Welcome to click click, the sporadic review of what I find worth clicking on the internet.

Photos of the grounds of Versailles, taken between 1907-1920, via Rococo Revisited. On a more contemporary, less poignant note, I’m going to watch this documentary tomorrow.

• Insane Clown Posse: And God created controversy – this 2010 Jon Ronson article is a good backgrounder on the genesis of the juggalo. In November 2011, this unique modern subculture was classified by the FBI as a gang. In August 2012, Insane Clown Posse launched a lawsuit against the FBI. This is only going to get more interesting.
• The Devil’s Toy - irrational fear of youth subculture is nothing new, as this 1966 mockumentary shows.
• Neglect ruins Imelda Marcos’ vast shoe collection – a rotting mountain of designer shoes feels like it should be a metaphor for something.
• Robert Pizzo Advises On the Etiquette of Email Marketing – a really excellent and inspiring post on sending worthwhile direct email. Related - a long post about sending short emails to important people, cogent words to consider before hitting send.
• Adventures in Commissioning – anecdotes from the art department.
• The Cost Of A Logo – when it comes to graphic design, price and worth are wildly disparate concepts.
• Riding the Herd Mentality – this fascinating podcast offers some insights into fashion… heck, into everything.
• Vivian Maier – Her Discovered Work – an incredible street photographer who worked in obscurity, and now her body of work is winning posthumous acclaim.
• On This Day in History – the surprisingly violent significance of September 15th and straw hats. Via Giant Beard.
