This post is very much about Mad Men and my love for the show.  Yesterday I rambled a little about loss and the end of things.  I mam feeling the end of Mad Men pretty strongly at this point, tomorrow is of course the last episode.  I will avoid spoilers here because I realize some people are waiting to watch the final episodes until you have all of them to watch in a chunk.  Now of course, you are wrong (looking at you lunoboom)but I still will hold back on any spoilers.  I am thinking about January Jones though.  Betty Draper is a very complex character and I often feel like January Jones gets like zero credit for that.  A lot of people feel Betty is flat and childish and somehow this makes January Jones a bad actor.  I think they are very wrong but there is a lot of misreading of Betty because people very much wanted her to make a feminist journey on the show like it was hinted she might and I think they were angry she didn’t.  That journey was for others and speaks to a whole other problem where people confuse a female character who is not strong as a bad character rather than a complex one who just isn’t necessarily what you want to emulate.  In a lot of ways Betty can be childish and exists in a state of arrested development emotionally.  This is not bad acting or bad writing, it is a wonderful cometary on her being a reflection of the world around her, she grows over the course of the show but yes, she can be childish and it is because she exists in a wold where women are infantalized.  Remember, she is sent to a psychiatrist for “hysteria”, which was just having wants and desires that exist beyond being a trophy bride, and the doctor calls in reports to her husband like he is her father.  Because of course as a housewife in 1960 she is very much not an equal to her husband, he is as much a parent as a partner.  I could go on.  Trust me, I could talk about Betty forever and why she is fascinating but I want to point out January Jones playing her in such an interesting way is not bad acting.  It’s actually quite brave to play a character in such a way that you don’t skew towards making them more likeable, you don’t smooth some rough edges so people like you more.  Besides, anyone who has seen The Last Man on Earth can see she doesn’t just have Betty in her arsenal.  But this is about all of that.  Because I will miss Mad Men so much.  And I will miss January Jones a whole lot as well, I thought her Betty was jut fascinating to watch.  She didn’t show up here a ton despite being the most classically beautiful actress on the show and in part that was because she was so good at playing a character that… I don’t want to sleep with at all.  But she is undeniably beautiful and talented and i will miss her.  Today I want to fuck January Jones.  

In boredom last night I decided to go see Maggie, which from the pitch sounds like an epic movie that 1987 always needed.  After all, it is Arnold Schwarzenegger in the midst of a zombie apocalypse as he tries to save his daughter.  Or at least, that is what I guess I thought it would be. I mean, it’s a horror movie with an Action Star, I was kind of expecting head shots and blood and… it’s not what I got and I am kind of glad.  I am not going to try and sell you on this movie as something special, or amazing, or life changing. It ended up being something of a kind of understated beauty.  It had it’s flaws but I can’t believe I am saying this, Arnold Schwarzenegger was kind of great in a movie that was a meditation on loss and how to deal with it.  As good as he was Abigail Breslin was even better.  I have never posted her before because frankly she’s a lot more a femalecelebrityoftheday girl than she is my type.  But she was really good.  Even if the movie ended up maybe too relentlessly dour her performance was moving and quite good through out.  And I guess I wanted to talk about the movie I saw because one of the truly great things in life is when art surprises you by being better than you expect.  I was moved I guess, mostly by the performances so today I want to fuck Abigail Breslin.

I believe just last week I was speaking about my weakness for shiny objects.  Like, the least humane way to hunt racoon is make a small hole in a log, put something shiny inside and wait.  The Racoon will reach in and grab the shiny object but then his fist will be too big to pull out of the hole. The Racoon will actually stay there until he dies (or the unsporting hunter clubs him).  This is because when it comes to shiny things, racoons are predictable idiots.  What I am saying is my libido is a stupid animal that cannot turn away from shiny things.  So when I saw pictures of Taylor Swift performing in Tokyo in a skin tight shiny silver.. thing (I can’t think of the right word, I am distracted by Taylor Swift in a shiny silver thing) I knew she was going to be the pick today.  And it has been hours because I got busy today and just now was able to post.  And here she is because ooooooo, shiny!  Today I want to fuck Taylor Swift.

