Halle Berry as a “white woman”. This is bad. Very bad. Where’s Shawn and Marlon Wayans for sideline commentary? I find it hard to believe the Wachowskis are using the “makeup” as an excuse to bring back blackface and yellowface. Granted, I hear that there are even some Asians playing whites, but the whites playing Asians is god awful caricatures. There’s no going around it. Asians with their “crooked, chinky eyes” still have a symmetry and aesthetic look. The white actors in yellow-face look like they’re melting or literally retarded. So, there it is. That’s how white people see Asians.

Okay, before I lose my train of thought for tonight, regarding Hyuna, the Korean pop star featured along Psy in YouTube sensation music video Gangnam Style. It’s just my personal opinion, but I do not find her very attractive simply due to all that work done to her face, especially her eyes. This is a common trend overseas where the Asian women are getting their eyes “widened” to appease American standards of beauty, aka “the white standard”. Her skin even looks like it was lightened. Looking now like an alien. Then you hear her “sing”. If you want to represent “Koreans”, why not look “Korean”. To me, that boggles my mind. I guess she’s Gungnam styo after all.

Ned Flanders has a sense of humor. Some women will think he looks like Marlon Brando or Hugh Jackman, some will think he looks like That Yellow Bastard from Sin City, but Uncle Terry thinks himself David by Micolangy. Thems the beans, ladies and gents, that’s how you gits teh wimmens. You have to put the time and effort into your body like Uncle Terry.

The lovely Fiona Horsey. One of those beautiful faces (and bodies) that just pops up sometimes in random movies.

Anonymous asked: HAHAHA… so now you’re on a beach shooting a model with a NEX-7 in one hand while tweeting on your iPhone with the other hand!! That’s swag!! Do you actually look thru the viewfinder when you shoot? I always thought you’d be just using the LCD screen.
Kesler: haha, I rarely use the view finder, mostly the LCD.
Joke or not, the LCD of any DSLR is quite practical and exists for that sole purpose if it didn’t drain the battery so dang fast. And if you get a profession DSLR, you add on a gigando battery (let alone price!) just to power those unlimited shoots.

Woooo. No.
Team Bondi, the video game developers behind hit PlayStation 3 “L.A. Noire” is working on a similar game taking place in 1930s Shanghai which is currently titled “Whore of the Orient”.
I know the Australians don’t have much opposition when it comes to race relations there, but in the modern world, a title like that can’t be very exotic anymore let alone politically correct. I’m sure, back in the glory days of silver cinema, that’s what got white men hooked on “Asian Dragon Lady”, but nowadays, hopefully, there has to be more to liking a woman than tokenizing her ethnicity.
But on the bright side, which is always the excuse, now they can cast all sorts of whorey Asian American Los Angelos talent to play whorey Asian prostitutes of yesteryear. Get to work, hos!
SMDH. No win situation.

Uh-oh, what say you?
So the context is that the Spanish magazine is saying The First Lady represents a long-time coming for black women and the Feminist movement. So… is this racist because blacks don’t want to acknowledge their own past (those who are indeed descended from black American slaves) or is it because it is inappropriate in some other way? Is this the only way they knew how of showing black women in a respectable light? Would this be of any concern outside of America?
National Geographic does something similar, but I’ll post something about that another time.

Let’s talk about casting. Even among the B-Movie giants, these elaborate “low-budget” straight-to-video films are still able to book almost well-known Playboy models or Playmates to play cameos or actual starring roles in their films. And once you see these models in a string of similar films, then you know these b-grade films must be funded by the same people representing the model herself.
If you keep up with Uncle Terry Richardson’s blog, you’ll start to realize that the people who hire him to take pictures of their people toss him the same people to photograph over and over and over. If you’re looking at this from a professional viewpoint, yes, this is job security. But if you’re talking about creativity, it’s really lacking. However, what I’m talking about is not how making money works. And these people make money because there is a formula. Which is why they make money, and I’m not.

A photographer/artist you should pay attention to in art circles. Possibly this generation’s Mapplethorpe.
It’s not like the subject matter is anything new. But the technical mastery enhances it.

Olivia Thirby in the upcoming action film “Dredd”. Looks like we’re seeing some changes in standards of what the “female” sidekick looks like, a little anime influence mayhaps?
Looking like Deunan from Appleseed.
