Creepy Chan
I’ve been obsessed with this picture of Allison Harvard (aka Creepy Chan) after I first read about her in a Wired.com blog post (just look at that blank look in her eyes). Once the darling of 4chan, she rose to fame by becoming the runner-up on my roommates favorite TV show: America’s Next Top Model. I don’t know if that’s a rags-to-riches story so much as a…you know what? I don’t know what kind of story it is. All I know is that she posted some pretty artsy pictures of herself on 4chan then got sort of normal, disappointing her original fan base.
Read more about Creepy Chan on Encyclopedia Dramatica, then check out these tracks below. They don’t really have anything to do with her, but I’ve been listening to them lately.
Thieves Like Us - Your Heart Feels
Veronica Maggio - Måndagsbarn (Le Prix Remix)
(Thanks to Discobelle for this one - they’re always dropping good Swedish stuff) (Apparentally Veronica is a big deal in Sweden)
Catch more Thieves Like Us on Myspace. I’m sure they’d love to have you as a friend.
I loved Allison. I liked her better than ol’ what’s-her-name who won. Allison had this dreamy/crazy blankness that all the best models have. At one point on ANTM, she actually turned off her mental-verbal filter and said “You’re pretty” to Tyra in the dreamiest, spaciest voice possible. I LOVE ALLISON!
amazing picture.. there’s definitely something otherworldly about her blank look..
wonderful song by Thieves Like Us too…
That is an interesting blogpost, Looking forward to some of your future blogposts
