I really, really didn’t want to link to Gawker again, but then they ran this:

And, well, what could I do? This is a couple of cougars-dressed-as-lamb Madonna Wannabes for the launch of Madonna’s new clothing line today at … whatever: some store I can’t get to before it’s sold out of the damn stuff but it’s okay, I STILL HAVE MINE!

If it seems insane to you that young girls ever wanted to dress like that outside of laudanum-enhanced fever dreams, let me remind you:

• back then, clothing was street art. It may sometimes have been bad art, but it was still art.
• today, young girls dress like this.
• also, it was fun. How fun? THIS fun:

I was going to make fun of this woman for dressing like a lesbionic Martian flapper, but then I looked at the fine print and realized HOLY SHIT THAT’S VERUSCHKA and she is entitled to dress any way she likes.

And now, to the technology-themed link roundup.
