Herb Ritts' photographs quickly became the quintessential distillation of American Pop culture in the eighties. His portraits of celebrities are at once monumental, recognizable, and sexually charged. His pictures of Madonna have given cache to all she hopes to sell the world; glamour, sex, and song. Sylvester Stallone, another Pop icon, seems to parody himself with his macho posturing in Ritts' photographs. Others joining the pop parade are Pee Wee Herman, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Shirley MacLaine and Beach Boy Brian Wilson. This volume is the new testament of high Pop culture in the eighties.

Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel to Be Kin

[crying-in-the-stars]

in a class called american pop culture, i’ll be making a project about queer baiting and raising awareness about it + talking about cancelled shows and showing off the good ones and why they are successful.

i’m thinking of making a video about it but i think it’ll end up being super long because i’ll rant about supernatural and sherlock. doing a shit ton of research rn so i’ll drop my channel link for later use :)

This captures it. Chappell Roan is rightfully disillusioned by the two-party system.

Here are some of the correct responses to her (justified) criticism of the U.S. government.

It's just interesting how the mainstream media portrays Americans and what they are like, just a funny contrast

So what? I won't stop creating memes because the blue MAGA is trying to change the truth with its narrative, and everyone has seen what the truth is…

I can't believe tumblr doesn't shadowban me…

People who don't like Usopp's current/initial Elbaf fit in 1127 are entitled to their opinion but that couldn't be me.

Yeah the fake beard is silly, and he'll probably loose that, but the big poofy adorable striped pants / overalls??? His Asterix type swag?? For shame? Is he not moe?

Big poofy pants are ALWAYS the right answer.
