Newly-engaged rapper Iggy Azalea tried on gowns with Carpool Karaoke host James Corden as they film scenes in Hollywood for “The Late Late Show” on Thursday. Corden took Iggy to a wedding dress store, where the pair was seen wearing matching wedding dress. As the pair drove down Robertson Boulevard, the Australian rapper looked like a stunning bride. She donned a flawless make-up with blonde locks styled back and tucked into her veil. As they talked about her upcoming wedding plans with…

The most interesting panel on page 134 of Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home is the 3rd panel, which consumes more than half the page in its depiction of Bechdel’s childhood gothic revival home. There are several images that are overlaid, which may be described as internal panels. They magnify the individual studies of the family inside, and their solitude is amplified by their silhouetted forms. Despite the fact that the entire family lives under one roof, Bechdel seems to imply that they are only able…

of finding his mom falling on deaf ears. "We can't wait any longer sir, we have to cast off NOW." "GO." "MOM! DAD! MOM! PLEASE!" The 7 year old watched in horror as the ship creaked and shrieked as it split in two, the half on fire illuminating silhouettes jumping into the dark water. Cries emanating from the whirlpool slowly turned to hushed gurgles and then to the loudest silence ever heard. "Mom." From the overcrowded lifeboat he could see the water still into its cruel indifference, ignoring…

Cornerstone’s Rich Picture My organization is structured in a chain of command; although, Cornerstone is a small organization we have six board members and ten staff. In the Rich Picture, the five-black head figure represents our board members; they are responsible for the activities of the organization. Across from the board members, the yellow figures represent the youth. The youth are at the top with the board members because the organization is meant to serve both parties, but the youth is…

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is also known as Diastolic Heart Failure, this “is characterized by restrictive filling and reduced diastolic volume of either [one] or both ventricles with normal or near normal systolic function and wall thickness.” There are many types of Cardiomyopathy, Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the least common type.

This picture shows me as well as a couple of my friends getting camouflage face paint at my 2nd grade birthday party. Just like every other kid's birthday party there was a theme. If you didn't have a theme back then, your party was lame, so mine was Army Training Camp. Unlike most parties though, with simple invitations, a few themed banners, and a classic game of pin-the-tail on the donkey, mine was legitimate. And by legitimate, I mean the most accurate portrayal of a soldiers experience…

In contrast to the tradition of post-mortem photography, Serrano's modern interpretation in The Morgue illustrates emotional tragedies experienced by the subject that are portrayed through grotesque trauma. It is evident from the nature of Andres Serrano’s work that he has a profound interest in, or perhaps obsession with, life, death and mortality. There is a tension between his photographic directness and a theatrically baroque stylization of his provocative themes that are characteristic of…

wrong. While droplets of sweat brim over the tip of my nose, aching muscles bicker in rebellion with each step. I came to a stop as my neck stretched back to examine the enormous mountain that towered over me. As the sun set behind it, an ominous silhouette stared back and cast a shadow over a trail leading into darkness. My friend’s eyes widened in wonder as I commanded, “Hike on!”; the eight of us scaled the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico like a patrol of ants through a rocky backyard. I was an…

Dog food advertisers often use personification and factual claims to support their positions. The most common arguments include that their brand is healthier for your dog and will allow them to live longer. Pedigree took a different approach with a recent ad and presented the importance of relationships between a dog and their owner. The ad displays a lonely man on the beach in one image, and the same image on the right side but with the inclusion of a dog. This Pedigree ad uses the man and the…

the service date. Yet it did its job, the faded blue of the postal Jeep stood outside Edwin’s property, exactly seven minutes past three on a Monday afternoon. Without a greeting, or even the slightest attempt at eye contact, the enigmatic blue silhouette paced through dust, placed something in the sealed box, and hurried off. Within seconds, the Jeep struggled back to life and moved off towards the horizon, blending into the distant shrubbery. Edwin began to walk down the porch stairs,…
