Few material possessions as wondrous or satisfying as a clean, well-designed car. Fiat Cinquecento via Frango.

Two more of a seemingly endless number of terrific Sartorialist photos, both staged for a commercial shoot (models being blogger’s children and friends).

I couldn’t resist.  Also via Frango, it’s the eye and the eyebrow that get me.  Automotive design can be so auto-emotive, not to mention auto-erotic.

Via Frango.

Jezebel’s usual raison is gossip and catty sarcasm, but this moving photo tells another story, that of women at a campaign rally for moderate presidential candidate Houssein Mousavi (Getty Image).

Andre de Dienes famous 1953 photo,  one of a series from the Julien’s Auction Summer Sale. Silver gelatin printed circa 1958, artist stamped, 11×12 3/4 inches; auction estimate $2,000-$4,000, minimum bid $1,000.  Cocktail dresses, purses, furs, jewelry, and a ‘Seven-Year Itch” cardboard promotional stand-up, among other fetish objects, also available.

For my money, nothing starts the day like a nice pint of milk.
