Friday Ephemera
36 Hitchcock murder scenes climaxing in unison. // The malls of America, 1990. // Gas tanks of note. // Skyscrapers sway, Shinjuku, March 11 2011. // There’s honey in that tube. // Gloves of note. // How globes are made. // Brain bulb. // Miracle breakthrough in pillow technology. // Ordynskaya Cave, Russia. // Viewing platform, Aurland. (h/t, dicentra) // Earshell. // Horizonville. // “Homeownership and college aren’t causes of middle-class status, they’re markers for possessing the kinds of traits that let you enter, and stay, in the middle class.” // Tour the Large Hadron Collider. // And behold the Cyclotrope, a modified bicycle wheel.
That tamandua is absurdly cuter than any Earth creature has a right to be…
The huge claws don’t look cute.
“The malls of America, 1990”
Wow. 21 years is a long time…
“Wow. 21 years is a long time…”

We can only hope for a revival of the Peggy Bundy look.
“The huge claws don’t look cute.”

So, Julia. Were you ever a Big Hair Gal?
Do kids now even know what backcombing is?
What about you, David? Ever been tempted? 😉
“Ever been tempted?”
No, I never had big hair myself, despite hitting puberty in the era of techno-pop. Though as a callow youth I did spend many hours waiting for female friends who were preparing for an evening on the town and backcombing furiously, the air practically sticky with industrial-strength hair lacquer.
“So, Julia. Were you ever a Big Hair Gal?”
Sadly, no… 🙁
