Lovin' Esthero right now...



Thanks to Juan-ho for always bringing me the shit.

Winnebago Man



(NSFW)

It's at Hot Docs

Thursday May 7th at The Cumberland.

and

Saturday May 9th at The Bloor.

I'll be at one of them.
My good friends' son is the Editor...I've never met Malcolm, but I may get the chance in the next week or so.

Lianie Towell began her day by slipping into her wedding dress and strapping a door to her back. An artist who has devoted her life to Guinean dance, Towell made a very public display of the burden she bears as the victim of immigration and marriage fraud.

See the coverage of Lainie's walk to Parliament in her wedding gown here.

You know, we can all say that it could never happen to us, but I've met more smart women who have been duped by skilled sociopathic liars than I care to mention.

No one has lived up to Jackie, IMHO.

Apparently, women faint all the time during Obama's speeches.

I'm not sure what Robert Deluce did to Mayor Miller (except make him look like the jackass that he is..) but, a lot of people have a real hate on for him, and Porter Airlines.

All this crying about Toronto not being a "world class" city, and then all these Councillors bitching about what a bad idea it is to make it easier to get in and out of Toronto for business with a downtown airport...ok, they're not bitching about that, they're bitching about government money helping Porter out.

Yeah, well...I'd have to say that Mayor Miller was the one who really helped Porter out by backpedaling on a deal, and costing us taxpayers an "unspecified amount" to settle the lawsuit Deluce brought against the City.

He asked $505,000,000...let's all do the math on that, since Deluce did settle..it couldn't have been that much less than what he asked. Especially since it's "unspecified" to the public.

Imagine a new terminal where business people don't have to travel 35km by cab to Malton to take a flight in or out of Toronto...and then perhaps travel back over that turf by plane to get to New York or any other city on the Eastern seaboard...oh, and those 400 new jobs that the new terminal might bring.

OMG...somebody stop this horrible man from making it easier to do business in Toronto!

DON'T PANIC BUT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE


PEOPLE across the world were last night urged not to panic as experts warned that most of you would be dead by the end of this sentence.
As swine flu swept across the globe governments sought to calm fears by ordering 400 million coffins, while media organisations offered a reward to any scientist prepared to use the word 'holocaust'.


I love The Daily Mash

Going my way?

Strange Food Art

Neatorama did a post called "Five Familiar Actresses in a Different Light"

Showing some older, working actresses and what they looked like when they were younger.

They were missing two of my favourites, and they still look great today:

Helen Mirren



Dame Judi Dench

Last week I read in the morning paper about a street here where 60 out of 66 homes were vacant or abandoned on a single block. The reporter called it a "ghost street." Yesterday I found myself in the area. Other than an errant sofa, the street was completely empty, almost peaceful. I took a photo of every house on the north side of one block and then stitched them together. If you were to compare the current international housing crisis to a black hole sucking the equity out of our homes, this one-way street near the northern border of Detroit might just be the singularity: the point where the density of the problem defies anyone's ability to comprehend it. These homes started emptying in 2006.

It's pretty sad, and a little spooky too.

Found at English Russia:

Meet the "Russian Prince": “My kingdom is growing, but there is no decent Cinderella (without bad habbits) to be turned into princess by me. That should be a girl 16-20 y.o.”. The news about the prince spread fast across Russian blogs and now it goes to to the west. So Russian Prince, anyone?


Click on the image... and then shield your eyes...The "Russian Prince" has depleted Russian society of gold paint, as well as taken every bear out of the woods and is wearing every single one on his back.
