PHOTOS: The Private Lives And Homoerotic Desires Of G.I. Joe And Ken

“I’m too shy to ask people to model for me, so dolls are an easier option,” queer artist Andrew Woodyatt tells Queerty. “I like subverting manufactured squeaky clean dolls, and explore what their real lives might be like at home away from their plastic public personas. I create their environment in miniature, the grubbiness and sadness, the secret desires.”

Woodyatt is based in East London. He’s been taking pictures ever since his father bought him his first SLR camera when he was 11 years old.

“I definitely have favorite dolls to work with,” Woodyatt continues. “The best one came from a fetish sex shop in Soho and already had pierced nipples.”

Woodyatt says his fascination with dolls is lifelong.

“I started very early on the use dolls in my work,” he says. “My sister had lots of dolls and this epic dolls house. Growing up on trashy TV and lurid comics, I enacted overblown stories with the dolls, usually ending in some terrible disaster or alien invasion, where they all died or had terrible injuries.”

NYT Sheds Light On Latest Helicopter Parenting Trend: “My Son’s Penis Is Too Short”

Could this possibly be a real thing, or is it like most “trends,” just something a writer made up when pitching stories? The New York Times would like us to believe that dads are growing increasingly anxious about the size of their babies’ penises, and they found a doctor all too eager to share his experiences.

“Questions about penis size have become more common over the past decade, as my colleagues and I have all seen more overweight children coming in for physical exams,” writes Dr. Perri Klass.

And it’s not confined to infants: apparently parents are voicing concerns about kids around 10 or 11, which seems waaaaay too old for that sort of involvement.

Generally, doctors advise that kids wait before getting any kind of genital surgery — a lot of things can change once they hit puberty. Losing weight isn’t always a bad thing, either. Apparently a big part of responding to these concerns is reassuring the kid and the parents that they’re going to be fine.

And even if their dicks are abnormally small, it’s not the end of the world. As we’ve all learned from experience, there are plenty of other factors that go into choosing a partner. And it’s often the smaller guys who’ve developed the best techniques.

Of course, if there were ever a sure-fire way of making a kid self-conscious about his genitals, it is having his parents drag him to a doctor to talk about them. Parents, good grief, don’t poke around in your pre-teen’s business like that. If he’s worried, he’s old enough to raise questions himself without you making a big production.

Homophobic Preacher No Match For Bagpipe-Wielding Student

Antigay preacher with a bullhorn, meet your match: A college student with bagpipes.

Brice Ehmig, a political science student at Florida Gulf Coast University, was sick of the preacher targeted her with hate speech over her same-sex relationship.

“After years of dealing with the homophobic comments aimed at me by the preacher, I felt I needed to stand up against these false prophets spewing bigotry,” Ehmig told The Daily Record. “I have fought hard for my rights.”

“I have seen too much tragedy in the LGBTQ community to let a man in cargo pants tell me I am the embodiment of sin,” she added.

The preacher carries on spewing hate but struggles to be heard over the music, attempting to shake her as she follows him. Another man follows with a sign bearing messages about Jesus dying for our sins.

She said she decided she wanted to be braver in her final year of college, motivating her to take a stand. At the end of her performance she called over her girlfriend and the two kissed in front of the men.

“Very few subjects are safe from his preaching,” Ehmig reported. “In the past I have heard him say ‘if you wear shorts like that you are asking to be raped,’ ‘porn leads to hell,’ and ‘If you study the sciences you are going against God.’

“These preachers have been on campus every year that I have been here at the University and they have all been part of the same group. They post videos on YouTube, which primarily record hostile situations, law enforcement interactions and close calls with angered citizens.”

Watch the video below and let us know what you think of her act of protest in the comments below.
