Who you looking at?

Double shirt, shorts, nerd glasses. Yes, I am looking.

My future self looks heaven-ward

 

Looking toward the sky at Tori no ichi festival, at Hanazono shrine. I wonder what’s up there.

Cast of HBO’s “Looking” shot riding always troubled MUNI

Set to start in January, 2014. Looks uber hipster. Will it be serious or campy?

 

HBO filming at famous SF sex club Eros

 

This real-life site of gay worship, Eros, will be featured in the new HBO series Looking, which sounds like a gay male cross between Girls and Sex and the City. I feel like they’re filming in my “home.” Hope it turns out fun.

Police are looking busy at Imperial Palace, Part II

Have I mentioned that visiting the Emperor on his twice a year speeches is extremely satisfying for those who enjoy seeing men in uniform?

Police are looking busy at Imperial Palace

A flock of Japanese police, especially when assigned to the Imperial Palace, perfectly captures the appearance of being busy. I think the men are as stylized and ordered as the luxuriously pruned black pine garden behind them.

Shirtless navy boys climbing obelisk coated in lard

It’s an annual freshman event at the Annapolis naval academy. I think I got pregnant just looking at this photo. Many more photos on Buzzfeed. Via JoeMyGod.

Is it OK for a teen boy to wear this t-shirt?

“Spread eagle,” worn as a three pink tone, muscle t-shirt by a neighborhood lad, is an invitation to a crime. Recently I saw an even more directly inappropriate teen t-shirt message: “Arctic Monkeys, Suck it and See.” This music fan may not have understood the lyrics, but his hair and outfit were asking to be observed.

I still have not discovered what the Japanese word for jailbait is. What is the age of consent, or of propriety? Are the teens somehow complicit? Even looking feels like a crime.

Cops are often good-looking

As someone who is not often respectful of authority, I am always struck by how good-looking Tokyo cops are. And there’s nothing better than small groups of them looking busy!
