House Stark Is Full Of Hipsters

Do you love Game of Thrones, or do you LOVE Game of Thrones?

While I haven't managed to catch up on this week's (apparently tragic) episode of #GoT yet, (Poor person with a basic cable budget, and a reporter's schedule. Judge me), these wonderful illustrations by Tokyo-based, French graphic designer, Mike Wroebel, are just enough to get me through another day of missing the epic-ness of the Red Wedding. 

(And I accidentally glimpsed the lead-in to that article while I was pasting the link and now I know there was a massacre. SPOILERS EVERYWHERE! :/)

This awesome illustration of badass Arya Stark was my favourite, but head over to his blog to check out other equally awesome illustrations of Daenerys Targaryen, Brienne of Tarth, Jon Snow and a few others as super hipsters of the 80's. You won't be sorry. I promise!

EDIT: I finally watched Sunday's episode and FUCK. Somebody should have prepared me for that! I don't know if I can do this anymore. Why do you toy with my emotions?!?!?! *hyperventilates*

#Scandal: I Know That Olivia Pope Isn't Perfect; It's Part Of The Reason I Love Her

It irks me that people (usually black men) keep saying that black women shouldn't love Olivia Pope because she is flawed. "Flawed" in this case usually equals "having an affair with a white guy". They don't realize it, but the concentrated hate that they hold for her is steeped in a very specific kind of racialized misogyny . Walter White was no hero, but somehow we managed to love him. Dexter was a serial killer  and yet, we lauded him too. What do they have in common? You guessed it. Men. White  men. Who also happened to be anti-hero characters whose virtues were valued alongside their flaws. But I'm going to set that aside for now. I'm a black woman and I LOVE Scandal. I am not blind to Olivia's flaws. I love her  because she has flaws.  Black women are so severely underrepresented in media that Kerry Washington's role has garnered a considerable amount of attention simply because she is a black woman in a lead role of a network televisi

Cover Wars: Nicki Minaj by Howard Huang for Paper Magazine

via Paper Mag Nicki Minaj by Howard Huang Personally, I wish Nicki would do more looks like this. She's deep into her "costume" phase right now, and that's fine, but I think she's forgotten (and consequently so has everyone else) how GORGEOUS she looks when she goes glam. She has all the makings of a style icon in the traditional sense, but she seems to prefer the Gaga route. That's perfectly okay of course, but I'd love to see her do more easy beauty shoots like this one. She's a beautiful woman.
