The Mircoblog Lookbook










































Sometimes I get tired of the way words are such forceful, tangled up things. Especially on the internet, where people tend to write facebook posts that begin, "There are angles watching over us.." after which I have to spend ten to fifteen minutes stopping myself from writing something like, "I often feel that the ceiling, where it meets the wall, has some sort of ulterior motive." SO when I get tired of words, I like to hit up mircoblogs, where I can be enthralled by images curated for me from the internets by tasteful bloggers like my new friend Leo or my old friend Tavi. Here are some inspirations from Leo's Francophone artblog ZIZART. The French have impeccable taste, always.
