@ Bryan
Well now we’ve got the iconic Grace Jones. I presume ‘famous model posing nude’ falls under art, no? Also your comment about transparency is spot on. It’s also a lack of uptight modesty with youth today, there’s a punk attitude to it that challenges you. Just as punks in London back in 1975 would give you the “what are you staring at” sneer I feel that the girl in this picture is challenging us in the same way. You can choose to look or ignore her.

@Dave, I was thinking about that the other day. There is that generational cut-off point were kids or young adults’ lives are completely transparent. I would rather keep to myself. But that girl above can definitely keep on keepin on, if you know what I mean ;)

yeah, it’s racy but the mad decent parties are wild and crazy and their blog is where I found the music. Not sure what you mean about the “hard to trust” comment nor the “American Apparel aesthetic” comment. I’m coming at this more from the Shark Vs Bear aesthetic where I’m rather fascinated that, like the young lady pictured here, young people throw themselves in front of the camera with wild uncaring abandon and allow the resulting pics to be documented on the web….

that pic makes me feel alienated,
hard to trust any musician that can keep his food down around the american apparel aesthetic
