More selections from the 840-page slab ink and glossy stock that was the September 2007 issue of Vogue Magazine (of which, maybe four pages were editorial content.) See Part 1. It seems a little inadequate to call it a magazine. Like calling US Military spending a small indulgence. And speaking of small indulgences, go for the sweet little pink cloth clutch on page 811 from Louis Vuitton for only $1,275. You deserve it. But first, a few more fashion highlights:

It was supposed to be a medical miracle - reattaching a woman’s head and limbs to her torso after a tragic accident. But things went horribly wrong when the torso was accidentally attached backwards - along with the dress. The incompetent surgeon tried to disguise his negligence by draping the pelt of sasquatch over the evidence. Nice try, doc. (Cute shoes, though.)

These poor siamese twins, joined at the handbag, are saving up for the operation that will allow them at last to be separated. Please give.

Natasha trudged onward through the fierce Siberian winter. The old gypsy woman had looked into the tea leaves and seen a happy reunion with her exiled prince. Unfortunately, she neglected to mention it would only be happy for the prince, who would stumble upon her frozen corpse shortly after the last of his food supplies had been depleted.

The Baleful Banshee of Aberdeen: To summon this demon, burn the contents of your dryer’s lint trap at midnight on the full moon while repeating the incantation “FA SHO N’VI K’TOM.” Be warned though: One mistake and you might resurrect your uncle Scottie’s 1976 rec room sofa.

So I came across a copy of September’s Vogue magazine. Not that it was an easy thing to miss. At 840 (EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY) pages, it’s heavier than many of the models featured in its pages.

I’ve scanned a few for your viewificating horror.

The Barbie haircut syndrome. You know what I mean if you ever were a little girl with a Barbie and a pair of scissors. She starts out with beautiful long hair. This is the last stage before dots. Also, last I checked, it was normal for the upper arms to be a bit thicker than the forearms unless you’re Popeye. Would someone please throw this woman a sandwich?

Below: a medical malpractice no-brainer. She went in for a breast augmentation and the incompetent surgeon attached the implant to the side of her head. No wonder she’s got dark circles. Could YOU sleep?

Now I know where the hat from my Monopoly set went. Beyond that, words fail me. This was from an article about a famous makeup artist. She must of run out of big red noses in her kit.

Peter Pan was abducted by gay Victorian zombie urchins. Braaaaiiinnnns.

Vogue 3

One bright spot: An amazing photo of Twila Tharp in a GAP shirt. GAP may be a has-been pimp of mundane, characterless, boring clothes clothes, but they’ve just gone up in my esteem. They are now elevated to a has-been pimp of mundane, characterless, boring clothes with the wits to throw a wheelbarrow full of money at a decent ad agency.

More to come in part 2.

Korean scientists have created glow-in-the-dark cats. Something the world has been clamoring for and it’s about time science coughed up the goods. Or maybe a hairball. At last I’ll be able to get from my bed to the bathroom in the middle of the night without stepping on fluffy.

glow in the dark kitties

But you have to feel a little sorry for the cats. They rely on stealth to stalk their victims. Did science think about that when they popped off willy-nilly and said, “Glow-in-the-dark cats! Cool!”? Hmmm? Mice will see them coming from a mile away and dash for cover. Perhaps it’s part of some evil, dog-loving master plan to rid the world of kitties.

If so, they are doomed to fail: In a brilliant display of turnabout, rival Japanese scientists went and created mice that aren’t afraid of cats.

dancerWhich way is she turning?

The answer depends on whether you are right brained or left brained according to this article in the Daily Telegraph.

Can you change her direction? For me she was resolutely spinning clockwise (right-brained). But after several minutes of concentration I got her turning the other way, though she’ll revert to clockwise if I don’t work at it. It’s easier if you focus on just one part - her foot or chin. Freaky!

