The Eternal Sunshine of Fred & Anne

Square America uncovers an intriguing story within three early 20th Century photo albums found at a flea market...

As I looked through the album, however, I began to notice something strange…


Clearly, someone went through the album and systematically, and sometimes apparently violently, removed photos of women...







Questions remain:
...Still, what are we to make of the removed photos- did they agree to go through their own or each other's albums and remove any photos of old flames? Did one or the other do it on their own? If so, did they do it laughingly after a few glasses of wine or bitterly after an argument? And did it acheive it's desired effect- did Fred never again think about Delia or Gladys, did Anne forget Cas..?

Trash the Dress

Trash the Dress 1 by `lady-atropos
Artist's Comments
Photographer: Michael Ellis of Toledo, Ohio

Model: Me
About: This is perhaps the tame and graceful bit of the series. This was shot for 'trash the dress' - a publication featuring wedding fashion that gets destroyed in the process of the shoot. Every girl has that dress in her closet..that aweful, ugly bridesmaid dress that should be lit afire..this is one of those dresses.

I hate dresses - particularly those in horrid Easter egg pastels - yet my best friend is finally getting married (and going slightly insane in the process) so I spent much of the day trying on overpriced and utterly silly dresses I will never wear again. It seems so wasteful.
While her older sister's toddler was screaming and crawling on the floor like a bilingual monkey (French/English) in need of Ritalin, much of my time was spent suggesting that Martha Stewart pastels and sequins were a bit much and subtle designs preferable.

Does anyone understand WTF is going on in Guam BTW? The Democrats have such a Byzantine system.