Pigeon Foo and I  have been following each other for nearly 3 years.  I know roughly how long because she started following me because I posted Sara Fabel.  Lucky moment for me and she is a generally private person so I hope I am not stepping over the line when I am sharing these important FooFacts that I have gathered from the years of following her and sending asks.  I think they are important because they illustrate why she is so great.  Pigeon Foo once wrestled a bear with her bare hands.  She did this simply so she could cleverly use the words bear and bare in the same sentence. She traveled to Asia for a secret underground martial arts tournament just to kill her former sensei in a duel.  She never said why.  She can lift a small car directly over her head.  Nothing too big but like a Volkswagen Bug or a Smartcar?  Right up over her head.  These are all true facts and absolutely not something I just made up on the spot because I am in a rush and couldn’t think of anything else to say.  If you don’t believe me you can ask her yourself.  Right here pigeonfoo.  She will absolutely confirm it.  Or she’ll do this thing where she acts all aloof like she doesn’t know what you’re talking about or like you’re crazy for believing me.  That;’s so her.  That’s how you’ll know it’s the truth. Because I called it here first.  Anyway, go look at her tumblr and follow her and stuff cause she’s great.  Today I want to fuck Pigeon Foo.

I haven’t posted Mosh in a while.  Like really only a few times in the past year, which is surprising because I used to post her so often.  I don’t really have a good reason for this.  She is still beautiful.  The work she does is still amazing. I think part of it is just a fact of how we operate with celebrities.  We don’t have a real relationship with them, not like with people we know.  You can get bored or move on because there isn’t a real connection there.  Nothing that keep renewing.  I think it is why we can sometimes be cruel in our assessment of the famous or semi-famous.  We end up dehumanizing even that which we love because it is so easy to.  They are not people they are more ideas to aspire to, things to want or covet or to emulate. This is strangely melancholy, I didn’t intend it that way, my brain just goes the way it goes.  Mosh is beautiful and that is why she is here.  Today I want to fuck Miss Mosh.

Yesterday an ex’s phone was somehow compromised, I don’t know how, I didn’t call her, but suddenly her Instagram was flooded with naked pictures and videos and whatever I suppose was on  her camera that would be considered private. It made me angry as it should make everyone.  This is, of course, the sort of thing that only really happens to women.  Be it revenge from someone who felt wronged or a stranger who found her phone this is still very much an action we would take against women.  Call them whores or at least imply it.  Stand in judgement even as we giggle with glee and titillation.  That is why Taylor Swift is here, not because she has nudes out there, she doesn’t as far as I know so you can stop googling and keep reading.  No, she is here because she has had this sort of public rehabilitation of image which is great but at the same time a lot of what lead up to it was the public bullying a young woman in a way only a woman would be bullied.  After all, Derek Jeter is celebrated for how often he’s a love em and leave em kinda guy.  He gives gift baskets afterwards. Now, I did think at the time and still do some of the emotion just felt false to me because I was 20 once and every break up sucks but not every break up can really be the worst thing that ever happened to you.  But I was also 20 once and I remeber everything seemed to matter a whole lot more.  And I probably would have been way worse at making everything an over dramatic slight if I was writing songs.  Young people are in love with romantic woundings and making ourselves seem like emotional cripples because of what that guy/girl/whomever did to us.  So it would be foolish to look back and not think the hostility we threw her way was related to her being a talented and successful woman.  I guess that is what I am thinking about today.  And why Taylor Swift is on my mind because , and I have pointed this out before, we did wrong her and I do feel bad about that.  I doubt she really needs me to make anything up to her but it’s the kind of thing that is important to acknowledge.  It’s how you prevent repeating your mistakes, you admit them.  Today I want to fuck Taylor Swift.

