The Black Waters of Echo's Pond

I saw this trailer tonight while watching the repeat of SNL w/Jon Hamm and now I can't wait to see the movie! It reminds me of Evil Dead and El Dia de la Bestia. If you've seen the latter you know why :S

Anyway, check this and be scared with me:

Love Me

Love Me is an exhibit/book by photographer Zed Nelson who spent years traveling around the world documenting the extremes to which we subject ourselves to remain young and beautiful (by western standards).

These are some of my favorite pictures from the series:


Tummy-Tuck


Nose bridge prosthetic implants

See Love Me in its entirety here

There's a quote in the exhibit that accompanies this picture:

“One thing we do know for certain is that the body is the place where each of us lives, and the place where each of us will die: our body will always, in the end, betray us.“ -Tim Adams
It's so disheartening, isn't it? Like, really? Is that all we have to look forward to? No exceptions?

There's also a quote by the great Bette Davis: "Old age is not for sissies." Gulp! It really isn't, as the Zed Nelson himself says: "The signs of aging are reckoned to be so unacceptable that many in the public eye choose a strange, artificial appearance over a reflection of their actual years." That's so true, there's always the option to get some plastic surgery and go for the Bruce Jenner/Barry Manilow look, leave the old man look behind and instead choosing to look like this new strange being. Maybe it's not such a bad thing. Remember that old episode of Nip/Tuck when Joan Rivers goes to see the doctors and tells them she wants to revert all her plastic surgeries, cause she wants her grandchildren to see her the way she really should be without all the plastic surgeries? So they use this program to show her what she'd look like if she had never gotten any procedure, and if she had just let herself go and she would look awful. In the end, she doesn't go for the surgery. Can you blame her?
