robantha:

In two days, I’ll be heading back to the ATL.
My old stomping grounds! I could not be more excited.

No worries. We’ve been keeping it awesome for you.

Except for the Westin, which is still missing windows.

Octobriana and the Russian Underground by Petr Sadecky, 1971

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octobriana:

According to the 1971 book Octobriana and the Russian Underground by Peter Sadecky, Octobriana was created in the 1960’s by a group of dissident Russian artists calling themselves Progressive Political Pornography (PPP). However it has been suggested that the story given by Sadecky was untrue and that Octobriana was, in fact, his own creation.

Petr Sadecky, while still in Prague, enlisted the help of two Czech artists, Bohumil Konečný and Zdenek Burian, in creating a comic centering around the character of “Amazona.”
Sadecky told the two that he had a buyer interested in the comic, and they worked together on writing and illustrating the Amazona comic. However, Sadecky betrayed his friends by stealing all the artwork and escaping to the West, where, in his efforts to market the Amazona comic, he changed the dialog, drew a red star on the character’s forehead, and was successful only after turning Amazona into a fake political statement, “Octobriana: the spirit of the October Revolution.”

Major inconsistencies in his story, and a frame in his book where Octobriana is referred to as “Amazona” (p. 83), lend credence to this story. In addition, Burian and Konecny sued Sadecky in a West German court, winning the case but never recovering all their stolen artwork.
Since Octobriana is still widely thought to be the product of dissident cells within the U.S.S.R., she is not copyrighted, and has appeared in a variety of artistic incarnations.

Isn’t it weird how much she looks like actual Rihanna?

Unfortunately, he finished the game in last place because the categories were “Kinds of Khakis They Sell at The Gap,” “Journey’s Greatest Hits,” “Popular Species of House Plants,” “What It’s Like to Be Gainfully Employed,” and “The Food Pyramid.”

I started ANOTHER new blog, this one to house quotes — some in image form and some in text — from essays that kids in my classes have written. They are phenomenal, like snowflakes made of glittery, watermelon-flavored napalm.
