“I want a whole lot more than the boy next door I want hell on wheels” From “ Cool Rider ” by Michelle Pfeiffer Nerds and badasses. Up until at least the early 1980’s you could witness these different humans in the anthropological petri dish known as the American high school cafeteria. Bad asses would be at one table and nerds at another - with little cross-pollination. And it felt as though people were pre-destined from birth to be either one or the other forever. Source: Michael Dobrinski on Unsplash, used with permission In retrospect, these seemingly polar opposite groups actually had something in common. They were both a little off center from the more traditional “normal” kids. Badasses seemed a bit dangerous like the “Greasers” from The Outsiders . They often wore leather jackets, were into cars and motorcycles, smoked, got into fights and often didn’t feel particularly compelled to play by the rules. They seemed both exciting and forbidding.

A driver has been busted with an eerily lifelike mannequin in the passenger seat of his car in a bid to dodge Los Angeles traffic. An officer with the California Highway Patrol noticed the unusually rigid passenger traveling in a Toyota Tacoma in the carpool lane in the Baldwin Park area on Friday. The concerned officer saw the passenger was not moving and pulled the driver over for tinted windows on the 210 Freeway near the Grand Avenue exit in Glendora, NBC Los Angeles reports. However, after the windows were rolled down, it became clear the passenger was nothing more than a clever ruse. "By far, one of the best dummies we have ever seen," the Baldwin Park California Highway Patrol posted to Facebook alongside a snap of the eerily lifelike carpooler. "To clarify, we are referring to this fake passenger." In the photo, the mannequin can be seen propped up and secured with a seat belt, complete with reading glasses, a flannelette shirt and a baseball cap. It even … [Read more...] about California Driver Caught Using Lifelike Mannequin to Dodge Traffic in Carpool Lane

California Highway Patrol officers stopped a man this week for driving in the carpool lane with a female mannequin. The fake passenger was made out of a mannequin head, long brown wig and a bright red Los Angeles Angels sweatshirt stuffed to make it seem more lifelike. Officers nicknamed her "Angel." "Angel didn't have much of a personality as a passenger when we met her this morning during our Carpool Enforcement on #hwy4," the Contra Costa California Highway Patrol (CHP) tweeted on Thursday. "She just oddly stared at us while we issued her chauffeur a ticket for carpool violation. #nicetry #mannequin " The unnamed driver was issued a citation and sent on his way. Earlier in the week, patrol officers stopped another carpool cheater with a dummy. The offending motorist said he had gotten away with his ruse for two years before being stopped. Carpool cheaters are a problem on the other side of the country, too: In May, Highway Patrol Officer Andrew Spina of the Suffolk … [Read more...] about Cops Catch Driver Trying to Skirt HOV Lane Rules with Female Dummy: ‘She Just Oddly Stared at Us’

Melissa Alexander — known professionally as Phyllis Iller — is a veteran photographer from Atlanta, Georgia. Known for celebrating hip-hop and Black resilience, Iller's work was recently featured in Black Light Winter Activation , a show produced by Atlanta-based creative director Ash Nash. It was “an opportunity to bring my dreams to life,” said Alexander of the experience, noting that it gave her an opportunity to showcase photos of a number of exuberant women she admired in her childhood. We spoke to Alexander about growing up in Atlanta's West End, ’90s hip-hop, and documenting the city's "last bastion of Blackness." Tell me everything about this project. What does "Around The Way Girl" mean for you? My project, Around The Way Dreams, stems from my childhood admiration of Queen Latifah, specifically her portrayal of Khadijah James in Living Single, and Big Lez, hostess of BET’s Rap City . On most afternoons after school, I would rush home to see Big Lez … [Read more...] about Around The Way Girls: Photos That Reimagine The Best Of ’90s Black Womanhood
