Miranda July Strikes Again...

I am very much in love with the way Miranda July thinks; it's odd, somewhat topsy-turvy, singular while still being accessible and personal, and it's strong enough to carry emotion through and past the initial viewing and/or reading. I've posted in the past about her book, "No One Belongs Here More Than You" and her movie, "Me You And Everyone We Know," but she just keeps bringing the heat, and I'm talking microwave heat, candle heat, oven heat, body temperature heat, all of it.

For example, I was perusing my google reader today during lunch and as always, there were several posts form Jeff Hamada over at BOOOOOOOM!. One of them covered a series of recent photos Miranda art directed, and likely took. In each one she's posing as an extra from a classic American movie. Facial expressions, outfits, props, she gets it all and it's all pretty damn awesome. I've included the photos below but a head nod to boooooom and of course to Miranda herself.
