SJP's Old Lady Hands

WTF? Is up with Sarah Jessica Parker's hands?

The guys over at Projectrungay had a close-up and she has the hands of some 80 year old society gal who smokes like a chimney and has Manhattans from 3-6 every day.
Seriously, look at these:
She is only TWO years older then me and I'm sure she is rich enough to slather her hands with some crazy vile lotion made of pearls and virgin kitten tears. Maybe she actually is an 80 year old woman and the lotion works everywhere except on her hands because they are covered with the blood of the thousand kittahs that were sacrificed to maintain her mask of hardened middle age?


BTW I hated the dress front, love the back and her retro Streisand/Gary Oldman as Dracula hair is quite awesome.

Nekid Rahm

I gotta say that the idea of a Nekid!Rham standing in the shower at the Congressional gym yelling at Massa is just covered in awesome sauce.
I so hope it is the truth.



And yeah, Nekid!Rham....

I've been naugthy and need a good talking too.
In the shower.

Just saying.

Stop This Crime

Dear vintage clothing dealers,

Please cease and desist doing business with Courtney Love or one of her minions.
The woman is a crime against vintage.
Exibit A:
Now if I did not know better I'd say that CL had someone rip apart a sweet 30's dress and maybe a 20's or 30's sheer black over dress and then sewed them together to make a special fucktard dress.
Like I have said before, I really, really, really hate the "upcycling" trend because it enables shit like the above to be created.


Jesus people.
Just stop.

And Now We Are 18.

Yesterday I was waiting in line to pay for gas and standing in line behind me was the cutest little 2 year old boy holding a big bag of Cheetos.
He looked just like me kid when he was that age.
When I got in the car I just started bawling because...well, because I'm nuts and Josh was going to be 18 today.

18.

Happy Birthday!

Penis Pants

No. Words.

(Luckily the model got to wear a hat so his kids will never see his face associated with penis pants.)

Ceiling Cat Takes Mai Peeps

This video from, I kid you not, After The Rapture Pet Care*, seriously needs to have LOL captions.

CEILIN CAT IZ CALLIN TEH HUMANZ HOME

BEFORE U GO WER IZ TEH CAN OPENR?

DAWGS WE R NAO UR KAT OVERLORDZ

Yeah, too much time on my hands...

* I have no idea if this is just another sly way to part fundis from their money or sweet and kind or just someone making a spoof website. I actually hope that these folks are for real and really do care about pets that much to worry what will they do in case of the rapture.

The Numbers

It's the NUMBERS folks!
Right there on the ceiling of the cave.
Amazing.


Of course, what does that mean?

Robin Hood Tax

I show you this video not because I think the idea of the Robin Hood Tax is great (which I do, I do think it is a fine idea) but because Bill Nighy is in it and he is brilliant.



For more information on the Robin Hood Tax (sorry it is a UK thing):

Robin Hood Tax, is a tiny tax on bank transactions that could raise hundreds of billions for public services and to tackle poverty and climate change at home and around the world.

RIP

I know that I have, in the past insinuated that Alexander McQueen might have designed some crazy ass clothing like the snake skin on your v-jaja dress

Or the hoof shoes that creep me out

Or the styling in this show that looked like the women are the handmaidens of the Cenobites (I'm actually reading Hellbound Heart at the moment)


BUT truthfully he was an amazing designer and I LOVED his designs and my GOD I am sad to hear that he has passed away. The story is sad and heartbreaking. The loss of his friend Isabella Blow in 2007 and the death of his mother last week seemed to be more then he could live with.
Just. So. Sad.

What Kate Does

What she does is annoy the hell out of me.

Still another great episode from LOST and we are beginning to see patterns.
Kate always runs, Sawyer is always alone, Claire will trust Kate, Etan is always going to stick needles in Claire, Syaid's destiny is to pay for his crimes, there always has to be a crazy lady who lost a kid on the island with bad hair and an uncanny ability to make traps (Oh, and she shot Mack from Sunny in Philly) and Jack is Jack.

Fiorina Courting the Furry Vote in Cali

This maybe one of the most hilarious and batshit insane political ads I have ever seen.

