It's gettin stale, so...

What's everyone going to be for Halloween?
After you tell me via comment, check out the following interesting links for this week:

And here's a quote from Gawker:
Fortunately, a number of inexpensive bed and breakfasts have popped up to save you from the indignity of sharing your cramped studio with your judgmental parents for an uncomfortable weekend. Let's look at Loftstel, an organization offering accommodations in Brooklyn.

"At Loftstel.com, we provide beautiful spacious apartments for our guests. It's an affordable hotel option, especially if you're one of the following: • A large family who needs more space than a cramped hotel room. • A tourist interested in low-cost accommodations. • Someone who is moving to New York. • Driving a car and don't want to pay for parking"

Sounds great! What's the catch?

"Our brownstone is located in historic Bedford Stuyvesant. It's a perfectly safe neighborhood, but the demographics (it's a Caribbean neighborhood) may make some people who aren't used to city life uncomfortable."

Wow, thanks for letting us know! We've got to assume that, at the very least, the sheets are white, white, white.

AND FINALLY, for those of you interesting in the politics of imagemaking and publication, check out this comparison of two magazine covers from the same month featuring the same woman (Yoojin Kim.)

Interesting, no? Interesting, yes.
