Canines in Costume

...I just had to. There were too many hilarious dogs in costume!!! Here are some of my favs...they had me in fits of giggles.

Photography of Roger Ballen + The Invisible Audience Out!

"The art of Roger Ballen is impossible to forget. It goes deep. Gets at places we didn’t know were there. Maybe hoped weren't there. It makes us wild. It opens us up to those uncertain, shocking and frighteningly banal aspects of the waking dream, twitching between animal and human, the clean and the unclean, the animate and the inanimate, the lived and the imagined, the natural and the performed."
(I love that description)

...I've been meaning to post his photography for awhile now and thought with its creepy and unsettlingness, approaching halloween would be appropriate.

See more if you dare, Here!

Cats in Costume

Antique Eeeks

...I love antique dolls, but man they can be creepy!!! I think watching certain scary movies over the years has turned dolls into untrustworthy toys that have a mind of their own. The faces on some of them.....EGAD.

I adore going into antique shops or thrift stores and looking at all the old toys and dolls...they had so much character and there are so many varieties. I have a small collection of vintage dolls,mostly native and eskimo but a few others as well. I must take photos to show you peeps my lil' collection. I'd love to learn more about the different era's and history of dolls. It's neat to see how they evolved.
