Aerobicise

I remember my mom working out to this video when I was a little girl. I was trying to describe it to my friend the other day but there is no way you can put this into words. I can't believe I found it on youtube. It is so amazing. Look at the visual effects, the sitar, the driving disco beat and the great leotards. Plus the chicks are actually sweaty. I mean you know this video works. I still have the VHS tape and I think I am going to get my ass in shape.



This is my new favorite summer song to walk around the city to. It will keep you going all night and all day.  

Surrealist Babe

I always wondered who the beautiful woman was in Man Ray photos. I recently put a name to the face. I had always heard of Lee Miller, the photographer, but did not realize how amazing her life was. Her life as a young fashion model began one day while she was crossing the street in New York and Conde Nast stopped her from getting hit by a car. She was an immediate success, getting the cover of Vogue in 1927. She then moved to Paris in the 20's, with the full intention to understudy with Man Ray. He was reluctant at first, but she soon became  his assistant, lover, pupil, and muse. Lots of photos during this period are credited to Man Ray, but were actually taken by Miller. She was a part of the surrealist movement of the time and rediscovered the photo process of Solarization. She moved back to New York in the 30's to start her own photo studio and met her first husband, an Eygptian railroad man. They moved to Cairo, where she studied light and space, taking beautiful photos of the pyriamids. She soon grew bored with the desert and moved back to Paris. Then World War II began. She became a war correspondat and took some of the most memorable photos of the war. She is pictured here bathing in Hitler's tube.She took this photo of a mayor's daughter who had poisoned herself at the arrival of the Allies in Germany. All of these pictures are copyrighted.
