Can You Be a "Victim" of Suicide?

Tragically, Kazakhstani model Ruslana Korshunova plummeted to her death from a NYC skyscraper on Saturday June 29th. CNN describes her as "Vogue model victim of apparent suicide". I am bloody grateful to not be able to comprehend how bad things could be to consider or carry out such a thing. A shame.

LOST



Am I alone here or is this a new cultural phenomenon?

I Know I´m Going To Hell For This


How on earth does this happen? My heart breaks in pathos for this creature. She just wandered the train platform never raising her eyes for a moment. My mind races imagining the sad scene of her daily existence...a basement apartment with lace curtains? Cammomile tea? lots of cats? One tiny hand mirror used when trimming hair with nail scissors? I surely don't presume to suggest that I am in any way a better person...in fact posting this image certainly suggests otherwise...I just wish for her sake one of her neighbours has her over for a glass of wine and tells her she has a pretty smile so she can hold her head up one day.

When Magic Just Happens In Front Of You


These two bros are so obviously committed to banana eating that they have a team uniform. I'm not sure if it's style or speed that they are in pursuit of but mastering but I have noo doubt of their dedication. I dropped what I was doing to capture this shot and I was so concerned that I would lose the opportunity that I accidentally cropped out the spare bananas they had "on deck" for round 2. You can see one on the bottom edge of the photo. I wish them all the best and look forward to seeing them reprasent in Beijing.
