AMATEUR FLESH: MARYLEVELING

Chances are you’ve crossed paths with one at some point and the image stuck with you. Black clothes, bold makeup, tall boots, maybe a corset or some lace… an aesthetic that mixes elegance, mystery, and a dark edge that naturally draws attention. I’m talking about goth girls.

The goth style was born in the late 1970s and early 1980s, closely tied to post-punk and darkwave music. Bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, and Siouxsie and the Banshees helped shape a cultural scene that wasn’t just about music, but also about the way people dressed, expressed themselves, and understood aesthetics.
Over time, that style evolved into a full subculture. That’s where many of the traits we associate with a goth girl today come from: the dominance of black clothing, pale makeup with heavily defined eyes, outfits inspired by Victorian, romantic, or dark aesthetics, along with boots, chokers, lace, and corsets.

The goth world is also closely connected to a certain artistic sensibility: a taste for the mysterious, the melancholic, horror literature, dark photography, and gloomy atmospheres.
That’s why, for many people, it’s more than just a fashion trend. It’s a form of aesthetic expression — a way of playing with image, contrast, and that dark aura which, far from feeling depressing, often comes across as surprisingly elegant and attractive.

If we had a “video of the day” section, this one would probably take the spot today.

THE TELEMARKETER

One of the things most of us hate the most are those phone calls where someone tries to sell you something. It doesn’t matter if it’s insurance, switching your phone provider, moving you to another electric company, or any other service that, somehow, always arrives “right now” with a supposedly unbeatable offer.

The problem isn’t just the call itself — it’s the timing. They always seem to catch you working, cooking, driving, or simply trying to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. You see an unknown number, hesitate for a second… and the moment you answer, you already know you’ve walked into it.

Some people have it clear and hang up instantly. Zero guilt. But then there’s the other group: the ones who stay. The ones who, out of politeness, habit, or because they feel bad cutting someone off, remain on the line trying to dodge the conversation however they can. One-word replies, saying they’re not interested, that they already have service, that they’ll look into it later… anything just to escape without sounding rude.

And that’s when the small absurd duel begins: the operator following the script, and you trying to find a way out without making it obvious you’re fleeing. A conversation nobody enjoys, that neither side really wants, yet somehow it always lasts longer than it should.

Next time it happens, think about this post, about these photos, and maybe the conversation suddenly feels a bit more entertaining.

Now I get why they take so long to show up when you call them.

HYDRAULIC PRESS

I’m sure you’ve seen some of those videos circulating on social media where a hydraulic press crushes all kinds of objects. It’s a very simple format, yet incredibly hypnotic: place something under the machine and let the tons of pressure do the rest. Figures made of plasticine, bowling balls, tennis balls, metal pieces, or pretty much anything that can offer a little resistance before finally giving in to the force of the press.

Part of the appeal of those videos lies in the curiosity. Watching how different materials react, how they deform, how they hold on for a few seconds before collapsing. There’s something almost addictive about seeing that exact moment when the pressure wins and the object finally gives up. It’s a mix of expectation, tension, and that small visual satisfaction of watching something transform under a force it simply can’t resist.

Well, today I bring you a variation of that same idea. A version that keeps the concept of putting different objects up against a crushing force, but with an approach that’s quite a bit more entertaining than a standard industrial machine. Because sometimes you don’t need steel structures or tons of pressure to get the same effect… sometimes it’s enough to do it with a little more style, a hint of mischief, and a result that’s definitely a lot more fun to watch.

TIK HOT VOL233

I’m sharing with you edition 233 of the Tik Hot Saga.
At an average of 12 videos per release, that brings us to a total of 2,796 videos. If we subtract about 10% for possible repeats — because one always sneaks in by mistake — we’re left with roughly 2,516 videos in this style.

More than two and a half thousand videos. Not bad, my friend. Not bad at all. At this point it’s starting to look less like a simple compilation and more like a proper archive.

ALL IN ON RED VOL6

The day before yesterday we dedicated a post to the color black. Black lingerie, black clothing, creators who started dressed and ended up taking everything off in front of the camera in short videos, direct and straight to the point. Just another compilation within those series that almost create themselves when we start noticing the same visual pattern repeating again and again.

Yesterday was the exact opposite: white. It wasn’t random. After black, we looked for balance. Compensate. Slow things down. Maintain that kind of necessary harmony that makes everything feel right. Black and white. Contrast. Balance. Universal order restored.

Because when everything leans too far to one side, it starts to feel like something will eventually fail. And you already know how this works: if you don’t balance things out, everything ends up wobbling.
But today… today isn’t about balance.

Today is about red. And red isn’t here to compensate for anything. It’s not trying to restore cosmic forces or keep the universe stable. The universe can manage just fine on its own for a day.
Red arrives purely out of impulse.

Because sometimes you don’t choose something based on logic or editorial consistency. You choose it simply because you feel like it. Because it stands out. Because it raises the pulse and instantly changes the tone of everything appearing on screen. Where black suggested and white balanced, red simply provokes.

So this new installment comes exactly from that idea: creators dressed in red, short clips lasting thirty seconds or maybe a minute at most, fast content, visual and created with no other intention than enjoying the moment.
No deep message. No universal adjustment. No spiritual search.
Just one simple decision: today was a red day. And absolutely nothing happens if, just this once, the balance can wait.
