Your Week Ahead (It's Monday): Freedom Porn

Shunning The camera and Hearting Nature is a trend that all of us can get into here at IVH. I spend enough time staring through glass things: my computer screen, my car window, my own camera, other peoples cameras, the mirror, my reflection in tinted windows etc. I cant take anymore of it/me/you. So I put weight on my left heel and push with the ball of my right foot and rotate away from the camera staring me down. I turn to the glass less, window less, screen less nature that unfolds forever in front of me.

Photos Of Me For You. Photos of You For Me.

Human's above all other animals love to share information. We can't help it: we love to know about new things, people, and in general share information. This love of sharing in essence makes us who we are and gives us all the things we have. The camera, perhaps more than any other invention, has single handedly advanced this culture of sharing and thus our culture of hip. Without it who would we be? After all, If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And, if I am not for others than who am I?
"Self Photo, Y'all!"

Attractiveness x Big Ass Glasses

I didn't know until I started trend spotting--but apparently smart girls, the ones that read books and take photographs, also have tits. This season and next season we will be seeing a lot of this trend. Hot and Glasses have collaborated to create an even more intimidating human female. This season your attractiveness is not the only thing keeping guys from talking to you. Along with your really-fucking-hotness now all of a sudden you're really fucking smart too.

Faces of Death Or Where Has Your Face Gone.

The year moves on. The residue of life once again begins to build under the skin and inside the pores. The body of evidence is simultaneously the body of hip- and therefore the face must be obscured. And to be clear I do not understand the previous 3 sentences: You see the meaning is implied, hinted at, but never spoon fed. And, like my intentional obscurity, faceless pose too aims to alienate, and aims to confuse the viewer and the viewee. It begs you to ask, "why can't I see your face when I can see your underwear?"

Look Down Pose: Updates And Evolutions

Ground worship. Submission. My back cant take anymore. A direct blow of some kind of beautiful inspiration to your stomach. A moment of revelry. A nod to the mother. Look down pose is experiencing some charming and nuanced evolutions since its emergence not over a year ago. I am very into this modified version of look down pose meets ground pose (a seated version of look down pose). Plus I have included some examples of "full extension." for more on this trend click the label below "look down pose." I am starting to notice a lot of this kinda existential angst meets existential reservation and we are starting to heart it.