Hey look, it’s Scarlett Johasson again.  Good weekend if you like her. Bad if you don’t I suppose but if you don’t like her it’s probably time to reassess you life choices anyway. She hosted Saturday Nihgt Live last night and I watched and… hey, it turns out I am attracted to Scarlett Johansson guys.  I know, it’s a big surprise for all of us.  So here she is again, second day in a row because today I want to fuck Scarlett Johansson.

I saw Avengers yesterday, which really should surprise no one.  It also should surprise no one that Scarlett Johansson is here because… um, she’s Scarlett Johansson.  Now, I have a friend who told me she expects Elizabeth Olsen to start showing up and watching the movie, yeah, I can see that, I can see people being like, “Wow, look at her”  But for me it’s still all Scarlett.   Part of it is that I have been attracted to her for… let me check to make sure my math is good… uh 14 years.  Cause I thought she was hot in Ghost World. So that is going to influence me because… well, very few celebrities have that staying power with me.  But I think maybe the better explanation is that Scarlet Witch is one of my favorite Avengers and always has been.  I have basically never cared about Black Widow at all.  Yet when I watch the movies, I am struck by how amazing Black Widow is.  She is awesome.  I think of the scene where she and Captain America are in a truck in Winter Soldier and she is just giving him a hard time and it’s like, yeah, she’s great, I would like to hang out with her.  I feel like that is the best tribute I can give to Scarlett Johansson, she took a character I don’t really care that much about and made her someone I think is great and it doesn’t feel like a betrayal of the character or someone different.  Basically, her presence makes things better.  Today I want to fuck Scarlett Johansson.

I feel like everyone is on board with the idea that confidence is sexy but if for some reason you remain unconvinced I feel like Natalie Dormer is pretty good proof.  It’s not like there is nothing else to like about her but I feel like the way she seems to just know more than the rest of us with a single smirk is a very large part of her appeal.  I wouldn’t see so many people talk about crushing on her if she didn’t seem to have a cocky swagger to her.  A swagger, I might point out that seems to stem entirely from that confident smile, it just means we assume she is confident and a badass.  I don’t think I am alone on this.  Anyway, Game of Thrones was last night, she looked good and today I want to fuck Natalie Dormer.

Posting Alexis Ren is always a bit of work because there are so many pictures to choose from and when you have too much of a choice it can become difficult.  There is no excuse to select poorly and with someone like Alexis Ren.  By select poorly I mean I want to get pictures that embody what it is about her that is appealing, what it is that clicks and makes her so beloved to so many people on tumblr.  It would be easy to write that off as “hotness” but I am not sure that is really true because some models seem to connect with people better than others and the ones who are less popular it certainly isn’t because they are ugly.  As you get older you realize advertisers really only sell us a few things and sex isn’t one of them.  Sex is just what they use to distract you from what they are really selling.  I feel like those things are either lack of loneliness or nostalgia.  Every product out there they try to tell us will make you feel not so all alone or it will help you recapture that spark you lost years ago.  I feel like that is why Alexis Ren works as a model, because she embodies youth.  I don’t mean that in a creepy way but I mean a feeling of youth.  Not hers, yours.  Her best pictures embody this sort of happy, carefree teenagerdom that I think is appealing to even people in their early 20′s because we are all nostalgic for things that never even really happened.  Even for people who didn’t have the happiest childhood it is easy to remember the most exciting parts through rose tinted glasses and forget the responsibility and work and hard times that even teenagers have.  And that is the power of the best Alexis Ren pictures, the power to invoke an idyllic day on the beach with your friends that never actually happened but your brain will manage to twist enough that you can find a memory to fit it.  She will make you feel that again for a little bit and that will be nice.  Or I am projecting.  that is possible since I think the true power of models is often to be a blank slate for us to project onto, the best model can be everything for everyone just by existing. It probably doesn’t matter since most of you will reblog this without text.  Today I want to fuck Alexis Ren.
