Meet the seven women, aka the Dapper Chicks, inspiring menswear fans everywhere 

These are the Dapper Chicks. They’re a group of women in New York who have found a place in the heart of thousands who follow their Instagram and blog. The informal coalition of seven dress exclusively in menswear. Think suits, ties, Oxford shoes and the perfect pocket squares. But they’re not only celebrating great-looking clothing, they’re fighting for meaningful causes.

I thought this was a startup that specialized in setting up those “HEY LOOK AT HOW DIVERSE OUR CAMPUS IS AND ALSO EVERY ONE IS GOOD LOOKING AND NOTHING HURTS” photos for college brochures.

Dictionary Editors Say 'Twerking' Goes Back Almost 200 Years

Researchers found it used as a noun in 1820, spelled "twirk"

We usually don’t get pictures of Miley Cyrus paired with antedating news.

Kim Gordon’s new book credited Henry Rollins for twerking at a basement show.

Do any of my followers live in Philadelphia?

How are the queer spaces? How are the punk shows? How is the DIY scene?

Mama is moving there in three months and she needs to do some research.

[clownfist]

Pretty awesome in all three respects. It’s like New York without the New Yorkers.

Visiting Philly? This list can be your ultimate reference guide!

3. Have breakfast at the Melrose Diner They do scrapple justice! - Thrillist

[clownfist]

No, fuck you. The Melrose has really gone downhill. Eat at Sabrina’s or Green Eggs.

After almost a month of web development, I present a dev site to a particularly picky client whose existing website was over 10 years old and looked it. After a few days, he called me.

Client: Well I’ve looked over the site, and I like it. The only problem is that I sent the site to my mother, and she thinks it’s too wordy. Can you do something about that?

Me: I can definitely help with trimming down some of the text for you without losing important parts.

Client: Trimming down? No I need all that text on the site. Just make it less wordy.

Me: I’m not sure I understand - you want me to reduce the amount of words without deleting any copy?

Client: Yes.

[clownfist]

What’s so difficult about adding pictures to dilute the amount of space the text takes up?

Best brunch spot in Philly?

My birthday falls on a Sunday this war and I’m looking to make reservations somewhere .

Why You Should Never, Ever Listen When Someone Says ‘You Weren’t Born To Do That’

Most people probably pass by Misa Kuranaga without realizing who, exactly, they just overlooked. At 5’1 with a delicate build, Misa blends into the crowded Boston populace.

However.

This woman, who hails from Osaka, Japan and probably weighs less than most American sixth graders, is a principal dancer for the Boston Ballet. And while her stature and size may defy the standards of “ballet beauty,” she is an international success story in the ballet world.

For a full interview with the inspiring Misa Kuranaga go here.

She’s so beautiful and inspirational. It was amazing having her perform in our nutcracker twice 😍

[theroyalballetandi]

I hate number four. Why would that mean she can’t show emotions? It’s nonsense.

[clownfist]

HINT: the dictators in her life are people using “science” to explain why she can’t achieve her goals.

[brideoflisafrankenstein]

I like black metal a lot, but I wish I didn’t have to google every friggen band to make sure they don’t have weird nazi politics first. 

[clownfist]

I feel this way about Scandinavian folk metal. It’s always like “Aw damn, they got great D&D lyrics but they are all about the master race (Vikings who are white)”

BLACK AND WHITE MAKES IT ARTISTIC

Devastatingly accurate though.

Question :: An underage prostitute and her pimp in Cuba OR an underage girl at The Italian Market in South Philly, simply removing her outerwear in the hot summer heat? Answer :: The latter. Amazing what stories you can create by way of your mind’s eye … and your camera.

[clownfist]

Instead of some shitty white person's idea of "gritty", I'd stick to the basics, like learning how to take pictures.

Think you know who made these recognizable artworks? Think again. Sturtevant: Double Trouble opens today.

That's a pretty bad opening line, intern.

To be honest, I don't want to own another T-shirt that is just a billboard for a website no matter how good the cause is. I think what you do is great, though. That and a bag of nickels...

[christinefriar]

I. love. the. Anaconda. video. but the writeups I’ve been seeing keep referring to Drake as a co-star, which I think misses a big part of the point.

The reason this video rules is because Drake is an extra. Drake is a prop. Drake is a bro in the comfy-casual clothes that he rolled up to the set in, who has no lines or purpose other than the be ground upon, and whose face is obscured by shadows most of the time.

This is not a continuation of the Drake/Nicki/Rih media narrative. This is a dank-as-fuck feminist power play. This is, “Drake is whatever to me.” And this is a man who, if he isn’t at the top of his game, is close to it. A huge celebrity. And here is Nicki looking fucking amazing, tormenting him into a boner, then swatting his hand away and walking out of frame.

Your anaconda don’t want none unless she got buns, hun? Maybe she doesn’t want your anaconda. Maybe she’ll do whatever the fuck she wants with her buns, and it doesn’t matter what you think or feel.

[staggot]

I am not surprised a corny ass white feminist wrote this

[clownfist]

This is some bullshit Camille Paglia feminist theory right here.

[bathsalts]

i think my brother is into some dark shit on the internet and talking to people secretly on a regular basis about the dark shit 

i’m just not sure what exactly the dark shit is. wish he’d just talk to me about it but idk he’s being weird about it

[clownfist]

Ask him if the vampire lord he rolls with has any hot stock tips

im always on the lookout for cool showtunes but like, passively, because im not really into musicals themselves, as like a whole. im just into showtunes. if you have some favorite showtunes hmu!!!

[clownfist]

Wax Fang writes songs that should be in musicals. They are really easy to belt and are well done without a lot of cheesiness. The writers also really know their 70s rock and roll history. There's elements of Bowie and Cat Stevens in a lot of their stuff.
