Vigilant Citizen – Vigilant Citizen July 3, 2012
In the July edition of the Symbolic Pics of the Month: Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Katharine McPhee. Also: What the hell is wrong with the fashion world?

This photoshoot from Bulgarian fashion mag 12 Magazine features models mutilated in all kinds of sick ways. While the photoshoot is supposed to showcase “makeup”, it is mostly another way of glamorizing violence and dehumanization in mass media, especially in the fashion world. This model has a black eye which is also a way to flash the one eye sign.

Star Photographer Terry Richardson has been featured a few times on this site due to his disturbing, degrading and symbolic photoshoots. A recent example is this photoshoot featuring the troubled actress Lindsay Lohan. In this pic, she is holding a loaded gun to her head. The most unsettling thing about this pic is Lohan’s expression – she appears genuinely not well.

This Disney shirt is sold in Target stores everywhere. I guess that’s a good way have little girls where the one-eye sign everywhere they go.
