From the photoseries ‘Alone Time’ by JJ Levine, wherein apparently hetero couples are portrayed by a single model. Levine describes himself as a:
‘…queer and trans identifying artist…I never alter body shapes or gender traits digitally. These images are convincing by no means other than costume, makeup, pose, and gesture. This technical detail further demonstrates that bodies and gender presentations can be malleable or subject to change’.
The referendum on the impeachment of Tom Lenihan has been defeated.

Speaking to The Last Word on Today FM this evening, Brian Kerr told Matt Cooper that he believes Mick McCarthy has been disrespected by the FAI in their process to select a new manager for the national side. He also revealed that Martin O’Neill had met with FAI officials before the World Cup qualifier against Sweden in September, while Giovanni Trapattoni was still in charge of the team…
Classy.

We couldn’t be there on the night (as we hadn’t been invited).
But The Best Group Blog 2013 award was delivered THIS morning.
But NOT to Karl’s Den the Broadsheet office.
Karl’s ma won’t have it in the house.
Because this was a ‘group’ award it’s not just ours.
It’s YOURS.
Therefore, it now nestles between a vase and a ‘traditional’ African shield on a shelf in the home of John Gallen, a tireless Broadsheet reader and friend we have never met.

It’s sitting proud on the cubby in my hall way.
Mmf.

The DoubleTree Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin, this afternoon.
Formerly the Burlington Hotel before all the property unpleasantness.
Named after Dublin character Billy DoubleTrees, who wandered around the city in the 1950s carrying two small poplars.
Good times
