Anime

Flying Squids vs. Pol Pot

Narutaru seemed a nice little show based on the opening credits and the first episode. By episode three, we have the bad guy proposing Pol Pot's Year Zero program.* Urk.

If he doesn't end up messily dead by the end of the series, there's no justice.

Update: Well, yes, a ten-foot blade through the chest should do nicely.

On the one hand, Narutaru seems to have gotten some really bad reviews. On the other hand, the worst of those were clearly written by idiots, and even the others seem to be of the "I don't understand it therefore it's bad" pattern. We'll see.

Update: On the third hand, this review, which is the only one I've seen that makes the Khmer Rouge link, gives it 4 stars.

* Not by name, but "A simpler society is better. There's no need for electrical or water services. Return to the original agricultural civilisation. I'll kill all medical eggheads, wealthy people and cultured people." doesn't leave much room for discussion.

1 Yeah, but his buddies show up not long after. They're real pieces of work. Narutaru is insanely great on its own merits, but the opening credits is the worst case of fraudulent advertising I have yet encountered, unless you count "Michael Moore makes documentaries".
My main beef with the series is that it's far too short at 13 episodes. It doesn't so much end as conclude.
I didn't comment on the Khmer Rouge philosophy, because it's far too common in anime villaindom. I can't quite make out whether this is a serious trend in Japanese blackhattery, or just the East Asian equivalent of "Nazis. I hate those guys."

13 Camilla Belle in a 2009 dress by christian louboutin outlet Alexander McQueen, listed among "100 Best Dresses of the Decade" by InStyle Magazine.
McQueen's early runway collections developed his reputation for controversy and shock tactics (earning the title "l'enfant terrible" and "the hooligan of English fashion"), with trousers aptly named "bumsters" and a collection entitled "Highland Rape".McQueen was known for his lavish, unconventional runway shows: a recreation of a shipwreck for his spring 2003 collection; spring 2005's human chess game; and his fall 2006 show "Widows of Culloden," which featured a life-sized hologram of supermodel Kate Moss dressed in yards of rippling fabric.
McQueen's "bumsters" christian louboutin outlet spawned a trend in low rise jeans; on their debut they attracted many comments and debate. Michael Oliveira-Salac, the director of Blow PR and a friend of McQueen's said that "The bumster for me is what defined McQueen." McQueen also became known for using skulls in his designs. A scarf bearing the motif became a celebrity must-have and was copied around the world.
McQueen has been credited with bringing drama and extravagance to the catwalk. He used new technology and innovation to add a different twist to his shows and often shocked and surprised audiences. The silhouettes that he created have been credited for adding a sense of fantasy and rebellion to fashion. McQueen became one of the first designers to use Indian models in London.
McQueen also designed a range of christian louboutin outlet dresses under the name of "manta", priced at around £2800. The line, named after the manta ray, was inspired by a holiday McQueen took in the Maldives in 2009. The designs have been worn by various models and celebrities, including Lily Cole.
Givenchy appointment
The president of LVMH, jimmy choo outlet Bernard Arnault, caused a stir when he appointed McQueen head designer at Givenchy in 1996, succeeding John Galliano. Upon arrival at Givenchy, McQueen insulted the founder by calling him "irrelevant". His first couture collection with Givenchy was unsuccessful, with even McQueen telling Vogue in October 1997 that the collection was "crap". McQueen toned down his designs at Givenchy, but continued to indulge his rebellious streak, causing controversy in autumn 1998 with a show which included spraying paint over white cotton dresses and double amputee model Aimee Mullins striding down the catwalk on intricately carved wooden legs. McQueen stayed with Givenchy until March 2001, when the contract he said was "constraining his creativity" ended.
Accomplishments
Some of jimmy choo outlet McQueen's accomplishments included being one of the youngest designers to achieve the title "British Designer of the Year", which he won four times between 1996 and 2003; he was also awarded the CBE and named International Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers in 2003.
December 2000 saw a new partnership jimmy choo outlet for McQueen, with the Gucci Group acquiring 51% of his company and McQueen serving as Creative Director. Plans for expansion included the opening of stores in London, Milan and New York, and the launch of his perfumes Kingdom and, most recently, My Queen. In 2005, McQueen collaborated with Puma to create a special line of trainers for the shoe brand. In 2006 he launched McQ, a younger, more renegade lower priced line for men and women.
McQueen became the first herve leger outlet designer to participate in MAC's promotion of cosmetic releases created by fashion designers. The collection, McQueen, was released on 11 October 2007 and reflected the looks used on the Autumn/Winter McQueen catwalk. The inspiration for the collection was the Elizabeth Taylor movie Cleopatra, and thus the models sported intense blue, green, and teal eyes with strong black liner extended Egyptian-style. McQueen handpicked the makeup.
Company
By the herve leger outlet end of 2007, Alexander McQueen had boutiques in London, New York, Los Angeles, Milan and Las Vegas. Celebrity patrons, including Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rihanna, have frequently been spotted wearing Alexander McQueen clothing to events. Bj?rk and Lady Gaga have often incorporated Alexander McQueen pieces in their music videos.
By wearing his designs, celebrities such as the herve leger outlet above mentioned have further increasesd the notability of the McQueen brand. It almost seems as if he created these extravagent designs for those "out there" artists like Lady Gaga, who can appreciate the crazy and fun spirit that go along with the peices. The shoes that Lady Gaga was featured wearing in her "Bad Romance" video which was released in 2010 almost defy nature in itself, by portraying a whole new, very unrealistic shape of a foot. He went beyond the natural and normative of fashion with pieces such as these, and by doing so became a famous trend-setter.
