Revenge Pornography -

I suppose Revenge Pornography is truly a sign of our wired times. For those of you who have drunkenly or privately shared photos and those images of your naughty bits and those pictures have shown up on the web, ‘implied confidentiality’ might be a legal defense for you.

The TR7 was characterized by its Harris Mann designed “wedge” shape, commonly advertised as: “The Shape of Things to Come”, ultimately the car was plagued by so many problems people jokingly referred to it as The Shape of Things To Come And We Were Glad To See It Leave Too. Most notably a yellow TR7 was driven by the the character Purdey in the British series, The New Avengers, produced between 1976 and 1977. In 1978 Coca-Cola and Levi’s ran promotional competitions with the top prizes being three TR7s in special red and white Coke livery. They also featured denim upholstery and genuine jean patch pockets on the door interiors.

Including this great line from Jimmy Webb manager and buyer: “Lou Reed’s 1972 ode to hustlers, transsexuals and transsexual hustlers would alter Mr. Webb’s life. ‘A friend asked, ‘Do you know what it means?’ ’ he recalled. ‘I did without knowing it. I knew I was a boy that had to leave to go somewhere.’”

“The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antenna of the lightening rods, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls.” — … Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
