boredom is counterrevolutionary




so i thought this might be a silly little precursor to my next post, in which i do a little calivintage q&a. some fashionable photos of lineups and interrogations. this is a series shot by jason brownrigg titled may ’68, which i assume is referring to france in may of 1968, when a student political movement, paired with a disgruntled working class staged a revolt, taking over several blocks in downtown paris.

as a side note: this is also pertinent, since just last night i watched tout va bien for the second time. it’s a film about a labor strike in a sausage factory in france, starring jane fonda and yves montand. if you’ve already seen a lot of the other godard films, i would recommend giving it a view. if not, then watch breathless or pierrot le fou first!

anyway, these are some lovely, romantic images that captured my eye when i saw them over at nadinoo’s blog, posted as hair inspiration. seriously, these girls have the most amazing hair! and those outfits. dear me. alright, now off to the interrogation room to answer all of those questions you guys asked me!

  1. wow. yes yes and yes to the hair…i wish i could get my bangs to do that, if only my hair weren't so thin! i love french films, and jane fonda was such a looker back then…have you ever seen "barefoot in the park"? with fonda and robert redford, its a cute and silly film i watched when i was little, made me fall in love with jane…

  2. I love the photos.

    I used to have my hair like the girl second from the left. Seeing this now, I want to get it cut again!

  3. Wow, these are amazing. I love the girl with the traditional button-up polo. It reminds me of my boyfriend's Ben Sherman polos.

  4. I've never seen these photos, but they truly are amazing. I love the first three because you get the front, back and profile views.
