A Love Affair With #12 : Muhr Photography (Don't You Just Hate all The Dead Flies Hanging Around?!)

- The other night I was sat in the pub after a little bit of an argument with the Mr (resolved now. kissed. made up!) with some of my best friends, because of the significant morphine consumption at the moment (still, I know, it's been a long time now!) I can't actually drink, I was having a strop as it was and one of my friends threw a magazine at me, which I then decided to read. . (antisoc, you don't need to tell me!)

- I'll get on to what I found in that magazine, which grossed me out, a little later, but first, just look at these beautiful portraits.

- After I had finished being considerably grossed out by said other art project, I stumbled across these portraits, and I love them so much. . . the simplicity of them, yet the complexity of the subject choices.

- Now, here, is what I found originally. . .

- why yes! yes these are dead flies arranged onto drawings!

- My initial reaction is 'eugh!' - but then I started to think that actually, is rather clever, then my thoughts went to 'how many flies does this guy have in his house?!' I mean, there are plenty there, but those are just the dead ones. . . does he collect dead flies? does he re-use his dead flies? Why dead flies?!

- So many questions I want to ask the guy. . . but he redeemed himself with the portraiture!

(I'm also not going to lie, the image of the fly shaving it's legs on the toilet seat made me giggle!)

5 :4 Uniform Dating - Creepy or Not?

- OK so I have no problem with people who use these sites, and I (not me who set it up - two of my male friends decided it would be funny when I ended a rubbish relationship - backfired on them!) am actually a member to a dating site, I've met some pretty interesting people! (not for dates, or a relationship - but for friends!)

- But this website - keeps getting advertised, and it's quite frankly a little creepy

Whether you work in uniform, or just fancy those who do

- It just makes me think of fetish related things, and makes me a little uncomfy! It's one thing saying you have a thing for firemen, but actively searching someone who works in uniform . . .

- I don't know. not meant to offend, just wondering if anyone else thinks it's a little odd?

 . . . and here is the advert I keep seeing

2 :19 Age Maps

- As much as I love this concept, I always find myself wondering what I will look like in 30 years time, or what my great grandma looked like when she was young, the first image will haunt me for a LONG time.