Traits of right-brained people: uses feeling, “big picture” oriented, imagination rules, symbols and images, present and future, philosophy & religion, can “get it” (i.e. meaning), believes, appreciates, spatial perception, knows object function, fantasy based, presents possibilities, impetuous, risk taking

Left-brainers: uses logic, detail oriented, facts rule, words and language, present and past, math and science, can comprehend, knowing, acknowledges, order/pattern perception, knows object name, reality based, forms strategies, practical, safe

1. Isn’t it ironic. The parents of a woman accused of murdering her father and sister apparently declined psychiatric treatment for her last year because of their Scientology beliefs.

2. Light tagging. Lights. Camera. Action.

3. The strangest sights in Google Earth.

4. Tampon Crafts! For any time of the month. Are you ready for Ode to Joy on tampon panpipes?

5. Not my kids and not my kids either. Thank god! I can’t believe any parent would have the presence of mind to grab the camera first and freak out after.

6. Parting shot: Some seriously heavy lifting:

This is an entirely fictional account of a supposedly true story from Portland, Oregon. Even if it didn’t happen, it should have. If you know the actual facts, please let me know. I may write a song.

A group of renegade knitters started hanging out at a local dive bar and turned it into something of a clubhouse for yarnaholics. Fuzzy coasters and beer cozies started cropping up all over the place. A pattern was emerging. The old regulars found themselves blocked by the “angora gauntlet.” Finally a group of bikers gauged the situation and decided to rip out these needle addicts before the woolly infestation completely took over. What followed was an epic Battle of the Bikers vs. the Knitters. Skeins and needles flew. Who would win? When the tangled strands finally settled, the answer was clear: The bikers had whipped the knitters asses but good.

What? Did you think this was going to have some sappy Hollywood ending?

Here are a few favorite extreme knitting projects:

Knitted ferrari - Art graduate Lauren Porter knitted a Ferrari sportscar for her honours degree at Bath Spa University.

Most people I know hate spoilers. They get really bent out of shape if you let it slip that, say, Bruce Willis was a dead guy. But illusions are immune. They go right to the total denial lobe of the brain, like a stubborn child who insists he wasn’t sneaking a cookie no matter how many times you point out that he is standing right there with a hand in the cookie jar and crumbs on his face.

I’m sure you’ve seen all the usual Optical Illusions, but I thought these were unusual enough to warrant a post:

1. What are you looking at? Are you SURE? Look closely. Now, back up about eight paces and look again. Told ya.

faces

2. Your eyes will keep on lying. I swear, it doesn’t make any difference how many times I test this image in Photoshop, my brain will not concede that squares A and B are the same color:

checker illusion

3. Name that tune. Listen to this. What’s the song? Now listen to this. Now go back to the first one and listen again. Here’s another one (you need stereo headphones for this one: Listen. Which tone is higher? How about this one? You’ll probably clearly hear one tone higher or lower, but your friend may hear the opposite. You’re both wrong.

4. Is it moving? This site has a very interesting collection of motion illusions along with explanations. Don’t miss the “Two-Stroke Motion” illusion at the bottom of the list.

Love Land, South KoreaYou have to go all the way to South Korea to see Love Land - a supposedly “educational” erotic theme park for lovers. The statuary is surreal: nipple mountains, heroic couples in every conceivable configuration, disembodied twined legs and phaluses rising from pools, something called “most big penis” - a vaguely alarming series of undulating, tessellated mounds in this photo.

What I want to know is, where are the rides?

Oh wait, here’s one.

Terror Alert JesusThe Threat Alert Jesus receives signals directly from the Dept. of Homeland Security and adjusts his halo to match the alert color. No more anxiety! I don’t know about you, but my anxiety level went right to RED when I saw it. Get a load of this family. You just know mom is the one here who bludgeoned the gang into this. (Dad: Keep smiling… keeeep smiling. There may be a blow job in this. Dad Jr: If anyone at school see this I am so dead. Jesus, just take me now. Little Timmy: I, Rasha, am a Serpent at the roadside. I have salvation before me in the name of the Most Holy Yat-Zebaoth, the All in One, One in All. Susie: Mommy, Jesus’ eyes have blue sclerae. Does he have pseudoxanthoma elasticum?
