Whatever’s on my mind really.

A peek at illustration inspiring celebrity sexiness, quirky news stories from inherently pornified pop culture, tips, sketchbook and work in progress, reviews and other things of interest; whatever’s on my mind really—which more fool you if you ever take that seriously.

Latest Picks is a sort of mini-blog for daily thoughts and picks. Longer articles, stories & sketches are found in the full-size blog, where indeed Latest Picks are moved when updates to a story make it too large.

Note: Both Latest Picks and Blog are to be retired at the end of September, although both will remain available indefinitely as an archived part of the site. No further updates to past stories will be made.

It’s not just the “evil” Kardashian-Jenner Korps and their profitable and attention grabbin’ endorsement gig you choose not to ignore by venting and raging about them on the very pages very much all about them all the time you know:

Model agencies colluded to fix prices, competition regulator says (theguardian.com).

I just work here

Nor even the “Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne” names “allegations aimed at UK modelling industry, including agents that launched careers of” either, for which they are paid to be the face—and often catwalk walking legs—of; for sure, do you agree with everything your employer does, or do you, like many, just accept—perhaps even grumblingly begrudgingly—it’s just a job, or what is often used as excuse for “do what you have to do” anything and everything when making your way towards internet entrepreneurialism, and, as said before, I’d bet some critical Kardashian-Jenner Korps curmudgeons and termagants would suck a nutrient Sugarbear or at least a Werther’s Original if offered endorsement opportunity too (Pick of the Month 30th Apr. 2016) while appraising the pictorial moral turpitude they are looking at:

“Some of Britain’s top model agencies colluded to fix prices charged to retailers, fashion brands and other customers, the competition regulator has alleged. FM Models, Models 1, Premier, Storm and Viva agreed to exchange competitively sensitive information, including future prices, from April 2013 to March 2015, the Competition and Markets Authority alleged. In some cases, agencies agreed a common approach to pricing, the CMA added.

“The allegations affect agencies at the pinnacle of the British modelling industry. Premier was the agency that launched Naomi Campbell’s career, Storm discovered Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne. Models 1 have represented Sophie Dahl and Yasmin Le Bon while Viva’s models include Stella Tennant and Natalia Vodianova. … Stephen Blake, the senior director of the CMA’s cartels and criminal group, said: ‘The allegations concern prices charged to a range of customers, including high street chains, online fashion retailers and consumer goods brands. The CMA alleges that these five model agencies sought to achieve higher prices in negotiations with their customers by colluding instead of competing.’”

But, then again, did you really think it was all down to the quality of the seam and stitching and not the social-status branding you were paying for or why you didn’t buy that Ratner “Diamond” ring (Wikipedia)—or if you did likely now don’t admit it—to prove devotion to whom you’d like to everlastingly hump, and as you may know, competition in high-end branding is often price-wise spiral down to George at Asda (asda.com) who, I feel I must say, regretabbly do a wide range of superhero boxers for grown chaps without a single pair of Scarlet Witch or Black Widow panties in their female adult lingerie section.

It’s branded musical break time. You know that I’d never cheat on a man / ’Cause I’m not like that / I’m physically crafted to be / As fitting as McQueen / But when it comes to clothing I’m bad / I’m fashionably just designed to be grand / Oh and he’s no accessory to me / Oh to me, no no, no!
