She was apparently a suicide, as her body showed no marks of violence, but her beauty and her enigmatic smile led a Paris pathologist to order a plaster death mask of her face.</p> <p>In the romantic atmosphere of <em>fin de siècle</em> Europe, the girl’s face became an ideal of feminine beauty. The protagonist of Rainer Maria Rilke’s 1910 novel <em>The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge</em> writes, ‘The mouleur, whose shop I pass every day, has hung two plaster masks beside his door. [One is] the face of the young drowned woman, which they took a cast of in the morgue, because it was beautiful, because it smiled, because it smiled so deceptively, as if it knew.’</p> <p>Ironically, in 1958 the anonymous girl’s features were used to model the first-aid mannequin Rescue Annie, on which thousands of students have practiced CPR. Though the girl’s identity remains a mystery, her face, it’s said, has become ‘the most kissed face of all time.’”</p> </blockquote>http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22723045092http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22723045092Wed, 09 May 2012 13:41:32 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sf67B0Wl1qlq9poo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sf67B0Wl1qlq9poo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sf67B0Wl1qlq9poo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sf67B0Wl1qlq9poo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theremina.tumblr.com/post/22693924783/photographer-tim-engle-airbrushed-makeup">theremina</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Photographer: <span><span>Tim Engle</span></span></p> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="post-labels">(airbrushed makeup)</span></div> </blockquote>http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22722476422http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22722476422Wed, 09 May 2012 13:27:52 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3qvml3ifa1qzpq0qo1_400.png"/><br/><br/>http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22715838517http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22715838517Wed, 09 May 2012 10:23:15 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3o1jxHiHS1qmud5eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://collaterlysisters.tumblr.com/post/22597599474">collaterlysisters</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>im mad as hell and not gonna take it any more</p> </blockquote>http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22618058729http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22618058729Mon, 07 May 2012 19:53:59 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3biw43UHh1qzokcdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>©Veronika von Volkova</em></p> <p><em>Model and dancer: The elegant and delightful Rhonda Clark</em></p> <p>Dear internet,</p> <p>The big lovely canvas version of this image is currently on display at <a href="http://www.mediatheque-lecreusot.fr/">Médiathèque du Creusot</a> along with the rest of the permanent collection from the <a href="http://videodansebourgogne.com/">Festival International de Vidéo Danse de Bourgogne</a>. </p> <p>So if you find yourself in Burgundy and craving dance imagery sometime before May 13, now you know one place to find it.</p> <p>XO</p> <p>Veronika</p>http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22158752798http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22158752798Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:33:00 -0400dancephotographydanseBurgundy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yolmVqQS1qeyz07o10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vizzz.tumblr.com/post/21691087362/10-trans-women-who-were-killed-by-hate-crimes">vizzz</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(10 trans women who were killed by hate crimes. the other 10 are located <a href="http://vizzz.tumblr.com/post/21690900701/10-women-who-were-killed-in-hate-crimes-the">here</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22045186405http://impetuousheadlongrush.com/post/22045186405Sun, 29 Apr 2012 09:10:29 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2xd8qN2zO1qzrdsyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theremina.tumblr.com/post/21639079451/daniel-jackson-captures-top-chinese-models-liu">theremina</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/photographer/daniel-jackson/">Daniel Jackson</a><span> captures top Chinese models </span><a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/model/liu-wen/">Liu Wen</a><span>, </span><a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/model/sui-he/">Sui He</a><span> and </span><a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/model/ming-xi-model/">Ming Xi</a><span> alongside ballet dancer Justin Peck for an emotive story featured in the May issue of </span><em><a href="http://www.vogue.com.cn/" rel="nofollow">Vogue China</a></em><span>.
