Raging electrical storm last night in Monroe, Michigan. Have never seen lightening like that - it shook the house. So scary I jumped out of bed, cowered on the floor at 3am. When we woke up, the entire creek behind Tom’s house looked like a muddy version of Lake Erie. And the power’s out. No wifi!!!. #michigan #michigansummer #summerstorm #electricalstorm #lightening #thunder #powerouttage

The NY Times’ Vanessa Friedman takes issue with excessive air-brushing and facial augmentation she feels is on the cover of Sept. Vogue. (This shot is from the 90s). But these women didn’t ASK to be role models. Magazines are about fantasy. If they were about reality, no one would buy them. Sorry. #vogue #voguemagazine #septemberissue #cindycrawford #lindaevangelista #naomicampbell #christyturlington #airbrushing #voguecover #plasticsurgery
