Dear Blowhards --

* First modernism, then low-fat eating, and now this. Is there nothing left to believe in?

* Ideologies and other crackpot-isms may disappoint, but there's always the SI swimsuit issue. I notice that this year it's possible to download a bunch of SI swimsuit video clips for your iPod. I also notice that most of them are about 8 minutes long. $1.99 for eight minutes? Hey, Wikipedia has an entry on the SI Swimsuit issue. That's my kind of encyclopedia. Check out the very first cover.

* He recently finished a film and turned 80. Now Robert Altman is in London directing an Arthur Miller play. Whatever that man is on, I want some of it.

* ChicagoBoyz's Jonathan Gewirtz isn't just a heckuva blogger, he's also a talented photographer. You can sample his witty and beautiful work here.

* Spend a weekend in Iowa meditating with David Lynch.

Best,

Michael

The very first swimsuit cover is cute!

But check out Cheryl Tiegs' very first cover in about 1978---horrible! Unflattering pic, unflattering suit! Especially compared to her later much sexier covers. Amazing she ever stirred such a fuss when you look at the first cover now.
