Regarding the question I got about tattoo artists around the same time as Sailor Jerry (Norman Keith Collins)…
It was not uncommon to see members of the Navy tattooed heavily tattooed, especially after WWII, on the West Coast.
The Australian R.M. Reynolds is the tattoo artist who, along with “Sailor Jerry”, influenced the majority of the tattoo world, well through the 1980s, and again with those who crave the “vintage” and “historical”-type tattoo designs. Both R.M. Reynolds and Norman Keith Collins were heavily influenced by the tattoo culture of South-East Asia, and throughout their career, would often take the designs of one another and make them their own. Ed Hardy and Rollo banks took over for “Sailor Jerry” in the United States, but in Australia and the rest of the world, R.M. Reynolds’ designs had been so widely seen and copied, that his legacy was carried on without any one designated “heir”.

I’d feel more comfortable with dudes opening doors for me if instead of saying “ladies first” they said “eagle one is on the premises, make way for madam president, I repeat eagle one is on the premises”

Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.
don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww
#also don’t forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan
also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier.
Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.

When i was 10, I sent a letter to Lemony Snicket. I didn’t receive a personal reply, but I got one of these. 7 years later I realized that there’s a message formed out of the missing letters.
hooooly fuck when you decipher it
