“

Coincidence or prophecy? It snowed in London last year & now the governments’ lies are exposed in a story linked with sky (“from the skyline shine the lies of the government’s singular history”). I say Brett Anderson & Suede have predicted the second coming. It is happening, now. She will rise. She will rise.

“My Dark Star”

In a hired car she will come to England from the sea
And as the tide flows the London snows will come.
And from the SKYline shines the lies of the government’s singular history
So in a hired world she will buy a gun

And she will come from India with a love in her eyes
That say oh how my dark star will rise

In rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man
But with a tattoed tit she’d die for us all tonight.

And she will come from India with a gun at her side,
Or she will come from Argentina
With her cemetery eyes that say
Oh, how my dark star will rise,

…and she will rise.

“In the Bulwer-Lytton prize for bad writing:

Ali Kawashima’s entry, “As the dark and mysterious stranger approached, Angela bit her lip anxiously, hoping with every nerve, cell, and fiber of her being that this would be the one man who would understand – who would take her away from all this – and who would not just squeeze her boob and make a loud honking noise, as all the others had”, won the romance award.

David @ NYC fashion week (comic value) → keshot.com

For comic value: a question I answered at NYC fashion week in February 2011. I have changed glasses since then, & the new ones look better! Far better.

The link (http://keshot.com/en/postcard/pc.asp?s=T14021611073623&i=3560470) points you to the video. No idea why I cannot embed it!

PS. For those who are desperate to know more about me (& there must be, well at least in my dreams there are), feel free to visit my blog, & my website.

Very interesting work by Mathieu Bernard-Reymond
http://www.booooooom.com/2011/07/21/photographer-mathieu-bernard-reymond/
I randomly ranted that in paintings & drawings from the middle-ages, it is not uncommon to see the same character repeated: the work portrays different stages of the same story. Something similar is happening here!
