“It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write"

Ruin Porn

I was talking on the phone w/ Kelsey last week when she informed me that, as a summer RA, she was using Ruin Porn to create door decorations for her residents. Not having heard of ruin porn before, my mind immediately latched onto the word 'porn', and I was uh...pretty scandalized to say the least and fairly concerned about the status of her mental wellbeing in using it to welcome her fellow students. But then, we got together later that day, and Kelsey showed me just what it was. And, I love it. So, here is an article  about it. Also, the guy from the article's website is phenomenal, so I've listed that link below as well. :) Have you guys heard of ruin porn before? Lemme know what you think!!
