quiz: what’s your hidden talent
Uh, or that particular, special kind of hidden that might actually be mistaken for “obvious” in my case:
Your Hidden Talent |
|
It’s people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes. You’re just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices. |

Sunday sermon at the Esoteric Order of Dagon
I’m assuming you know the original source of which this is an obscene and unspeakable (and Constitutionally-protected) mockery, right? He’s getting quite litigious these days, so I’m not going to link to him, nor to the source from whence I obtained this accursed and unmentionable document. Click to view full-size and read, gasping, while the blood freezes in your veins and the very stars stand still to watch in awe-struck horror.

cheeto Barbaro!
What are the odds a messy, drunken, bereft and adrift cheeto-positive Britney didn’t put in the winning $69.69 bid for this literally cheesy memento of the late great mucilage component? Stolen from Bridlepath.
I couldn’t eat him. It wouldn’t be right. Everybody loves Cheetos, but we love Barbaro even more. I don’t know what made me look at this one before I ate it, know it sounds crazy, but I’m sure I heard Barbaro neighing in my ear. He sounded a little horse, but it was loud enough for me stop eating and look at him. The rest is history and now we can share him with the world!
…Cheetos Barbaro will expire, BUT YOU CAN SAVE HIM!
…Please do not bid unless you are serious about taking care of Barbaro. Barbaro probably would like to hang around a while longer–NEIGH, HE SAYS HE WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER! So its up to you to make it happen. He needs to be mounted in a place of honor in a good, stable home.
BARBARO LIVES!

the Beautiful Women Project
cross-posted to running through rain
What causes art? In this case, it’s simple: a child’s desire for mutilation.
Do 13-year-olds really need to be saving their babysitting and paper route money for breast implants? Cheryl-Ann Webster wondered that herself, when her daughter told her that a friend was already socking away money for the boobflation job she felt would be an absolute necessity, sooner rather than later.
So Cheryl-Ann made a few synthetic boobs herself; she made The Beautiful Women Project.
To demonstrate that beautiful bodies come in all shapes and sizes, she wanted to surround young girls with sculptures of real women’s bodies…
The Beautiful Women Project is a touring art exhibition of life-sized torsos of real women aged 19-91.
Aims:
- To challenge socially-constructed images of beauty
- To raise awareness and open a dialogue about the link between self-worth and physical appearance
- To be a teaching and healing tool
In the artist’s words: “Our bodies tell our life story. They are portraits of our journeys and experiences. Knowing that our body is beautiful just as it exists, is a message more people need to see and hear.”
