The Look of Life

posted by on December 26 at 15:01 PM

hannah_starkey_may.jpg The struggle we face in life is to find a way to overcome this trap, this loop or looks, this locked arrangement of gazes. Youth looks at itself; the old looks at youth; no one looks at the old.

I think you're wrong.

Unless you're into cougars or daddies...

of course such concepts are far beyond the comprehension of the ignorant.

My existence disproves the shit out of this.

I guess it all depends on how you want to be looked at. I'm old to some people, 46, but I'm more comfortable with myself now than I ever was when I was young!

The struggle we all of face

What does "we all of face" mean? Does that mean as a former model I'm vermin, or treasure? Or is it a typo?

I'm all confused now.

@6: If you have to ask Charles Mudede whether you are vermin or treasure, then you have larger problems than a typo.

How right you are. I just still want to know what "we all of face" means.

Is it some secret initiation code? It has the same attraction as "we of Froot Loops" without the tasty angle.

No one would grow old if given the choice. No one would chose to be invisible to others unless they were dealing with mental issues. Since we do grow old it's high time Westerners come to terms with it. The artist I think is attmepting to get us thinking along such lines.

Wolf, the Stranger writers typos or brain freezes are a great comfort to me!

I'm the queen of making no sense when I write but of course I'm not a writer by profession so nobody cares.

Money will make the old attractive, and the short tall.

Getting old is better than the alternative-In my opinion.

In my opinion of this photo,the old woman is observing the young druggie and wondering what the fuck she is doing.

Notice the older woman's quizzical expression and her lack of attention to what should be her most immediate concern,her hot beverage.

The one watching doesn't look that old at all.

It may be more appropriately entitled Normal watches thin having an Amy Winehouse moment.

There you go making generalizations again.

I look at the old to see what's new in matching lounge/jogging wear. I quit looking at the young, because as I grow into a bitter hag they look increasing retarded in their mall bought identities. Sheesh, the kids these days... fatter and fatter, covered in metal like little studded Thunderdomes. I just try not to smell the old. Who is this -B- accusing you of making generalizations? What a dullard.
