I created a <a href="http://wichones.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> as an alternative to this blog, in hopes that it might be more traveled.<br />

Hello! I was talking with @ShesAllWrite about this blog, and we both were thinking that Tumblr might be a more appropriate venue for this kind of thing. I am going to try it out there and see if I can get some traction. If you have already voted here, would you mind voting on the Tumblr page as well, and share it with your followers? Thanks for any help.<br />

<span style="font-style: italic;">"This is an easy one. I don't even have to get into the politics of leather jackets versus t-shirts. Has NO ONE commented on the necklace? COME ON, people. The photographer was obviously told by someone, 'Hey, make sure you get the entire necklace in the picture. It's IMPORTANT.' And who is going to think the necklace is important, other than the necklace-wearer? The necklace-wearer is in control of the composition of this band photo, and thus the necklace-wearer is in charge."</span><br />
