ShamPOW!

Oh man, I'm a little late to the party, but I'm here and WTF? Vince hits prostitute!? Looks like she hit back.

Thanks O. Anger for the hot tip.

I'm Tired Of...

hearing about flight emergencies & bird strikes. I'm so not buying it.

Banking Holiday

Here's a little slice of "So glad I'm not dating" heaven for this Friday's larf. It's a high end, east v. west coast, parody of Hot Chicks with Douchebags. At least I think it's a parody.

I'm lukewarm on the news of Heathers: The Musical going into PRE pre production.

Belated congratulations to Zach Braff this week for hitting the Cheech and Chong old school stylie. I love his "J face". It's as much evidence as the roach in his hand. I used to love NYC for the "smoking permitted" EVERYWHERE. That was cigarettes and it's no longer like that...*sniff*. It was very European in it's smokability!!

And finally, that's some good work you did out there Jon Stewart. Keeping Jim Kramer's foot to the flame was quite admirable. However, that guy is not a financial journalist, he's a made-his-money-years-before-on-the-net commentator that was hired to entertain. Of course he doesn't give a shit about what he tells proles to do with their money. Especially on TELEVISION. It's like no one's there at all. Ethics? Whatever. People who take their financial advice from a TV show are of questionable intelligence & judgement. If you want to get to the bottom of things, call my man Harry Markopolos. But kudos Jon, you're remarkably close and your chewing ass for millions.

Smoking In Hawaii

I love pictures of celebrities smoking. It's better if they're smoking pot, Kristin Stewart, but I'll accept cigarettes. It's enjoyable to me because I know they do crazy things to stay thin, maintain their "image" and remain frozen-in-time good looking, but they have to do it while secretly smoking. That might be the hardest part of the job. I would have posted a pic of Britney Spears smoking but where's the mystique?

North American Handmade Bike Show 2009 + Weekly Round Up

Look!! A bun on the bike!. In these times of economic cock suckery, there will be a mass exodus to the simpler lives, concepts and things that some of us have been enjoying the whole time. Cool photo: James Huang.

Speaking of enjoying the whole time, Bernard Madoff is 70, but it's been a hell of a sweet 70 years for him. I've heard the excuse that he doesn't have that much longer to live, so what are they going to do?... Well, they could put him under house arrest in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan...any majorly economically fucked state, instead of his Manhattan apartment. NOT punishment enough for me. I want to be under house arrest in Manhattan. And if he didn't buy any securities, isn't this just a criminal case? Cut out more of the SEC labor on the case and put them on a more important job & let this asshole hash it out as straight up criminal. And not a white collar criminal either. This is just more proof that people who have little to nothing may finally be the norm and not the exception. America let itself fail by consuming and making the standard that of increased consumption & ownership. Instead of a moderate and sustainable existance for all, it's going to be a dramatically reduced exsistance for so many more. I'll be satisfied when Jim Kramer is sucking dicks for $20 dollar bills, incall only. Seriously. I'm sick of that guy. Rise up fellow careful spenders and we'll cook our favorite dishes for each other, while listening to records on the turntable(that's you, me and Bjork, K)!!

The California Supreme Court has 90 days to rule on the appeal of Prop 8. I don't get it. In this economy, let's get as many people into the wedding industry as possible. Let everyone have an equal right the right to make a mistake by voluntarily entering a nonsensical financial contract. I guarantee it will stimulate the economy. That's the thing about hard times. People start caring less about their moral finger wagging and more about whether people are good folk. And these good folk deserve to have the same right to marry. And the family? Let me tell you, many gays love to have kids just as fanatically, if not more, as any one.


On the side of continuing conspicuous consumption (alliteration anyone?) and living out side your means, let's just look at the newly opened House of Barbie in Shanghai. Six stories of hot pink nonsense. If I were really loaded and in Shanghai, I guess I would go there if it were free to get in. Otherwise, let's just lure Paris Hilton in there and seal that tomb. Win-Win.

Watchmen also opens today, but I have nothing to link to because there's already so much to link to.

Just Cuz

Yay! Carine Roitfeld on CNN

Very exciting. CNN Revealed is going in depth and personal with Carine Roitfeld. The Vogue Paris Editor is chic and practical in her vision. A very European woman. And I mean that in all the best ways.

I'm still mooney eyed about the rumor of Carine replacing Anna. Maybe with the changing of the guard we can get just a LITTLE closer to ELLE UK.
