The Bwog
Promenade116: Reductive Edition

Bwog's favorite publication, the Spectator's poetry-and-photography spin-off, 116, is baaack! In case you haven't had enough of the "not quickspec" tag today, here are some more links to click.

Look at these people, they are hip!

And look at the things they do with their fancy cameras!

- Thing 1

- Thing 2

- Thing 3

Girls have feelings! Golf clap.

- Girl 1

- Girl 2

- Girl 3

...and Spec EIC avows, "but I am no poet."


Bwogossip: Insensitivity Edition

In which Bwog presents the shocking underface of our school's rigidly PC façade- misogyny! AIDS jokes! Brangelina? The Horror, just in time for Halloween, below:

Proof that the Ivy League is home to our country's best and brightest- overheard in the hallway of Wien 10:

(laughter and yelling)
Girl: "But I don't have AIDS!"
Guy: "It's funny!"
(beat) [sic]
Girl: "Kiss my boo boo!"

From a girl in line at Milano, recounting her weekend party experiences:

"He was like 'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!' and I was like, 'I was supposed to be Judy Garland but the three guesses I kept getting were hooker, rockette, and Victor/Victoria.' And he was like, 'I don't care what you were SUPPOSED to be, Ashley, those legs were yummy! winkface winkface winkface.'"

It seems that these social convention-clueless Columbians could learn a thing or two from the Department of Dry British Wit, which, as ever, demonstrates a more subtle approach:

"Pitt and Jolie are in India shooting Daniel Pearl, a film about the reporter who was murdered in Pakistan in 2002."

Thanks to Paul Barndt, Nick Frisch, and Hannah Goldfield.
