New issues arrive. Regular customers flood in for their four-colour fix. This particular Wednesday — the last one in January — was also the next-to-last one ever for Dragon Lady Comics. After 33 years, the venerable College Street shop is closing its doors. Manager Joe Kilmartin broke the news on his Facebook page earlier in the month and from there, word spread faster than a speeding bullet.<br/><br/>“It’s been a lot like a funeral. Everyone’s coming by to pay their respects,” says Kilmartin, explaining that the $5,200 monthly rent, despite concessions from a co-operative landlord, was too much for the shop to bear. “People who haven’t been here in 12 years or 15 years are dropping in to see the store one last time.” (Photos: Tyler Anderson/National Post)</p> </blockquote>http://www.hayles.me/post/17161576463http://www.hayles.me/post/17161576463Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:40:04 -0500toronto<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyvo7jZHNi1qzrchyo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://anddouglassays.tumblr.com/post/17035888514/from-two-experiments-by-vlf">anddouglassays</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>From “Two Experiments” by VLF</p> </blockquote>http://www.hayles.me/post/17038095961http://www.hayles.me/post/17038095961Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:34:52 -0500beauty<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxd9ixPGDq1qz6k9qo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://carlosbela.tumblr.com/post/17033345206/wu-tang-flan">carlosbela</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Wu-Tang Flan</p> </blockquote>http://www.hayles.me/post/17038045931http://www.hayles.me/post/17038045931Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:33:55 -0500haha<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lytznfHGBk1qao4iso1_100.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terry-fan1#!/photos/141780/3">Historical Sci-Fi Gentlemen</a></p>http://www.hayles.me/post/16984198004http://www.hayles.me/post/16984198004Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:04:27 -0500hahamenswear<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyt6b5AXe01qcdg4no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.hayles.me/post/16971225845http://www.hayles.me/post/16971225845Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:47:54 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lys2icrXfk1qghsqpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://dadsaretheoriginalhipster.tumblr.com/post/16934420779/hey-hipsters-prepare-to-spit-out-your-fair-trade">dadsaretheoriginalhipster</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Hey hipsters prepare to spit out your fair-trade, organic roast coffee all over your Macbook because you’re about to get photo-slapped in the dome-piece with truth.

The habit of the photographer involuntarily framing and composing the world has become a metaphor for those trained to document using social media. The explosion of ubiquitous self-documentation possibilities, and the audience for our documents that social media promises, has positioned us to live life in the present with the constant awareness of how it will be perceived as having already happened. </span><strong>We come to see what we do as always a potential document, imploding the present with the past, and ultimately making us nostalgic for the here and now.”</strong></p> </blockquote>http://www.hayles.me/post/16932963136http://www.hayles.me/post/16932963136Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:32:20 -0500web 2.0<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyosrt8Wwx1qz9sx7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.hayles.me/post/16932732109http://www.hayles.me/post/16932732109Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:27:41 -0500menswear<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyr8ddBuZk1qb5yh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.hayles.me/post/16932696098http://www.hayles.me/post/16932696098Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:26:57 -0500menswear<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyirkva7bL1qcmhbxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.hayles.me/post/16909092132http://www.hayles.me/post/16909092132Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:37:34 -0500interiors<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxmbpmblZ31r64bsjo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://emlyy.tumblr.com/post/16890112328/unf">emlyy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Unf.</p> </blockquote> <p>Unf unf.</p>http://www.hayles.me/post/16897652889http://www.hayles.me/post/16897652889Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:09:35 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxj261yzIi1qhhhaco1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://www.hayles.me/post/16897600633http://www.hayles.me/post/16897600633Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:08:46 -0500haha
