weakend - luther
These summer weeks just fly by and mid day rain storms and bar-b-ques don't help, but hopefully this weekend will be a time to slow down and enjoy some of the residual texas burn. Labor day marks the beginning of the end of super hot weather, so we should celebrate with some indoor options for the three day weekend... like blogs!
- Sexy People seems to have been around a while, but my Lord, is it thoroughly entertaining. Always good for a morning pick-me-up, this 'blog' (it's really just a consistently updated website) is a "celebration of the perfect portrait"; in other words, it's a collection of terrible studio portraits from every decade.
- Apparently classic to many in the graphic arts community, I recently was informed of the wonder that is Photoshop Disasters, a genius little site that points out the obvious over sites of commercial Photoshop abusers. Everything from celebrity magazines to the Microsoft website is fair game for images ether rushed out on deadline or blatantly neglected by their respective graphics department. Funny if your an average joe, extra funny if your an avid user (but aren't we all?).
And, of course, the only indoor activity that might verge on as much exercise as something you might be doing outdoors, the dance party. Car Stereo (Wars)'s Chris is back from his Eurotrip (no doubt a carbon copy of the classic, tasteful film) and is back at, where else, the Beauty Bar with an impressive lineup. Accompanied by allaround cool guy Bird Peterson, fresh off keeping the beer flowing at our boat party, and the recently resurrected and better than ever the Laughing. It should be a great way to truly celebrate our nation's fine and honorable labor.
