  1. Models 4 Lyfe.

    Also, do you know what kind of tree that is in your photo up above? There are several of those on Fairfax just south of Santa Monica, and I pass them multiple times a week, and I always wondering what they’re called. I want them to be prickly pear trees, because they’re prickly, but I know they’re not. I tried Googling it, and I think they’re some kind of palm…but they don’t look like palms…or they could a silk floss tree, but I’m not sure they’re that either. Anyway. Raaaaamble. Bye.

    • Role modelz! I have no idea, but I would like to know, ’cause it was cool. I hadn’t seen those before!

  2. The photographer specializing in mom-having-sex photos creeps me out. I’d say that’s more dysfunctional than art. The doll island is scary, too! So much creepy in this weeks finds.

    • Haha, it was ever-so-slightly Halloween themed. But yeah. Agreed with you 100% on the photos. I still can’t wrap my mind around the weirdness.

  3. How has there not been a horror movie set on that creepy doll island yet?!? In fact, how has there not been a horror movie about that creepy photography project yet?!? So much potential.

    • John said the same thing about the doll island! There really should be. I’m not sure I’d want to see the mother/son movie, though haha.
