kelli connell's double life

kelli connell has a really interesting show on in new york right now called double life. its a series of photographs depicting the romantic relationship between two women, with a twist. the two women in the photographs are actually portrayed by the same model. its uncanny how different she looks at times and its a pretty interesting statement on society's conception of sexuality.

rapex

rapex is an anti-rape condom which is scary [on a few levels] but also pretty cool. the website is definitely surreal tho...