ILL SIT WER I WANTS

*SQUEE* LOST

Tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight

I wish I could have a LOST party, instead I get to sit here and listen to my hubby and son bitch about everything.
shutup shutup shutup shutup shutup shutup shutup shutup

I love this theory on what the island is:
"The Island is the literal manifestation of an old way of looking at the world common to all people — a world full of magic and spirits, angels and daemons. (I chose that daemon spelling intentionally. If you are confused, consult my essay on the matter.) The Island exists for anyone who believes in the concept of the mythical journey — a heroic odyssey, a ritualistic walkabout, a quest for spiritual redemption. The Island used to be much bigger and occupied much more of the world's psychic geography. The Island once may have even been the whole wide world. But skepticism, cynicism, and disbelief has caused it to shrink away from our mind's eye, becoming nothing more than a slender piece of ephemeral real estate."

The idea that the Gods exist is one that runs though the work of Neil Gaiman and other writers. I like it. They exist because people believed in them or created them and once no one thinks about them anymore they have to get jobs or cease to exist.

So that's it, LOST tonight bitches.

EDIT:
Awesome.
Richard=Slave on Black rock?
So Zombie Sayid or Sayid is now sharing a room with Jacob?
Smoke monster Locke scares me.
No fair on Juliet.
And why are Kate and Jack NOT FUCKING DEAD YET?!!?

Because I am such an Obot....

Here is the Q&A Obama did today on YouTube.
Real questions from real Americans answered by the President.

Question and Answers and a Spanking

My favorite part of the British form of government is when the Prime Minister has to come to Parliament and directly answer questions from the opposition.

Well guess what?
Today President Obama went to the House Republicans at their two-day retreat in Baltimore and not only took questions from the lawmakers there, but spanked them around a bit.
(The only thing missing was the hoots and boos that the Brits engage in.)

You can watch here on C-SPAN's website.

Book Giveaway

Back into the pile of books.
This week I'm giving away The Last Queen by C.W. Gortner.
Book is about the life of Juana, the third child of Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand of Spain and sister of Catherine of Aragon (Henry VIII's 1st wife).

Juana was either a woman made crazy by grief and the bull shit she put up with from her father, husband AND son OR a powerful woman who did not do what the men in her life wanted and was painted as mad to take what was rightfully hers.
It is a very compelling, but tragic story and the book is the same.
Even though you know what her fate is you are compelled to read on.

So leave me a note in the comments and I'll pull a name out of the magic hat next week.

That's a lotta look there, scrumptious and I even like those shoes with the peep toes, weird since normally I think runway shoes are ridonkulos and ugly.




Chanel:

I hate the shoes, everything else is lovely...except for the fact that there are "formal" culottes. Fresh take on the Chanel look.

and WTH? is up with the crazy ass hair?

On The Nose

I was just reading a review of I'm Sorry You Feel That Way by Diana Joseph, which I have yet to read, but one of the quotes from the book is this:

I adore you.

What the hell do you want from me now?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

That sums up my life with my husband and son.
On.The.Nose.

Neil

Article in The New Yorker about Neil Gaiman.

"Gaiman’s two most recent novels, “Anansi Boys” (2005) and “The Graveyard Book” (2008)—a retelling of Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book,” set in a graveyard—débuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list in their respective categories, adult and children’s literature. Yet Gaiman remains somewhat marginal. The Times of London recently referred to him as “the most famous writer you’ve never heard of.” The New York Times waited to review “The Graveyard Book” for several months after its publication, by which time it had won the 2009 Newbery Medal, one of the highest honors in children’s fiction, and been on the best-seller list for eighteen weeks. “I have at this point a critic-proof career,” Gaiman said. “The fans already knew about the book.”

Pie

We went to Ed and Kay's restaurant in Benton (AR) last night.
I got the veggie plate (purple hull peas, green beans, creamed potatoes and rice casserole) just so I would have room for pie.

Their lemon pie has about a 6 or 7 inch meringue on it.
So.Damn.Good.

I love lemon meringue pie and my Grandma Fickel made the best, but the one I had last night might just be better.

I think it is time for me to try making one.
Maybe next week.
