warrenellis: Pro-Pussy Riot protestors (Reuters) Pussy Riot’s closing statement by Yekaterina Samutsevich via BoingBoing’s Cory Doctorow Why did Putin feel the need to exploit the Orthodox religion and its aesthetics? In the end, considering all the irreversible political and symbolic losses caused by our innocent creativity, the authorities decided to protect the public from us and our nonconformist thinking. On the one hand, we now expect a guilty verdict. Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies, and we have lost. On the other hand, we have won.

Why did Putin feel the need to exploit the Orthodox religion and its aesthetics?

In the end, considering all the irreversible political and symbolic losses caused by our innocent creativity, the authorities decided to protect the public from us and our nonconformist thinking.

On the one hand, we now expect a guilty verdict. Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies, and we have lost. On the other hand, we have won.

Beach Essentials in China: Flip-Flops, a Towel and a Ski Mask by Dan Levin

“A woman should always have fair skin,” one mask-wearing bather explained. “Otherwise people will think you’re a peasant.”

Probably the same reason why Japan’s Geishas and 18th century French royalty painted their face white : “Otherwise people will think you’re a peasant.” !!!

Charles Fréger via Sean O’Hagan in The Guardian: Savage, beautiful and surviving: photos from the wild side That the “wild man” is flickering back into life surely tells us something about our need for myth, ritual and tradition.

Savage, beautiful and surviving: photos from the wild side

That the “wild man” is flickering back into life surely tells us something about our need for myth, ritual and tradition.
