Friday, December 31. 2010Charles Addams' Birthday minus SevenSeventh January 2011 is Chas Addams' birthday and Chas Addams' birthday is really exciting. Will Google change their logo for that? No, but surely they'd do that in 2012, for Charles Addams' 100 years, as I searched but couldn't find any Addams' commemorative logo from Before. Oh. My. God. Can't stop searching stuffs and reading stuffs on him and by him, ever worst than habitual. Dear God. Dear God. Oh my God! I hope you take into account he is wearing a Fourth Doctor-like scarf before the Doctor, has a fucking lot of books and batty bibelot. I love bats. I saw a white cap and told myself I could disguise as a nothern ghost bat (Diclidurus virgo, gentlemen) and live my day hanging alone upside down in my cave (uh, batcave!) eating insects, but I like insects so I'd rather be a Carollia perspicillata because its French vernacular name offers some nice pun! (ended with me not buying the cap)

Sunday, December 26. 2010Tap Dancing in the Night
Tap Dancing in the Night is a "child book" by Martha Kate Downey (published by Phat Art 4), along with other persons, about Asperger Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder and High Functioning Autism.
It feels quite artisanal, being composed of amateur texts and illustrations and childs' poems and texts and testimonials (témoignages or however you say that in english). Really a beautiful book, not disagreeable to read (I mean, agreeable to read.) Martha Kate Downey isn't a psychiatrist or something like that, just a mother of. You can download it here. It'd be fun to make an aspie read this so you can laugh at him, mock while he's crying! (yeah, that's ironic)

Monday, December 20. 2010Omar K. Moore
I discovered sociologist Omar K. Moore in some article on tomate.poivron.org
Back then, we didn't find a lot on him during a Google-search. It changed ! His ideas on reading-learning matches much more my empiric experiences than Dehaene, which seems not to be a good thing to say. Gonna browse all the Surface Interweb for him!

Saturday, December 18. 2010Social Skins« Mary Douglas's work, as well as feminist deconstructions of the meanings contained in representations of the female body, inspired a generation of anthropologists and cultural theorists to explore the human body as a text that can be read to reveal a great deal of cultural information. This symbolic function of the body applies not only to the taboos and rituals described by Douglas, but to parts of the body, to representations of the human body—in artworks, medical texts, racial ideology, and advertisements—and to decorations and modifications of the flesh, from ornaments, hair fashion, cosmetics, masking, costuming, tattooing, piercing, and scarification, to body fattening or thinning, muscular development, and cosmetic surgery. However extreme or seemingly whimsical the practice, it always has meaning, always is shaped by the sociocultural context in and through which people act. Anthropologist Terence Turner called this dimension of the body the "social skin" a concept that applies just as aptly to the nineteenth-century corset and twentieth-century implants as to the traditional neck rings of the Karen peoples of Burma or lip plugs of the Amazonian Kayapo. » Read more: The Body - The Social Skin - Traditional, Modifications, Cultural, Racial, Example, and Meanings « Finding ways to express yourself in a socially acceptable way may be hard when you're filled with emotions. Social Skin is series of moving accessories that help to improve the communication between people by expressing these emotions. The project resulted in three prototypes, out of which two are conceptual prototypes and the third, a necklace, is fully functional. » Social Skin Emotional Accessories « L’analyse culturelle ne considère pas la culture comme un système figé qui gouverne les actions des individus en modelant leur personnalité, mais comme un cadre de référence, certes donné, mais que les individus façonnent et transforment au cours de leurs interactions. Elle part des individus qui construisent le sens de leurs actions selon les exigences du contexte social dans lequel ils se trouvent. Dans leurs transactions, ils mobilisent des valeurs et des principes qui leur permettent d’agir avec les autres et de justifier leurs actions selon des modalités qui puissent être comprises et acceptées par les autres. Ces unités de culture sont une composante active dans les négociations entre les individus lorsqu’ils cherchent à produire un sens partagé. Elles présentent une certaine plasticité dont l’analyse culturelle cherche à rendre compte en faisant appel aux orientations et aux contraintes que présente le contexte social. » L’analyse culturelle de Mary Douglas : une contribution à la sociologie des institutions « Social Skin is a project by Seçil Ugur and Laura Duncker, made at the Wearable Senses research theme at the Industrial Design department at the Technical University of Eindhoven, in collaboration with Florian Neveu (technology) and supervised by Stephan Wensveen. They are the first prototypes in Seçil's continuing research for her PhD in Design at the Politecnico di Milano, supervised by Raffaella Mangiarotti (Design Faculty), Monica Bordegoni, Umberto Cugini and Marina Carulli (Mechanical Engineering Department). » Social Skin Emotional Accessories

Photo de Karl Lagerfeld sans lunettes, jeune et/ou gros.Now, stop falling there searching for pictures of Karl Lagerfeld without glasses, Young Karl Lagerfeld, "wet karl largarfelt" or fat Karl Lagerfeld. Search for Fake Karl, seriously. Also want some pictures of YSL/KL after International Wool Scretariat annual contest? Foundation PB YSL (ACRNMRSoFN) Yves is *happy*, he just won first and third places on some dress category stuff. Also got a photography of him costuming little young Nicolas Sarkozy, along with his (Yves') friendoes Victoire & Pierre Bergé (alias PBG, just jokin' around). Also got picture of young KL dressed as young YSL. Thursday, December 16. 2010Colors are for people with no inner life and low imaginationJust worn to show the monster who takes the photo, if I could go back in time and kill Hitler I'd wear both straps on the left side. Blouse and bermudas are from BetaBoutique.etsy.com; paid via Paypal, came wrapped in bubbly packpaper or whatever you call it, then inside it was wrapped in giftwrapper... along with a discount coupon for next time (duuuh.)! Normally, I don't wear colors but this idiocy of bermuda shorts is giving me ideas. I'm not okay with this outfit, but it was better with my shoes and big white socks.
