Can someone please help me out?

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what in the hell this tattoo is supposed to be.  Please jump and take a gander at the upper thigh tattoo of Amber Rose, girlfriend to Kanye West.  I have looked at older pictures and it’s not there, so this is a new bad decision she’s made.

My guess?  Cat poop.

An Open Letter to Usher, Hilary Duff, Terrence Howard, Roseanne, Kanye, etc…..

March 5, 2009 at 3:50 pm (Uncategorized) (, , , , , , , )

Please, do us all a solid, and shut the fuck up about Chris Brown and Rihanna.  You’re taking a traumatic experience that two people were involved in and turning it into a fucking dog-and-pony show where you get to have your name in the blogosphere for a brief moment.  A man beating a woman is not “your issue”, it’s their lives, and it has literally nothing to do with you.  You don’t have “a responsibility” to say something supporting either side, they’re not running for office.  They are embroiled in some heavy shit that doesn’t involve you.  If you want to get involved with the larger issue of domestic violence, go for it.  Give some money to a shelter, give some money to batterers’ groups, but please, just put some money where your mouth is now flapping.   When we want to hear you speak about domestic violence, well….we won’t.  I promise.

You’ll probably just end up backtracking and apologizing anyway.

Love always,

Gynomite

The History of the Autotuner

After hearing Kanye’s newest album, I decided I wanted to learn a little bit about this magical device we call an autotuner.  No reason.  Just thought of it randomly.

Art, as approved by Kanye West

June 26, 2008 at 8:15 am (pop culture) (, , , , , )

A few weeks ago we went to the Takashi Murakami exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, which is a quick and lovely 15 minute walk from our apartment. As a complete noob of an art appreciator, I must say that it is completley badass.

This is Takashi Murakami, a Japanese born and bred artist who has helped to develop the Superflat art style in Japan, which acknowledged a movement toward mass-produced entertainment and its effects on contemporary aesthetics. His stuff is anime, pop-arty, and highly and weirdly sexual. He designs handbags for Louis Vuitton, and thus one whole room of his exhibit is an actual Louis Vuitton bag shop, where you can buy the bags off the wall.
