Petrouchka

Dark things appeal to me, they always have. So when my dance appreciation teacher introduced us to Petrouchka, I immediately felt an affinity for the sad, mistreated clown with a crooked painted mouth who ends up getting hacked to death (!) by a Moore. I especially liked this photograph of a 1970 production of the ballet. If only it ended a little happier.

Fringe

Peter: The man who was just released from the mental institution, he wants to give you a drug overdose, then stick a metal rod into your head and put you naked into a rusty tank of water.

Walter: No, I don’t want to. No, I’d rather not. I’m just saying I can.

- Fringe, Pilot

It's Lust

A chance meeting at Barnes and Noble... And so dark and twisted. It's lust.

The Art of Balance

Or: I have always loved dark and twisted things.

These are ballet boots designed by Christian Louboutin, photographed by David Lynch for his "Fetish" exhibit. Not only are the shoes absolutely gorgeous, but I am in love with these photographs as well.

The Cell Block Tango

"And now the six merry murderesses of the Crookem County Jail in their rendition of "The Cell Block Tango."


Pop.
Six.
Squish.
Uh uh.
Cicero.
Lipshitz.

Sharp Objects

"How do you keep safe when your whole day is as wide and empty as the sky? Anything could happen." - Sharp Objects, Gillian Flynn

This book is CREEPY, but in all the best ways. At first it seems cliche (It felt like a mix of Blood Memory and Like Being Killed to me), but after a while it just sucks you in. Talk about one creepy family.
