Notice that both of todays female images are wearing jackets with pushed up sleeves.
I did a post recently about men wearing pushed-up sleeves and the reaction was mixed if not a little more negative.
I wonder if there is a perceived difference between women doing it and men pushing the sleeves?
I love the Thin Man movies so during vacation I thought it would be fun to read the book.
After about three pages I realized that The Thin Man is nothing without William Powell.
The words are the same but William Powell made them jump and gave them such life!
This is one of the few times that the movie is so much more entertaining than the book.
Am I wrong?
As always, we find ourselves in the midst of Thursday Night Thinking! Tonight, we have one of our most consistent thinkers: Superman!
Super-thinking means quality thinking. But what happens when Superman loses his powers? Can his thinking possibly compare?

A few thoughts on this week's Trinity. Here goes:
- I've suspected since the beginning that the mysterious "Enigma" is who he seems to be. But I'm wondering how the character got from what he was originally portrayed as -- a great hero -- to the villain he seems to have become.
- I absolutely loved Superman's explanation as to why he's capable of taking on the entire Anti-Trinity single-handedly. Just one more piece of evidence that Superman is the best there is at what he does.
- Oh, how great is the talisman the baddies are taking to represent Wonder Woman's enemy? I hope somebody does drop it and makes a complete and total mess of the contents. I hated that guy.
I found this book Elegance - The Seeberger Brothers and the Birth of Fashion Photography by Chronicle Books about a year ago. I have flipped through it often, but I took it on vacation recently and absolutely fell in love with it.
Someday, 100 years from now, I hope some young person will flip through a book of my images and feel the way I felt looking at these photos.
Running a blog is a daily job that requires immediate action. I love that challenge but it is equally important to me that these images last and hopefully reflect a little bit of this moment in time for future generations.
I don't worry if what I do is art - but it is a document. A book like this makes me proud that I might be able to continue that tradition.
I am so jealous I didn't take this photo, but the picture I took the other day in Stockholm feels like this to me and you could almost switch the two young woman and still have the same spirit of the image. 
I like to look at this image and imagine it is the Tuileries in Paris and that I am capturing the same spirits today but in different bodies dressed in different clothing. 
There are not many men's images in the book but the ones that are included are fantastic. 
Even the little details are fascinating. This photo is dated Aug 14th in Deauville.
AUGUST 14th! And she is wearing a giant coat. There are a lot of images like this, people really bundled up in the middle of August. It is the disconnect from today's world that I think makes these images romantic and mysterious. 
What can I say about this image except it is soooo beautiful and inspiring.
It seems that people still can't stop whining about the "revolving door of death" or simply death itself in superhero comics. Every few months there's another article somewhere about the topic. I'll admit that I myself was once against some of that. But now I am older and wiser and I can tell you: deaths and resurrections are a part of superhero comics. And they always have been.
People act as though violent death and unlikely resurrection are something new to comics. But that's just ridiculous. Since the advent of superheroes slaughter and that "revolving door" have been a part of the medium.
Consider the Ultra-Humanite, Superman's first true supervillainous opponent. Death and resurrection are a part of the character. Dying and coming back to life are what the Humanite does.
Take Hugo Strange, arguably Batman's first real adversary. How many times has the good professor seemingly died since his first appearance in the 40's only to return fit and ready to come up with a new, twisted scheme? I certainly couldn't count them all off the top of my head.
Now some of you may be saying: "Wait it's not about that! Deaths these days are far more violent! Carnage for carnage's sake!" To that I ask: have you ever actually read a Golden Age comic? Have you seen the way characters died in the good old days? Comics in the 1940's could be incredibly violent. In some ways, comics in the modern age are pretty tame in comparison (perhaps too tame).
Now I'll admit that the resurrections have gotten a bit more fanciful. But the classic "Oh, I wasn't actually dead even though you all saw me die" is still in use. Just look at Stephanie Brown -- she's a classic example of that sort of resurrection. The term "retcon" may be relatively new, but the concept certainly isn't.
My point is this: violent death and unlikely resurrections are not something tacked onto comics in recent years. They are central part of a medium that has a history going back nearly eight decades. They are as much a part of superhero comics as capes and tights. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
I have, since returning to America, fallen in love with eBay. There is a wide variety of comic book related merchandise available, you see. Things that I never even knew existed. I went there searching for a Doctor Polaris Heroclix. I have returned with treasures beyond imagination.
Take this item, which I found accidentally and immediately purchased. It arrived in the mail today, and is glorious:
But this card is not the only thing I got off eBay. There were a few more things, which I'm sure I'll be sharing with you when the time is right... Will you find them to be as kickass as I have? Yes. Yes you will.
This was going to be a full-length photo but she looked so serious in each shot.
However each time I lowered the camera she would smile like this.
again, anticipation
The only thing is, I'm not sure what I've been doing. Still, I don't think that's necessarily anything to worry about. I'm just adding your typical blackouts to my usual psychotic religious delusions. Nothing I can't handle.
The only thing I worry about is if I'm spending my time constructively. I hope I'm learning a new trade, or at least engaging in additional brutal vigilantism. I wonder if I could be wandering around Gotham City in a new guise during You-Know-Who's mysterious absence, fighting injustice and protecting the innocent? Perhaps I'm still fighting the good fight -- just under a moniker I've never used before. Who knows?
Now I'm going to lay down for a while. My head hurts...
Know this: I will end the speculation now. It is I, Doctor Polaris.
That is right, you mindless media dogs! Senator Obama has chosen the mighty Polaris as his running mate! Together we will crush all opposition. No one can stand in my way. I will destroy all who attempt to derail my path to the United States Naval Observatory! From there, I shall observe the heavens and plot my domination over all!
...
Fools! Did you really think it was me? I have tricked you all! You ran to your "Black Berries" and your "I Phones" to alert your editors... And you have been shamed. Pathetic dupes! I would never accept such a worthless post as Vice President! I am Doctor Polaris... And I will settle for nothing less than Secretary of State.
