Weekly Writing: Thick Black Frames

 

Thick Black Frames
A Poem for You, Sir
By Katelyn

I met you Friday night before the Oscars
It was almost midnight at a hotel bar
My friends and I were freezing
You were hogging the fire pit

We connected
Over how life imitates Friends
And Harlem Shake videos
(I still don’t get it)

You smiled at me
Touched my leg
Bought me a drink
And invited us to your friend’s room

You poured me wine
We laughed
And discussed the multiple meanings of “scat”

It was after 4 and we called a cab
You walked us down
Asked for my number
Hugged me
Told the driver not to try anything funny

You texted me right away
The next night, too
And then nothing

What the hell?
Whatever.
I only liked you for your glasses

Switcheroo: Couple Outfits

The Switcheroo project was created by Canadian photographer Hana Pesut. The aim is quite simple – show what couples look like if they swap clothes... And I think it's HILARIOUS. Who doesn't love looking at bearded men in dresses!? Happy Monday :)

Remake Photo Project

Ohhh how I wish I would have seen this before the deadline passed... Oh well, it's still fun to look at. Here are some samples from Booooooom's Remake Project, that challenged young students from the UK to re-invent classic works of art through photography and win up to £10,000!

Stamps of Disapproval

Where were these when I was a waitress? Would've put these back of the checks with bad tips...

Mood Enhancers

My boss sent me home from work today because I looked horrific- and I'm not talking about a bad hair day, folks. I'm coming down with something- something ugly. Feverish, and now, highly drugged up. So what better way to make use of my time then sit at my computer and look up silly things?
