20 Useless Feminine Products

19. Pubic Hair Dye
Are ladies self-conscious enough to worry that dudes will notice that the carpet doesn’t match the drapes? Yeah, probably. (Thanks American media.) Well, ladies, if a dude is down there and is commenting about the color of your pubic roots, rest assured, he’s mostly just disappointed that you don’t have a penis.

Just so strange....

Jason de Caires creates underwater sculptures. Instead of trying to create unchanging and lasting works, he encourages the organic growth of coral and other organisms across his creations. He's working on a new project in Mexico at the moment, but we caught him on dry land for a few questions.

5 Creepy Beach Sculptures from Around the World

A beach in Liverpool is home to dozens of stationary, zombie-like statues, all facing out to sea in various locations. To say it's a creepy scene is an understatement and one has to wonder just how many sunbathers have been forced to leave for another beach after being given the chills by these sculptures.

Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale (Big Edie) and Edith Bouvier Beale (Little Edie)

Read the Wiki articles on these two eccentric recluses who were aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill.

While over at Aloha Nico I noticed that she posted about the movie Grey Gardens starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange(?)...whatever.
It sent me looking for the original Grey Gardens documentary about these two Blanche DuBois-like women living in a falling down house in the Hamptons.

I couldn't find part one....but, here it starts with part 2:



Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Part 8
Part 9
Part 10
Part 11

The house has since been restored. Big Edie dying of a pneumonia in 1977, and Little Edie found dead in her apartment in 2002. She had been dead about five days from a presumed heart attack.

What really stood out for me was how they both continued to show their breeding in the way that they spoke, and Little Edie dressing up "10 times a day" in different outfits from her modeling days...all while the house was falling down around their ears.
Bizarre in the way that European films can be...but, this was real.

New trends in false lashes -
The "Who Needs to See Anyway?" Edition



Taking high maintenance to the next level.

Forty-year-old David Pollard and 28-year-old Amy Taylor, married both in real life and in the online game "Second Life," have split after Taylor caught Pollard's avatar cozying up to an attractive female avatar on a virtual couch. "I caught him cuddling a woman on a sofa in the game -- it looked real affectionate," she said.

The U.K. couple's passion for living through their "Second Life" alteregos "Dave Barmy" and "Laura Skye" had led to temptation before. In 2007, Pollard was caught red-handed having sex with a pixelated prostitute in the game, leading Taylor to hire a private investigator to look into his virtual infidelities.

Why do I find that so hilarious?

I love me some Grace Jones.

I do.

She's strange, and androgenous, and she can pull off some getups that no one else possibly could. She's a living, walking and talking Benetton ad.

That's why I laughed when I read that she had a Diva meltdown when someone stepped on her trailing fur coat at a Bond event recently.

Ohhh, Grace...take on PETA.
I'd pay cash money to see her go off on someone who dared to throw red paint on her Chinchilla.

Some Jones goodness;

Grace with Pavarotti

Baboon Gangs Terrorize South African Cape

A criminal gang being blamed for countless burglaries, thefts and vandalism in South Africa is made up entirely of baboons.

Residents of Cape Peninsula said the gang is at least 350 baboons strong.

The reason there's so many is that they are the country's last colony of coastal baboons and are a protected species.

The Strange Life of H.H. Holmes

"While Jack the Ripper haunted England, H.H. Holmes prowled America luring unsuspecting guests to his castle. Unlike his English counterpart, however, Holmes' murderous rampage went on for years claiming a countless number of murdered men, women and children. Unable to accurately describe him at the time, newspapers labeled him an archfiend and a devil, but the deadly Dr. Holmes can only be depicted as a killer-a serial killer. America's first."

A Japanese restaurant has taken an unusual approach to employing waiters - they have two trained monkeys who wait on their clientele.



I love the monkies...but, I don't want them touching my food

JAMES MOODY, a 31-year-old who drowned to death in a New Orleans swimming pool in 1985. Although not a lifeguard himself, Moody was at a party attended by at least one hundred lifeguards. The party was being thrown in celebration of the previous year’s record of zero drownings at local swimming pools. Still, those hundred-plus lifeguards were ALL apparently too fucked-up to realize that Moody had sunk like a sad little stone to the pool’s bottom.

You can buy anti-depressants for your dog.

The ad I heard on the radio this morning talked about daytime and night time dosages.
"To help with anxiety and stress related behaviours like; excessive barking, chewing, and scratching".

Whatever it is, it's laced with Viagra, and drawn fresh from an orgy in the forest.

It's all fun and games until someone gets murdered....

"...a 45-year-old former marine with a reddish mustache, bulging gut, and disappearing hair — and decided to become someone else. That person, he wrote on Dynabrade stationery that he stored in his toolbox at work, would be an 18-year-old marine named Tommy. He would be a black belt in karate, with bullet scars on his left shoulder and right leg, thick red hair, and impressive dimensions (6'2", 190 pounds, and a "9" dick"). Emboldened by his new identity, Montgomery logged onto Pogo in the spring of 2005 and met TalHotBlondbig50 — a 17-year-old from West Virginia, whose name, he later learned, was Jessica."

as it turned out....

"Back in Buffalo, Kenyon couldn't believe that the Jessi he'd talked to was really her mother. "She was very convincing," he said. "She sounded like an 18-year-old girl to me." He drove to West Virginia to see the truth himself — that the lithe 18-year-old blonde of Barrett's and Montgomery's fantasies was a plump 45-year-old married mother of two with short brown hair."

Only to be found out after Montgomery murdered Barrett.
I don't get this at all.
People are insane.
