I felt a haunting loneliness sometimes

... He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . and one fine morning

- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. - F. Scott Fitzgerald


The Great Gatsby was published on this date in 1925.

Major Fashion Faux Pas

There is no good Fashion reason to wear this item

I can barely think of a good sexual reason to use it (and believe me -  I have a very good imagination.)

This is just so wrong

In China, the new meme of the day is to slip pantyhose (which must, in and of itself, be a neat trick) onto your family's dog and photograph it

At least, this time, it's not us.

Free O.G. Mally

Last week, Justin Bieber flew to Munich to put on a few performances as part of his world tour. He did what all 19 year pop-star teen idols do; he brought his baby capuchin monkey O.G. Mally with him. What he did not do, like most 19 year old pop-star teen idol with good management would have done; he forgot the necessary papers to bring the monkey in and out of Germany. (One thing you should always remember - when in Germany and someone in a uniform shouts, "Papers", you damn well better have them.)

The Brown Shirts, I mean the animal shelter where Mally is being held announced it would give Justin Bieber (who's performing tonight in Frankfurt) four weeks to return to Munich with the necessary paperwork to claim his monkey; otherwise O.G. will be remanded to a work camp, I mean a European zoo.

And now you know

 Life among the royals:

According to the website - 19th Century Photos:

On July 5, 1866 the impecunious Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg was married to Queen Victoria’s third daughter, Princess Helena, the Queen making it a condition of her permission that the couple would make England their principal home. The bridegroom was fifteen years older than the bride and was generally acknowledged to be very boring. He smoked incessantly, which made him cough, and his teeth were bad. He had very little hair and hardly any money. He had only one eye and at dinner parties would order a footman to bring a tray containing his glass eyes, the history of each he would then explain at great length – his favourite being a blood-shot one he wore when he had a cold.

This is another sign of the apocalypse
