The 25 Greatest Vulture Slideshows of 2011

The year 2011 saw a lot of exciting stars, trends, face tattoos, Drake sweaters, and cats who look like Ron Swanson. And every time one of these phenomenons emerged, Vulture snapped into action with an educating, illuminating, and amusing slideshow: We suggested tattoos for celebrities (and then helpfully Photoshopped them on), gauged the inherent evil in all of Breaking Bad’s bald heads, provided a guide to Taylor Swift’s arm dancing, and oh so much more. We’ve selected 25 of our favorites from the past year, so click through and enjoy. See you with more slideshows in 2012.
