Howard’s dirty pillows

20121201-131150.jpgHoward packs up his Star Trek action figures, light sabres, and dirty pillows to move out of his Mother’s house and in with his Smurfette wife, Bernadette. I think it is safe to say that the use of leopard print in Howard Wolowitz’s bedroom as part of his boudoir is a signifier of his (lack of) sexual prowess and general hound dog characterization. Spoiler alert: they ain’t moving anywhere.

Performing Proximity: purse on the metro

I document this when I can without drawing attention to the fact that I am taking pictures with my phone. Here, I am on the metro beside a woman with a black and grey leopard print purse.
