Hi everybody, and welcome to this Very Special Trash Report! For the uninitiated, the Trash Report is my weekly column where I make jokes about silly things that happen in the news and gossip. I’m going to do that for this print issue, but about ~ART~ which I’m highly qualified to do, in that I was offered the space, and I said yes. Let’s get this art-y started, shall we?
Airports, but Make Them Art
People are losing their damn minds over the new roof at PDX. This is a dramatic vibe shift for an airport that has for years been known for its beloved (but let’s be real, tacky) carpet. I, for one, like that going forward we will have a choice of whether to post our braggy travel selfie with the carpet or the ceiling. Face bloated from a flight? Shoe time. Nailed the eyeliner on your way to devastate an ex? Give us the face. (I’m also glad that we might move away from the foot pics because I’m sad knowing how many of you freaks will walk into an airplane bathroom in open-toed shoes. You’re worth more than that!) Portland International Airport’s glow-up will also serve as a great flex at the haters who think our town is a flaming garbage pile. You want to come out here and talk shit? Good luck doing that under all that architectural majesty.
