Today the fashion magazine Vogue tweeted this photograph. The caption read:

“Is your hair holiday party ready?”

 

I found it more than a little disturbing (and no, it wasn’t because of the missing hyphen in the compound adjective “holiday party”, as bad as that is). To me the photograph leapt off the screen as macabre image of a civilization in the descending stages of mortal decay.

It isn’t her hair that gives me the willies, though. It’s the death in those eyes — and that horrifying smile.
