Amish Chic

I have a confession to make here.

Harpers magazine has recently been warning its readers about fraudulent a subscription service selling fake subscriptions to their magazine. I was a victim of this fraud. The result:

A 3-year subscription to Harpers Bazaar magazine. In case you’re unaware, HB is a fashion magazine aimed at 40-50 year old women. Every month it arrives in my mailbox, big, thick, glossy and smelling of perfume. Even with the shame and confusion I feel seeing my name stamped on the thing every month, I have a bizarre fascination with it. Because of this, I haven’t actually cancelled my subscription just yet. After all, who can cancel a magazine that comes with articles about pants written by Puff Daddy? (he referred to himself in the 3rd person 6 different times in 6 different names… in the first sentence.)

Which brings me to this month, where on the pages of HB I found the photo spread of a new ‘look’ among a certain segment of the population: Amish chic.

No this isn’t a misconceived SNL skit… it’s real and therefore actually funny. With no further commentary here’s the spread. (Photos by Peter Lindbergh… man that guy must have some stories)

A few minutes ago I was standing in line at the local corner grocery, staring at the halva and fig bars and waiting to pay my 99 cents for a bottle of white vinegar, when the person in front of me said something that caught my ear.

“American Spirit Organic, please.”

American Spirit is a brand of cigarette. The company used to be owned by Native Americans, but recently went the way of Ben & Jerry’s. My first reaction to the organic blend cigarette was, holy crap that’s unbelievably stupid. My reaction has changed very little over the past few minutes.

I smoked for 10 years. At the end I even bought an additive free brand… I can see how, if I still smoked, if faced with the option and if there wasn’t a price difference, I might even go for the organic… but as an outsider looking in. Organic cigarettes? It’s like inflating the tires in your Hummer to get better gas mileage or voting for the Green Party.

Maybe I’m just becoming an asshole non-smoker. O’well. That’s all for now.

The strangest thing happened the other day. I read this post over on Albert’s site. I went and voted for his photo and decided to look further into JPG magazine. I registered and started wondering what photos I could put up. I thought of my recent trip to Montreal and then of this image… a ‘classic’ looking shot. Just as the thought was passing through my head, I clicked on the next gallery and saw this.

It’s not like this is a shot everyone in Montreal takes, this is a completely random alley. In Philly terms you can compare it to the 300 block of south Camac Street… cute, but completely arbitrary. Here you go, for comparison:

This afternoon I was lost in Delaware. Looking for a place to turn around, I pulled into a driveway and up a short hill into what I discovered was a church parking lot and graveyard. Many of the graves dated back to the early 19th century. The church was extremely modest and really very beautiful. As far as I could tell I was completely alone in the place.

I love old graveyards and couldn’t remember the last time I explored one. I got out of the car with my camera and spent about 5 minutes walking around the old grave markers and taking photos. It was peaceful, quiet. An hour and a half later I got a telephone call from my sister. An hour and a half earlier, she said, my grandfather passed away.

I won’t lie and say we were close, because we weren’t. There wasn’t animosity or a bad relationship; there just wasn’t a warm or particularly familial one. We never got to know one another and now we never will. For me that’s the saddest part. It also makes the loss an abstraction. It makes it a loss of something I didn’t have. What I can take away from it is the thought that my future children (if they exist) deserve to have what I didn’t.

The photo was taken almost 2 years ago, just after Thanksgiving dinner. The photo isn’t pretty, but it is honest.

Jevon Kearse is my favorite Eagle. As bad as last Sunday was, it was especially painful seeing him go down in an OT that never should have been. The photo above is Kearse doing what so many people, (pro athlete or not) just don’t; working hard when he doesn’t have to, taking the time to stop, listen and be kind to his fellow citizen and doing these simple things without an ounce of pretension.

The photo is from the Mural Arts Program/Philadelphia Eagles, Eagles Day; an annual event that aims to beautify one lucky Philly public school. 2006 chose the Heston school at 54th and Lancaster. For a full report and photoessay of that day, click here.

For 3 days I suffered from tinnitus, aka a constant and ceaseless ringing in the ear/s. Tinnitus, like paralysis, degenerative nerve disease or permanent hiccups has always been on the short list of my personal nightmare diseases. Fortunately my affliction seems to be temporary and sinus/allergy related. But it’s also made me a little lazy. Or maybe I’m lazy for other reasons and just don’t feel like writing something of my own about an objectively fascinating subject. For now, please enjoy this article that someone else wrote:

Creepy Experiment Exposes Paranoia and Sense of Alien Control

The young woman went to doctors to have them probe her brain, to root out where her seizures came from. But unexpectedly, their investigations and the procedure they performed led her to experience the creepy illusion of a person standing behind her, where nobody was actually present

The patient described the illusory person as young and of indeterminate sex, a “shadow” who did not speak or move. “He is behind me, almost at my body, but I do not feel it,” she reported.

When the patient sat and embraced her knees with her arms, she noted the “man” was now also sitting and clasping her in his arms, which she described as unpleasant… (rest of article)

Directly related to complaints of coke/crack and possibly meth sales near my place of employment and yesterday’s related complaint that someone stole my bike seat, comes this morning’s news that someone was shot in the head and killed at exactly the spot I was so concerned about. (phillyblog thread)

This is the type of shit I was afraid was going to start happening. Hard drug sellers and addicts are cancer to a neighborhood. Now another man dies violently. This is shit. Hopefully this is the peak of degradation on that particular block. That’s all for now…
