"We have one of those too!"
My cousin in the Philippines, who undoubtedly has heard from my visiting parents that I am a huge Obama supporter, just sent me pictures of this guy out there with an uncanny resemblance to #44.

It's very possible I had the most entertaining airplane safety rundown ever on my flight earlier today. The flight attendant, a truly fabulous guy in every sense of the word, peppered his usually boring speech with such quips as:
"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, high fashion masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, we're sorry."
"Exit lights will appear on the dirty blue carpet..."
"At this time, your flight crew will show you their armpits as they check to make sure your seat belts are fastened and that your shoes and socks match."
"Please make sure all your carry-ons are stowed above you in an overhead bin or under the seat in front of you, effectively giving you no leg room."
"During an emergency, listen to direction from uniformed cabin crew... don't mind us if you see us running around naked, though."
We all applauded him after it was done.
After we had landed and the pilot had turned off the seatbelt sign, he got on the mic again and just said these two words:
"Get out."

Sometimes I wonder, is my work beautiful because I'm beautiful?
I imagine that this is a huge production of a promo site for Digital Kitchen, a "marketing content partner" (according to their site). Regardless, Designer // Slash // Model is hilarious. It takes all the stereotypes of "creatives," knocks the snobbery, ridiculousness and stunning good looks up a thousand notches and throws them into an awesome site of models acting as designers who will change the "wolrd."
Dear Schnauss, what separates you from the rest? - Erica in Rome
Talent separates the designer slash models from the button-pusher slash models. You can have incredible bone structure and skin and know every piece of software and plug-in on the planet but if you don't "get it" viscerally you may as well be a crane operator slash model.
I fucking love it. Tomorrow I will wear all black and not smile all day just to honor this comedic genius of Designer // Slash // Model. I wish I could say that all design–excuse me, artists have razor sharp cheekbones, look awesome in slinky black dresses and can rock 80s hair better than you did in the 80s like these guys do. You know, the department you're hesitant to walk by because you know they're all a bunch of hipsters in skinny jeans listening to indie rock at not-work-appropriate levels? But really, we're more likely to be the group that comes into work late, stays 3 hours over, wears kooky t-shirts with obscure typography references on them with bags under our eyes and too much caffeine running through our veins.
