Nostalgic for the Halloweens of my childhood. Our Jack-O-Lantern blow mold always lit the front windows. I love this guy. (Photo is not mine). #halloween

Not a NYer, so don’t get to vote in your mayoral, but if I could, Mamdani would get my vote. That being said, I think to myself, β€˜WHY is there so much opposition to this guy?’ when I know full well that it’s straight up bigotry. It’s exhausting.

I love him because he's naked in like, 75% of his photos. The gift that keeps on giving. And he's gorgeous.

He did have a wig for the later seasons, both 4 and 5. It was subtle, but if you look at photos from earlier seasons, it’s quite different from his natural hair.

"Enthroned in the middle of an open-air chapel, the Virgin and Child are flanked by two music-making angels, the holy king of France Saint Louis, and Saint Margaret. Sumptuously dressed, she rises unharmed from the broken shell of the dragon that swallowed her. Of the two angels, one plays a mouth harp while the other holds a song book, inscribed with an identifiable Marian hymn, Ave Regina Caelorum, Mater regis angelorum. (Hail, Queen of Heaven, Hail, Lady of Angels.) The musical notation, however, is fanciful." -NG

The jazz channel informs me today is the great Stevie Wonder's 75th birthday. Here are two of my favorites: the first, 'As,' performed by the man, himself. And the second, 'Golden Lady,' a pretty cover, performed by Kurt Elling.

This one looks shopped also. Their bodies look airbrushed, and not like they were actually sitting in that raft.

This is beside the point, but why does this pic look shopped? The lighting is weird: He has cast shadows on the left side of his face; she does not. Did they put a softbox on her? Did they shoot them individually and then mash it together in photoshop? It looks funky.
