Haut or not
Haut or Not
HTMLGIANT hereby institutes Haut or Not, where we rate your bookshelves. This was initiated and corroborated by J. Taylor and B. Bulter, respectively, and inspired by this recent post and the unfortunate yet captivating Hot or Not series.
Just email htmlgiant@gmail.com a picture of your bookshelf (or stack of books w/ spines showing) and one us will either rate it ‘haut’ (haute, formal) or ‘not.’ You may also email individual contributors at their personal addresses if you specifically want them to rate you, acknowledging that our tastes vary drastically.
Here are the parameters:
Subject heading: Haut or not
pics: 500 pixel-wide jpeg, ~200kb.
Disclaimer: we are also free to rate, or make commentary on, all implicated vicinity of the photo. For example, if in the far distance we see an out-of-focus neon thing that resembles a dildo, we will assume it’s a dildo. You may insist it’s a $275 Roche-Bobois lamp, but we will ignore you. So please, be careful. If you are not prepared to be made fun of, this is not the venture for you.

This is the most exciting thing I’ve read in awhile. More book porn.
Can people (read: I) submit multiple shelves, a whole bookcase? Am I going overboard? (Yes.)

Really? The only thing we’d win is an assurance that we’re either cool or uncool in the eyes of HTML. Can’t you throw in some of Sam Pink’s mohawk clippings and/or Blake Butler’s morning-after vomit? I mean I’m desperate for approval, but I’m more so addicted to swag.
Then again, what if you don’t like my books? What would become of me then?

I dunno about this. The only books I ever have on hand are somehow important to me, like they were signed or limited or something. The rest I just give away. What does that say about me?

Reviewing both concepts, while being mostly identical I would say that the New Yorker seems more full of itself while Haut or Not seems perfectly real and what most people do when they see books in a photo. By the way – the N.Y. also seems very staged.
