Being queer means leading a different sort of...

 

Being queer means leading a different sort of life. It’s not about the mainstream, profit-margins, patriotism, patriarchy or being assimilated. It’s not about executive directors, privilege and elitism. It’s about being on the margins, defining ourselves; it’s about gender-fuck and secrets, what’s beneath the belt and deep inside the heart; it’s about the night. Being queer is ”grass roots” because we know that everyone of us, every body, every cunt, every heart and ass and dick is a world of pleasure waiting to be explored. Everyone of us is a world of infinite possibility.

The poodles transformed into pandas, horses and even snails at 'creative grooming' dog shows | Mail Online

 

They may resemble pandas, buffalos and camels - but these animals are actually poodles, all competing for the title of top dog at 'creative grooming' shows across the U.S.

Something of a canine fancy dress contest, it takes just two hours for owners to transform their pets, which are sheared and coloured to achieve each look.

The incredible transformations were captured by photographer Ren Netherland, who travels thousands of miles each year to attend each competition.

This is soooooooooooooooooooooooo creeepy...............I can't look away...............but it's wrong..................but the panda is sooooooooooooooo cute............omg can you believe this????? The buffalo is cool too and the camel................but WTF?????????????? seriously. no seriously.

Urban Outfitters - Features - Urban Outfitters + The Impossible Project

We've partnered with The Impossible Project to help them on their mission to bring instant film photography back to life. When Polaroid ended instant film production in 2008, The Impossible Project picked up where they left off—purchasing a Polaroid factory and equipment in Holland. Now they're on track to start producing their own instant film in early 2010. We're proud to support them with exclusive Polaroid product and an exhibiton of Polaroid photography.
