intoxicated and impersonator, respectively.
i was watching this vid of james brown with my friend A. and I completely forgot how amazing james b. is. he doesn't even speak normally, just quotes his own songs. I saw him live a few months before he died, and he is just as amazing in real life, for the record. the waist of his pants nearly reached his nipples.
the second vid i found in the related videos bit after watching eddie murphy do an impression of james b. i think it's amazing.

A Gem from Dollar Tree...
Well this is how it goes: I went to my local Dollar Tree store (y'know, one of those places where they post that everything inside costs $1 per item and people still come in and ask "Hey, how much is this thing here?").
But I digress: anyways, I found many interesting things within, all in my price range. Then I happened upon a little display of things called Magic Towels. How they work: They are compressed cotton washcloths that are pressed into various "fun" shapes and, when unwrapped and dropped into warm water, they unfold into their actual size - wet and ready for use.
All of this was well and good. After all, they would make great gifts for people who were really cheap to buy for (from their really cheap friends). The thing is, these were all displayed in a holder which held all the planets of the solar system.
...see where this is heading?
And there, lo and behold, I discovered and immediately grabbed up this beauty:
Yes. Uranus.
Get it? YOUR...uh, sorry - it loses something when you have to explain it in detail.
Besides, you've had enough juvenile grade school locker room education to know where I'm going with this.
After I got this little towelette, I came up with the following childish one-liners:
"Hey, wanna see Uranus expand in warm water?"
"I need to wash up. Anyone seen Uranus?"
"Hey! Let go of Uranus - that's mine!"
"Wanna know how cheap Uranus is?"
"I just washed my face with Uranus."
"It's wash day: better throw Uranus in with the whites."
"I wonder if Uranus is color-fast?"
"Happy birthday, mom! I got you Uranus."
"Don't get shoe polish all over Uranus; it'll never come out."
"Is Uranus usually this small?"
"You should have seen all the rings I found around Uranus."
"I really had to dig around to find Uranus."
"I can start to see right through Uranus; better get a new one."
"Where did they ever get the idea to compress and shrink-wrap Uranus?"
"Never expected to find Uranus on the counter next to the Mallo-Mars."
"Here: I pressed Uranus for you."
"Don't stick Uranus in the sock drawer - put it on the towel shelf where it belongs."
"I just had to get Uranus after I saw Dad's in the bathroom."
"If you don't like Uranus, just hang onto the receipt and you can get a new one."
"There's nothing like having Uranus freshly-washed."
"After my brother bought Uranus, he just had to get five more."
"Does Uranus smell funny to you?"
"It takes a lot of people to work on Uranus."
...and to wrap things up:
"Do you think Uranus will shrink once it dries out?"
Ahh...I feel like I'm in high school again. Good times.
Until next time, Uranus in...Dope out.

The JULY soundtrack!
Χτες γύρισα από Αμοργό και ακόμα βρίσκομαι εκεί νοερά. Φοβερές παραλίες, άγρια τοπία, ομορφιά και φύση, γλυκύτατοι άνθρωποι. Τα "είδα" όλα σ'αυτό το νησί: αγριοκάτσικα να ξεφυτρώνουν από παντού σαν τα μανιτάρια:-), γεράκια, πέρδικες, κότες και κοκόρια πάνω στις στέγες να κοιτάνε μαζί μας το ηλιοβασίλεμα στο χωριό Ποταμός:-), κρυστάλλινα νερά, το ακατοίκητο νησάκι Νικούρια που είναι λες και βρίσκεσαι σε ξεχασμένο παράδεισο, κοχύλια αμέτρητα που μάζευα, αστερίες, σπηλιές ξεχασμένες από τον Θεό, ένα πλοίο που είχε ναυαγήσει χρόνια πριν σε μια απόμερη παραλία, το μοναστήρι της Παναγίας της Χοζοβιώτισσας να είναι χτισμένο κυριολεκτικά μέσα σε βράχους, μια μικρή άσπρη χήνα που μου έκανε ντου καθώς έτρωγα κάτι μπισκότα κι άρχισε να παίζει μαζί μου και να μου τσιμπάει τα πόδια:-) Ήταν με μία μόνο λέξη ΜΑΓΙΚΑ! Το μόνο αρνητικό ήταν στο καράβι την πρώτη μέρα που κουνούσε τόσο πολύ που έκανα εμετό συνέχεια σαν ανορεξικό μοντέλο:-) Οι photos που θα δείτε είναι μερικές από τις περίπου 250 που έβγαλα. Καλό μας μήνα guys, έστω και 2 μέρες νωρίτερα, ήμουν τόσο excited που ήθελα να το μοιραστώ μαζί σας!

- ΕΛΕΝΑ ΠΑΠΑΡΙΖΟΥ: Κρίμα που έβγαλε ένα από τα χειρότερα της CD, που ζήτημα να αξίζουν 2 κομμάτια. Ο λόγος για το "Βρίσκω το λόγο να ζω". Την συμπαθώ πολύ την Έλενα αλλά τα 2 τελευταία χρόνια μας σερβίρει "πατάτες".

- MADONNA: Μήπως να χαλαρώσουμε λίγο? ΟΚ, είναι τιμή μας να έρχεται στη χώρα μας το μεγαλύτερο όνομα της μουσικής σκηνής, αλλά μην το χέζουμε κιόλας! Και μόνο με τις εικόνες απο την Πανεπιστημίου που είδα με τόσο κόσμο να περιμένει, με ξενέρωσε τόσο που σταμάτησα καν αν σκέφτομαι να πάω κι εγώ που με έχουν φάει οι φίλοι μου.
- ΘΕΑΤΡΟ ΛΥΚΑΒΗΤΤΟΥ: Για άλλη μια φορά γίναμε ρεζίλι σαν χώρα. Πάει ο James Blunt, τώρα το κόβω να αναβληθεί και η συναυλία του Lenny Kravitz που θα γίνει τελικά στο Terra Vibe. Εδώ δεν γέμισε με την Kylie, θα γεμισει με τον Lenny? Γουστάρω χρόνια τον Lenny Kravitz αλλα Terra Vibe? Ελεος!
***ΓοΥΣτάΡω Που...***
- Έρχεται η αγαπημένη μου SANDRA στην Ελλάδα, στις 23/7 στην Τεχνόπολις στο Γκάζι!
- Έρχεται η MADONNA στην Ελλάδα (παρ'όλη την γκρίνια μου:-)) μπας και φιλοτιμηθούν κι ακολουθήσουν το παράδειγμα της κι άλλοι και μας έρθουν! Celine τ'ακούς???
- Η ελληνίδα MONIKA έβγαλε ένα από τα καλύτερα album της χρονιάς!

I like alice temperley
I was watching nyc's public access show last night and at like 11 pm they had a world fashion show on, aka they highlight 3 designers and show a video of their runway and behind the scenes, and one of them was alice temperley (temperley london). I know she did target last year and her label's been around since 2000, but I don't really remember the clothes. anyways, I really liked what I saw so I looked her shit up, and I really like her designs! not all of them, of course, but they look like something real people can wear and look cute in and not too bougey.
Spring RTW 2008 (I am super in love w/ the first one)
here is a sampling:
