i’m addicted to andrea gibson
Thanks to an alert reader, it has come to our attention that the induced miscarriage project we reported on a few days ago was a hoax. Aliza Shvarts, the artist responsible for the induced miscarriage project, was apparently shitting us; personally I think it’s just as effective, while at the same time being way less gross. (Blood and vaseline? Yick…) The ‘project’ still sparked a lot of debate for a lot of people on a myriad of topics. I’m thrilled.
In other news, this is my favourite old ratty sweater (beware, photo is three years old; sweater is older). Spring is springing in Vancouver. I went for a great fast-paced bike ride yesterday with a friend - and was left craving more. So many of my pals like slow, leisurely rides, but I like to go super fast. I also really enjoy turning left at roundabouts. The precise control of skirting them in a three-quarter circle on my track bike is quite delightful.
When I went to see Why? at the Media Club in Vancouver on April 16th I was totally blown away by the opening band, Brasstronaut. I didn’t have the money on me for an EP at the show so I contacted Brasstronaut’s vocalist and keyboardist, Edo Van Breemen, who hooked me up this week. I highly recommend checking this band out if you like jazz, or indie, or indie jazz, or good music in general. I think it’s quite lovely.
Another band that I somehow just started digging today is Mose Giganticus out of Philly. They deftly combine elements of electronic synth, punk and metal for some truly amazing songs. If they’re coming through your city, be sure to check them out; they’re touring this June.
I’m currently trying to raise funds to get to San Francisco Pride this year. Want to help fund my hot babe habit? Of course you do.
Hey - if you’re in a link clicking mood anyway - I love Andrea Gibson. She makes my heart go thump-thump.

…another blog I’ve been digging recently is malloreigh.com. It deftly combines elements of radness, awesomeness, and politeness. I’m going on tour this June, so I’ll be trying to catch up with her.

I’d donate if I weren’t saving up for my own vacation.
I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time in San Francisco.
BTW, I hope you’ll document it with your photography.
I think you’re great with style/fashion photography, but I like your P/J style photography better.

It’s the thought that counts.
I will have a wonderful time; I always do. Whether I document it with my photography depends on whether I get a new zoom lens by then… but here’s hoping. It’d be a shame to miss out on so many photo opportunities.
Do I ever shoot style/fashion photography? I don’t feel like I do, but I have a limited/biased perspective of my own work.
Thanks.
