Whatever’s on my mind really.

A peek at illustration inspiring celebrity sexiness, quirky news stories from inherently pornified pop culture, tips, sketchbook and work in progress, reviews and other things of interest; whatever’s on my mind really—which more fool you if you ever take that seriously.

Latest Picks is a sort of mini-blog for daily thoughts and picks. Longer articles, stories & sketches are found in the full-size blog, where indeed Latest Picks are moved when updates to a story make it too large.

Note: Both Latest Picks and Blog are to be retired at the end of September, although both will remain available indefinitely as an archived part of the site. No further updates to past stories will be made.

The quirky contemporary costume last year was a sexy “fake news” outfit (Latest Picks 22nd Sept. 2017) for Orange Don to blame his indiscretions and inability on, this years we have:

Dress up as your failed relationship this Halloween with this ghosted dress (metro.co.uk).

PartyCity Womens Ghosted Costume

For those who don’t know (and seriously, it’s 2018 people, where have you been?) ghosting is where the person you’re dating or talking to pretty much vanishes out of thin air.

With you left waiting for a text, call, DM, or email that is just coming. But it seems you can turn that “dating disaster” into a costume for Halloween with a ghosting themed dress.

Party City is selling the Womens Ghosted Costume—for anyone who’s been ghosted or who has ghosted someone.

Article writer Hattie thankfully clarifying the womens costume is for any that has “been ghosted or who has ghosted someone” in relation to the Metro’s articles on “submarining, fishing, zombieing and of course ghosting” referenced which, keen to live to expectations of an edgy, empowered urban millennial audience to to which it aims to appeal, invariably implicitly suggest ghosting is a ploy of the “emotionless husks, devoid of all empathy” that are “dating App Man”.

The dress is white and comes with a jagged design, and features a number of “sent” iPhone messages from someone being ignored—including “R U OK!?”, “See u tonight?” and “Guess not”.

And retailing for $24.99 (£18.99) with a tip that although it won’t appeal to everyone the wearer could be with a good chance of winning Best dressed—and getting a ghoulishly saucy group hug if perceived as ghosted victim or glass of claret down the dresses white front if as ghosting perpetrator.
