In the December issue of Vogue Italia, a photo spread by Stephen Meisel that pays design homage to Twitter and Twitpic. Caption the one above at your own peril, in the comments. Fashioncopious: scanned images part 1, and here is part 2. (thanks, Susannah Breslin)

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.

The technology that links taxonomy and Star Trek

  • dmabury

    Half-naked, possibly underage, stuffed into a fridge, and obviously starving to death. This isn’t a fashion spread, it’s a crime-scene photo. Nauseating.

    • blueelm

      Check out the one on the toilet for pure klass. This is what happens when high fashion tries to re-create the genuine spontaneity of youth culture. You get weird fetishistic crap with the visual artifacts bizarrely preserved. Can you imaging the lighting used in this set to emulate that flash and then shopping in that great hipster-yellow tinge you know so it looks like it was shot in rural Moldavia with 20 year old equipment.

  • technogeek

    “No costume is no costume.”

    “Why is there a half-naked maniac in my fridge? I don’t remember buying one…”

    “Girl, it’s time you came out of the closet.”

  • ethicalcannibal

    Being startled by seeing a half naked 16 year old was not what I was hoping for today. Eww.

  • blueelm

    This is your daughter on meth.

  • blueelm

    I don’t think these are so much based on twitter as on some old dudes pervy iphone pic collection of his kid’s friends naked, or of teenaged hookers.

  • scifijazznik

    “Must…have…the Precious…”

    • Suds

      Gollum was my first thought too!

    Pedobear approves!

    WHERE DID YOU HIDE MY CRACK

  • Anonymous

    Her bag, behind her, says she’s a NutLander, so just be quiet and let her do her job.

  • Rich Keller

    To quote Daffy Duck: “What do you know? The little light – it stays on!”

    • Anonymous

      I thought it said “Nut lancer”, which made me cringe involuntarily.

  • scifijazznik

    a NSFW warning on the link would have been nice…..

  • Anonymous

    While I’m sure she is probably of age, that pic makes her look about 11. Eww. Eww. Eww.

    • No More Mr Nice Guy

      I really wouldn’t be so sure. And even if that were true, I’m not convinced that makes it okay.

  • palahala

    (Actually looking at the composition and not just the girl, will show it’s not a refrigerator at all?)

    It had an awfully long time since he’d been in the chalet, so Roman was very pleased to see that nobody had touched his toys.

    • scifijazznik

      ding ding ding! we have a winner!

    • blueelm

      I believe you win an internet!

  • AnoniMouse

    Re: Gollum
    Here is another chick, same site, that is truly the 12 year old emaciated prostitute version of Smeagol.

  • AnoniMouse

    Shit. Sorry, here is the Gollum link.
