Impulse Control Problems

Go both ways, don't they?

Vice Published a Fashion Spread of Female Writer Suicides [Updated]
Vice's Women in Fiction issue is an interesting package. There's a short story by Mary Gaitskill here, an interview with Marilynne Robinson there, and a short story by Joyce Carol Oates over yonder. And then...there's the fashion spread. Featuring models styled and posed as famous female writers who have killed themselves. At their times of death.

UPDATE: Vice has disappeared the post from its Web site. The magazine's editors say they "apologize to anyone who was hurt or offended."
Behold the power of dopamine.
