Self-identifying bohemians realised the odds of group sex were higher if they actually washed and looked after themselves during the same period crusties disappeared. Causation v correlation?

The evolution of online life created a multiplicity of strange dark narcissuses and public profiling imagery, reflecting and re-presenting outwards any/all insecurities held within

Individuals + social norms = culture. Any culture manipulating anxieties of image projection as fully as you find today is properly fucked

Now he just needs the corncob pipe, sailor's cap, and anchor tats.

Edit: although he's actually kind of the opposite, isn't he? Stupid biceps compared to Popeye's massive forearms.

someone must have pointed this out before but...

i just seen a woman on the bus who looked impeccably groomed but her face was all plastic surgery shaped - especially her nose and lips - to my eyes she looked weird and artificial, but i'm thinking that must be what she wants to look like

& so maybe it's not my ideal of "beauty", but it's like people just want to look like they have had some work done?

In some respects it's a status symbol. You're signalling that you're a person who can afford to have work done. I've often wondered whether some people have a form of body dysmorphia that extends to their surgery though, that they can't see how odd it looks and see something different to everyone else.

there's some social worlds where it's totally normal, and that's just what people look like. la for example. the world of successful metal musicians.

Apparently in South Korea it's sometimes viewed as arrogance to eschew surgery as it suggests you think there's no room for improvement and you're refusing to better yourself.

i know i go on about this all the time but the visual language has changed so much. maybe its always been like that. but the extent to which it's about deliberately modified bodies rather than clothes is surely a departure. the swollen muscles. swollen lips. massive arses.
