i throw myself at men


"i have a bizarrely good vertical leap," says Lilly McElroy, photographer extraordinaire whose latest series involved literally throwing herself at men while a friend captured the moment on film. i'm so enamored of her physical play on the loaded phrase. her flying leaps are rad, but the guys' reactions are possibly even more entertaining. look at dude #3! he's not even bothering to try catching her! i don't think he got the memo that it wasn't supposed to be a DudeBro Chest Thump (there's got to be an official name for that).

I gotta get on this situationist-media bandwagon.


via my new favorite blog of the last ten minutes. NO WONDER I DON'T GET ANYTHING DONE.

hey kira
reading your blog bestows a fleeting sense of enlightenment upon me, then back to the uncultured ruffian i generally am

shouldnt the photgraphy acclaim be going to whoevers actually taking the pictures of her?

i just looked at a few of those leaping and location photos

conceptually i like the location ones (i wonder how long she takes to set up the shot, i like the laundromat one) more but the leaping pictures are incredible in the one-moment-or-you-miss-it sense
