomena. After 4,600 years it's structure would have been significantly damaged without such construction.

While the bulk of the Pyramid's core was constructed of 4,000- to 40,000-pound blocks of soft limestone, the outer layer of the Pyramid was made of a beautifully bright, protective layer of polished stone. These outer "casing stones" are missing today because about 600 years ago they were stolen by Arabs, (This accounts for the very worn appearance of the Pyramid today, since the inner limestone blocks are not immune to attack by the elements-wind, rain, and sandstrom.) This protective covering was made up of 100-inch-thick, 20-ton block of hard, white limestone, similar to marble but superior in hardness and in durability against the elements.

The casing stones, 144,000 in all, were so brilliant that they could literally be seen from the mountains of Israel hundreds of miles away. On bright mornings and late afternoons, sunlight reflected by this vast mirrored surface of 5-1/4 acres distinguished the Pyramid as being visible from the moon.

(Note: For those interested in possible symbolic significance, in Bible prophecy 144,000 is the number of people-12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel-who are supposed to evangelize the world at the endtime.)

The people of the area had viewed the Pyramid and its polished stones with awe for centuries. But when a 13th century earthquake loosened some of these casing stones, the Arabs recognized a great quarry of precut stones that could be used to finish off palaces and mosques. For instance, the casing stones were used to rebuild the new city of El Kaherah plus Cairo mosques and palaces, including the Mosque of Sultan Hasan.

Amazingly, the outside surface stones are cut within 0.01 (1/100th) inch of perfectly straight and at nearly perfect right angles for all six sides. And they were placed together with an intentional gap between them of 0.02 inch. Modern technology cannot place such 20-ton stones with greater accuracy than those in the Pyramid.

Even more amazing is that the 0.02-inch gap was designed to allow space for glue to seal and hold the stones together. A white cement that connected the casing stones and made them watertight is still intact and stronger than the blocks that it joins.

(OK I LOVE THIS PART BELOW HAHA)

Clearly, whoever built the Pyramid had access to information beyond that which earthlings possessed at the time, at least earthlings as we know them. Now, one can argue that we were visited by scientifically advanced beings from outer space who taught us their technology. That is possible from the evidence presented, perhaps even likely. If so, these advanced beings had the paramount goal of leaving behind a message that would endure for eons.

Suppose these beings decided to leave a message. The message would have to be universal yet simple. It would have to survive the centuries and be understandable by all the Earth's inhabitants despite language and cultural differences. The message would have to be understood by many languages that would not come into existence for centuries after the message was written.

So far the message indicates that whoever built the Pyramid knew the Earth well: the length of the year, the radius of curvature, the standard measurement techniques, the average height of the continents, and the center of the land mass. They were able to consruct something that we still cannot construct today, and they were able to tie all these things together in this single structure. Were they extraterrestrial, or perhaps even supernatural? The answer is not yet clear. However, thus far we have examined only the outside of the Pyramid.

CRAZY? A LITTLE BUT FUN
