[Faceblind.blogspot.com] Face Blind!: I didn't think much of it when the Henry at Masie's party knew my name, but after about 5 Cider Jacks, I realized that he had the same name and was in the same department as that random guy I had hooked up with 5 years ago. But there was no way that could be the same guy - I would have remembered if he had been a first-year like me at that party, and unless he had been, he wouldn't still be around.

Better yet, his photo should be super imposed over a background of hundreds of bare, female breats.
[Funk.co.uk] Blog of Funk: The Gap Between the Makeup and the Face: When I see faces in the street which are clearly constructions for convenience and every day use, I think of the gap. When I sense the distance between someone's outer persona and inner psyche, I think of the gap.
[Dahrjamailiraq.com] Iraq Dispatches: The Face of War: All of these photos taken by the military are of men. An interesting thing, in light of the fact that the Iraqi Red Crescent has announced that conservatively, 60% of the casualties in Fallujah, which are expected to be well over 2,000 people, are women, children, elderly and unarmed civilians.
