Well hello there. Next month's theme is IMITATION. We're looking for written and visual work that has to do with mimicry, replication, re-enactment, dramatization, novelization, repetition. Not to mention: camouflage, fakes, counterfeits, “authenticity,” “reality.” Send your stuff here, and thanks. ♥

#16 was a still from B.o.B ft. Taylor Swift’s “Both Of Us” music video. It’s an amazing song/video.

I love #26. This has become my favorite part of the end of the month since I found Rookie.
Log in to replyI really likes the “Flower Colours” picture even though that spelling of colors bothers me immensely. I don’t know why.
Also, that Taylor Swift & B.o.B. song is pretty odd, don’t you think? Taylor is all graceful & pretty-sounding then B.o.B. is like RAP RAP RAP RAP RAP. It’s a weird mix.
