Also, I worship at the altar of David Bowie.

My parents and I moved to a hippie community on the Oregon Coast this summer and it's a freak show. These photos were taken from behind Bennie and Laura’s cabin. I like lying on the forest floor, listening to music and watching the sky through the trees.

Nice to see they have studio strobes in the middle of the Oregonian-outback freak show, to make the natural light seem even more natural. My money's on Elinchrom monolights, Elinchrom usually gets the "natural glow" right without much post-processing.

I'm sorry.... but how is this any different or more special that the thousands of other tumblrs made by artsy teenage girls with a hard-on for Bowie (and don't we all have a hard-on for Mr. Bowie, really)?

What hip television show or movie is this an ARG for?

Hmmm. Any other info on this? Or is this a freakish freak-show blog? I'm always interested in cults and communes, but this one seems to be off the 'Net grid...not to say it is imaginary, but...

It differs in that the girl is a hired actor, the photos display the fruits of hundreds of professional man-hours and every word of her blog is written by a team of hoary old network TV hacks.

Seconded. Look, I loved the Blair Witch Project website too, but at least it was a new idea then.

I have no reason to flag this, but I also have no idea why this is here.

God, I"m trying to place that actor who plays "Dad," but he's one of those "oh, THAT guy" types.

I'm pretty sure it's creative fiction.

I can tell by the pixies, and having seen quite a few plots in my time.

Is it really movie/TV Blue? Because it kinda sounds like a young adult novel.
