Like if you found out your high school was actually a cult. Eerie pastels, scrunchy socks, stuffy button-downs, and iconography of all kinds. Satan's School, Organized Robots, The Virgin Suicides, Grace Miceli, Allison Harvard, Craig McDean for Vogue Italia, Google street view, and Bombay by El Guincho.
Submissions to the magazine end at midnight Central time tomorrow, Friday the 19th! Please reread the requirements before submitting, and be sure to send it to magazinesubmissionsarefun@gmail.com instead of my blog email because any sent there will be deleted, as will any emails sent after midnight tomorrow (I've said it before and I'll say it again -- we wanna get moving!) Thank you to everyone who has submitted so far and I can't wait to start taking a look over the weekend.

Hey, check the pictures... there are errors.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the vast majority of the post is "currently unavailable" :( But, uhm, it sounds super cool and spooky...
ReplyDeleteOops! Thanks for letting me know. Fixed it :)
ReplyDeleteI recognized the photos for Vogue Italia because I bought that issue (actually to be precise, my mom bought it because I told her I needed it for school). My first European magazine, and also my most expensive. All of my other foreign magazines are Asian ones, which are pretty cool too (street snaps are pretty darn amazing).
ReplyDeleteI like that last picture, by the way. It looks uncomfortable.

ReplyDeletethis is a self portrait by alison harvard
i remember alison. she was a semi myspace celebrity and ended up on america's next top model. weird spooky girl, makes sense to include her in this sequence.
ReplyDeleteThat last braid picture is terrifying!
ReplyDeleteOh I remember that ed in Vogue Italia with the robots... I sort of stared at it for minutes before saving it on my computer.
ReplyDeleteThe first 'unknown' is indeed by Allison Harvard, who I believe was an America's Next Top Model contestant but had these way-too-cool-for-Tyra pre-show shots...
awesome catholic school and eerie/kitchy vibes.
ReplyDelete>^.^<
last picture is by the artist group jan family i am pretty sure...
ReplyDeletebadass idea and post. love the photos that you picked to correlate the theme.
ReplyDeleteHey! The last picture is taken from the clip of the song "Bombay" from el Guincho. Awesome video, awesome song.
ReplyDeleteThe director of this video is Nicolas Mendez.

ReplyDeleteDoesn't that girl in the Catholic school uniform look like Alison Harvard/Creepy-chan?? I'm pretty sure it's her! 8D

ReplyDeleteI read one of your comments on a blog called www.texerrors.com.
ReplyDeleteWe sat and laughed for hours on the website. It shows txt mess sent to wrong person.

Tavi,
ReplyDeleteYou will laugh, I did send my application - how odd of me, there will be thousands of applicants which reduces my chances next to zero (usually I am not lucky at castings), besides, I cannot compete with native speakers... however, I gave it a try! I sent my messages to the said email address - I hope there are no automatic replies, because I have not got any thus far.
ha ha ! kirsten dunst is so good at being evil!

I was OBSESSED with Allison Harvard hen I was 16.
ReplyDeleteGreat subject!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't advertise my own post if it wouldn't be EXACTLY on your theme here (eerie pastels crossovering horror movies), you might be interested in my HORROR PASTEL PROJECT!
http://rossovelvet.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/the-horror-pastel-project/#comments
Incredible job on your blog as usual anyway, and I will also try my best to send a submission for the magazine later today ;)

Darn, you holiday! I'm now behind on everything! :-( I have some catching up to do! But as I've said in some tweets that I just sent you, Tavi, I would love to help with the magazine in any way that I can :-)
ReplyDeleteTHAT AMAZE ME!
ReplyDeleteHey! I love Allison Harvard..wasn't she on ANTM a few cycles ago? She is so pretty and mysterious and her eyes are so amazing!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the magazine! Totally cool and exciting you must be thrilled!!
Lets say you sent in a submission when would we hear back from you?? R the submissions to be a part of the masthead???

I love your blog
I always love the photos you pick out!
ReplyDeletewww.FashionSnag.com
lol, Creepy-Chan. she always reminds me a bit of the girl on the cover of the first Eels album.
ReplyDeletethe overall mood here again feels somewhat Lynch-esque. nice sampling.
that photo of kirsten dunst makes me want to re-watch/re-read the virgin suicides.
ReplyDeletei already submitted to the lovely as of yet unnamed magazine, but now i'm all antsy... do you have any idea when you'll be able to give a response time? a week? two weeks? a month?
I like how all of your influence lately seem to belong to a general category of the creepy, uncanny, horrifying, etc.
ReplyDeleteit just makes a highly-fashiony outfit more emphasized in a context that renders it more or less ridiculous. because who cares about your shoes when you are chased by a crazy person with a knife?

