When I was a kid there was a nice old guy who lived up the street and he drove and El Camino.  I kind of thought El Caminos were crazy awesome looking and I didn’t get why adults would always kind of chuckle in an, “One of those? Wow, go figure” sort of way when they would see it.  Anyway, he was very nice, he was good with tools, he helped me build a bird house once when I became obsessed with building birdhouses.  Emilia Clarke has had a lot of really good photo shoots appear lately and that first picture I posted really took a hold of me and I wasn’t sure why at first until I realized that I’m mostly sure she’s leaning on an El Camino.  I didn’t consciously realize it but my subconscious must have, nostalgia is a powerful drug and built into our very core as humans.  It starts from our creation myths on, the world used to be a paradise but now that’s lost.  Things used to be better.  The great driving force of the middle ages was an attempt to recapture the stability and wonder of a lost Roman Empire, some of that glory real, some imagined.  We all know old people so happy to tell us that the world has turned to shit and isn’t the utopia it was when they were kids.  So the fact that some of her photos have been retro-tinged feels like part of the appeal.  The instagramification of photography makes sense in general because of that but it especially makes sense for an actress who plays a girl trying to reform a kingdom that was once glorious and is now in ruins.  There used to be dragons.  She is stuck on a continent that was once powerful and glorious, full of ruins of older civilizations.  And she is going to bring it back.  Because the only thing more powerful than nostalgia is someone who can make you believe they can bring it back.  It’s how most dictators manage to rise to power actually, they promise not the future but the past.  Not that I think Emilia Clarke is a dictator, sure I’d get on my knees for her if she asked but that’s a whole other thing and I do try not to be crude here, I am just saying that it can be a powerful drug to make someone wistful for something that may not have even existed. And she is a beautiful woman and a fine actress and she carries with her all the comes with loving the character she plays.  And she is really pretty. That is also a big part of why she is here.  Today I want to fuck Emilia Clarke.
