I read a few things about this before putting it on and feared a kind of similar experience to The Cheerleaders re: whether I would even end up reviewing it or not, lol. Let’s not delay the obvious here: this is one genuinely filthy movie. How it’s filthy, however – that really nee...

The subject of yesterdays post has been bothering me; not next-door’s hair, I’m not in the slightest bit upset about people’s hair. What it did get me thinking was how much the music industry has changed in the last thirty years and now that I’m on the point of finishing I wondered how I wou...

No? *waiting* Well, you're either finished laughing, or you're unconscious from lack of oxygen. Either way, here we go: Honestly, at the time, this was my most favoritest cl...

I've always wondered what the hell I was thinking, during this picture, putting my arm out like a chicken wing. It's kind of an aggressive posture, like I'm about to give Matt Lauer the 411 about Scientology. The photographer probably was afraid I was going to bite him with my Chiclet teeth. It had ...

Joan Harvest , one of my blog friends, gave me a great set of interview questions that she wanted answered.  1. You have done an amazing job with your reviews of certain TV shows. Have you ever thought of doing this for a living? I would love to actually get paid for writing!  I wanna be the next...

These are duct tape wallets made to look like Sesame Street characters. As you can see, there's Burt, Ernie, the Count, the homoerotic ticklish one, that crazy cooking eating bitch, and the angry bastard that lives in a homeless dome. Each have a character on the front, with 6 slots for your cards (...
