Ask Amy To Rape Victim: "First, You Were A Victim Of Your Own Awful Judgment"

Show some leg, show some arm, but not any more than that.

Terry Richardson

A woman called Dan Savage this week (Savage Lovecast Episode 160) to bitch about how her husband won't eat the fruit (and occasional vegetable) he fucks her with.
This is as good an explanation as any as to why we are doomed as a species.
Doomed.

Rob Lowe by Nan Goldin. Vanity Fair, February 1984

One of my first commercial assignments was to shoot Rob Lowe for Vanity Fair in 1983. It was in a hotel room in New York, and I was shocked at his lack of interior life: at one point I asked him to look introspective -- and he turned on the television. When he left, I invited my boyfriend up, we ordered lots of room service, champagne, pay-per-view movies, and spent the night. I didn't get much work from Vanity Fair after that.
