To a lot of guys, photographer Terry Richardson has the greatest job in the world. He invites some of the biggest female celebrities of the day to his studio, convinces them to take their clothes off and then takes a series of risqué photos of them all in the name of art and edginess. On the other hand, a lot of people also think that he’s a sexual deviant that disguises perversion as art and edginess. Either way, celebrities love him, and he proved that this month with new shoots from Madonna and Miley Cyrus.
Yesterday, though, Richardson was the subject of my new all-time favorite trending topic on Twitter, #TerryRichardson4Topps, which allows us to imagine what it would be like if Terry Richardson was the photographer for Topps baseball cards. This trending topic beat out #ReplaceMovieTitlesWithVagina and #ReplaceSongWordsWithVagina to earn my top honor. Although, if #ReplaceAnyWordWithVagina should catch on, it would obviously blow this one out of the water. What can I say, I’m an artist.
Anyway, here are some of my favorite Tweets from last night, as picturing these and trying to make them with the awesome Rookies iPad app will haunt my dreams for years to come.
UPDATE: For more on this delightful hashtag, check out The Classical, and more specifically David J. Roth, who inspired it.
