The story behind this is that a couple weeks ago in the mail came the Urban Outfitters Late Spring '09 Catalog. I believe they mail this to my mother because she has ordered a few things in the past to send to my brother in Los Angeles. So I start flipping through it and notice how obnoxious the whole feel of it is. It's photos of mostly the same models over and over (the girl below is basically half the catalog) in mostly goofy clothing where things are either tight and short or they're loose and saggy. Everyone has these vacant, apathetic but sexual stares. There's a couple good ones of this dude: in one of which he looks like he just farted, the other he looks like he's about to sneeze.
So basically I thought it'd be fun to make a little collage of sorts, to take the image and manipulate it or add doodles along with it to make it more ridiculous. Lord only knows what one could do if they got a hold of an American Apparel catalog. That'd be gold mine.
I'm planning on continuing this project and hopefully the further I delve into it, the more creative and interesting the pieces become.

i get the anthropologie catalog having ordered some shoes and a sweater from them online. aside from the vacant longing in the models' faces, my favorite thing i've seen was in their interior design section. they were showing off throw pillows, but in the photo, all of the pillows (which were all easily above $300) had been thrown into a lake, floated behind a dock, and were then photographed.
