Rooftop Photography

I am in awe of these photographs taken from rooftops. Not only do they make phenomenal pictures, but it’s obvious that they were taken from the edges of buildings and skyscrapers. This is enough to terrify just about anyone, but there’s no denying that these views are breathtaking.

Poster for “The Ides of March”

This is the first I am ever hearing about the film, but it’s starring Ryan Gosling and George Clooney. And hey – this poster is kind of clever. Who knew that these two actually looked really similar? If Ryan grows up to look like George someday, then we are in good freakin’ shape now aren’t we?!

Oh yes.

Lauren Conrad releases more images for collection Paper Crown

I have never really been a huge fan on celebrity-endorsed collections, but I have always been a fan of Lauren Conrad. Believe it or not, I’ve got a soft spot for Paper Crown. I was weary about her fashion venture after being just a reality star, but the girl has proved us all wrong. In fact, she’s worked her butt off just to get where she was today and she’s been through a lot. I’m not just talking her public breakup with long-time boyfriend Kyle Howard or her beef w/ Heidi and Kristin. Earlier this year, her new reality series with MTV was dropped suddenly on the brink of the debut of her new collection. However, Lauren doesn’t need the network to promote her line. She’s been doing it herself all along. Here are just a couple of my favorite images from the new collection, but you can view more at the source.

Hey Kids, Have You Heard?

Wu-Tang-Clan was searching for an intern for their management company earlier this week on Craigslist. Unfortunately, the post has already been taken down. It’s probably because they were receiving so many willing applicants, right?

To the person who has accepted this position – I hope you know what you’re getting into. Also, can you start a blog to share with us the details of your responsibilities. I was going to string along sentences of what I thought might be some responsibilities as an intern for the rap group, but I couldn’t think of anything.

Anyone else wanna give it a shot?
