The Satorialist
I believe its been around for a while now, but The Satorialist is quickly becoming one of my favorite blogs. There are many reasons why I like it, and this is one of them. This guy, right ‘ere:
That is style. This man could rob a bank and probably just get a slap on the wrist.
The blog also features a collection of vintage photos submitted by readers that is just spectacular.

The Badass of the Week
I am not sure when the term was first coined, but I am of the theory that after every pair of eyes in Heaven saw the Archangel Michael kick the ever living shit out of that douchebag Lucifer for trying take God’s seat, God rightfully came along and told him, “You, my son, are a Badass.” - and then named him the Patron Saint of Badassitude, amongst other things. So, it is kind of...
how to go to church

bringtheruckuss:
go to bed early. if you fall asleep before communion you won’t get any magic juice and crackers.
try to dress up. god is a notorious fashionista. he hangs out with kathy griffin and makes fun of pleated pants.
bring a real bible. leave your iPhone with the bible app at home with your booze and dildos.
avoid the youth minister. he’s 39, bleaches his hair, wears crocs...
I think continually of those who were truly great. Who, from the womb, remembered the soul’s history Through corridors of light, where the hours are suns, Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition Was that their lips, still touched with fire, Should tell of the Spirit, clothed from head to foot in song. And who hoarded from the Spring branches The desires falling across their bodies like...
(Unforgettable) Plain, Train & Automobile (rides)
Plane: Flying over the Bahamas in a tiny, two engine plane on the sunniest day I have ever seen in my life. In some places, you could literally see to the bottom of the ocean floor. It was too loud inside the plane to say anything, but I’m pretty sure all were saying, “Fuck. Me.”
Train: Milan to Zürich - alone. A six hour train ride that takes you through Lake Como, the Alps,...

The Book of Gibson
One could very well say that the man was in a state of furious pomposity, belittling in spectacular fashion that which he now seems to find vulgar, weak and inferior. And, of course, it is not hard to suppose this, since verbal hostility between former lovers is generally considered to be the most vicious form of expression between two parties. It is perhaps then not surprising to see why so many...

Dear Coke Talk: On ethical consumption. →
You’ve been known to take a drug or two on occasion, and I feel like you’re someone whose behaviours are not lightly criticised by sensible persons. So perhaps you can clear this question up for me.
I wouldn’t buy ivory, eat a whale or wear conflict diamonds, so why am I ok with buying…
Jodie Foster
Clichés are terrible. And this is no exception. It was a week ago that I posted a small clip of Jodie Foster being interviewed on Inside the Actors Studio, thinking that it would be would be a rather nice addition to this time capsule of mine. You would think that someone like Jodie Foster would have very intricate and profound insights on acting and life in general. And yet, throughout the...
Lethargy
I never really knew what lethargy meant until I grew tired of everything. Tired of all, expect of that which perhaps could, “stimulate shit” (in the words of the immortal Martin Lawrence). And by lethargy I do not allude to ‘coolness’, but to the all-pervasive feeling of ‘exhaustion’. Complete and thorough. And, to be quite frank, I do not know if this is some...
Katherine Philips
Nobody really knows Katherine Phillips. Not that she’s alive, anyway. There’s a good three and a half centuries stuck right there between her death and our present time. In all cases, she was one of the foremost female writers of her time. So much so, that she was later copied by much, much more renowned writers. Which brings us to - nowhere now, because nobody writes like this...
AN INDEFINITE FAREWELL TO LOS ANGELES

July 2nd, 2010
I’ve waited in the loading zone at LAX for my boyfriend to pick me up, weighed down with luggage, sweating through a vintage shirtwaist dress. I’ve driven up Mullholland at dusk, smoking cloves and listening to the Twin Peaks soundtrack, then coming back down for onion rings and milkshakes at the 101. I’ve stood in a crowd at the...
