"The images that we test ourselves against have changed, becoming at once subtler and more blatant, but they're no less difficult to resist. Besides, the old images are still around, some more potent than ever. Brando in a white t-shirt, Marky Mark in white briefs, Marilyn Monroe with her skirt billowing up, Kate Moss lying nude on a velvet couch: icons-r-us we love them; we hate them; we pretend not to care." - Vince Aletti from Apeture "Male /Female" issue 156