ReplyDeletelast picture is a frame taken from the El Guincho's Bombay music video. It is all imagery inspired by the blogosphere, very interesting and more beautiful

the virgin suicides.. god how i love that movie <3
ReplyDeletehttp://danielsbible.blogspot.com/ love you Tavi <3
ReplyDeleteI like I like :)
ReplyDeletelauradelight.blogspot.com
I don't know how I feel about any of this creepy/satanic/virginal/demented pastel/technicolor/the sex appeal of blondes getting killed phase. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely respect whenever someone is intelligent enough to pull similar images from dissimilar sources based on a common thread as you've done here, it's just that when I look at these pictures I think of going to my grandma's house on sunday afternoons. She has cats and doesn't open the windows so it's really stuffy and cat-smelling and when the afternoon sun shines in through the living room window onto all the dusty 70s furniture it makes me feel empty, cracked, and dry inside. What perplexes and amazes me is that you obviously REALLY like this general idea. Which is cool because it illustrates how differently people view things but is disconcerting because I could never imagine someone actually gravitating towards this theme.
ReplyDeletegreat picture selection, nice inspiration

Great pics! I love it all.

You make the best collages, really. I wish you could come and redecorate my house for me. I would probably be scared all the time, but at least it would be fabulous...
ReplyDeletethe last pic was also done by a euro artist collective called janfamily. google them and you will see their version..
ReplyDeletegreat Japanese blog! lovely!
ReplyDeleteand I like Kirsten Dunst's picture from Virgine Suicide!!
http://leblogdemasha.blogspot.com/
the intertwined braids was also done well by the european artist collective, janfamily. other things also, like "how to stop time" where they taped the autumn leaves back on the tree:)
ReplyDeleteHmm I wonder how many entries you got. I'm guessing a lot. This should be good I can't wait to see what comes out of you guys.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's cutting it fine/doing it by the seat of my pants! Just sent my 2 part submission in :-)) I'm guessing the cut off time is Chicago time. Which from what I can work out is Friday Nov. 19 around 11:30pm!
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures, especially the Google street view! Wow
ReplyDeletehttp://procrastinationpictures.blogspot.com/
Crap... I think I sent mine in too late.. is the cut-off time EXACTLY midnight..? =.=
ReplyDeleteeep this is genius <3 I actually think that last picture is really adorable. and allison is a creeper for sure.
ReplyDeleteI think the last picture of the girls with the one braid is from a video called Bombay by el Guincho, you can check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CreEuaS8QY

hahaaha love this post, high school was defiantly run by some evil mastermind since they were capable of convincing are parents to keep sending us back just to be repeatedly tortured...
ReplyDeleteI also hated my dining room table, because whenever we all sat down by it your dad would ask
"how was school today"....
EVERYDAY
as if he had to send a progress report to whoever was organizing this crime against youth....
I love your blog and I just read about your plans on creating a new generation Sassy.
I really would love to be a part of it by submitting articles such as the one above...
and although im 20 years of age and managed to grasp that last descent piece of teen rebellion, I hope to save my 16 year old little sister though from the Disney sex symbol starlets and the anti social...social networks such as facebook.....I mean serioully 489 friends?! And what uve met 20 of them?
So if you’d give me a shot at this...

ooohhh, i like this very much. it also makes me think of "picnic at hanging rock" it's a brilliant, creepy movie if you haven't seen it, and incidentally, it was on TCM (or one of the old movie channels) last night. yes, this post is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really like photos that you share.. as always, especially the last photo. It's great idea to do something like that ;).
ReplyDeletehttp://danielsbible.blogspot.com/ good pics tavi !!
ReplyDeleteI adore The Virgin Suicides, is an amazing film :)
ReplyDeleteHope everything for the magazine goes to plan, cannot wait to see what you produce!

ReplyDeleteI bet this post accidently generates a spike in the nit population.
ReplyDeleteoh no i sent mine to the wrong email i capitalized every word of the address. :(
ReplyDeletethe lst picture is from el guincho's video bombay.(http://diedaxx.blogspot.com/2010/11/great.html)
ReplyDeletethe picture is at 4:14!
i think it a really great video!
when will the magazine staff be decided on? :)
ReplyDeletei love the braid picture, its wonderfully macabre
I'm surprised you didn't have Suspiria in the list. Late '70's Italian B-movie about a boarding school with a coven of secret witches that's *gasp* killing people randomly. Deliciously bad. You'd really enjoy it. Unless you already have.

Awh, of course I missed these posts. No matter how much college applications want to pretend to be important, I will never forgive them for diverting my attention from the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteAll this high school creepy reminds me of some less pastel versions: a ridiculous Japanese horror film called Suicide Club (http://www.best-horror-movies.com/image-files/suicide-club-subway-school-children.jpg) and this movie, The Tracey Fragments (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-TbdIKhvn4).
