How to Trick People into thinking you're good-looking

I've watched this video five times. It totally cracks me up.  The best part is...I think she's kidding, but I can't be 100% sure.

I know people who try to look like this.  I....wish I could name names.  Better let the video speak for itself.






Thanks to Adrienne for showing this to me.

Lady Gaga - Telephone

Glory jee to bezus - this is the first Lada Gaga video I've ever seen and...whoa. It was recommended to my by a friend of mine, who may or may not need serious psychiatric help. I'm either going to have to write a 3000 word column on Lady G. or else never think about her again as long as I live.  

P.O.D. - The things we do for Bacon

Searching for a Hippo picture for my Bacon Top Ten list I ran across this. Is it the Awesomest picture in the Universe? I'm inclined to vote yes.

Rumor #3

Health experts are quietly warning of a new menace to women visiting the beach, beyond sharks, sunburn and European men in Speedos: VSD. Vaginal-Silica Disease, or what beach residents call "Sandy Vagina."  Most sand is made of Silica (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2), usually in the form of crushed quartz, which most of us know as sand.  The problem is the chemical reactions of the Silicon Dioxide with the inner lining of the cervix.  Women and Silicone have had a troubled history.  In the late '80s and early '90s there was a scare with Silicone Breast Implants, and Dow Chemical even had to stop making most of their Silicone implants.  

Apparently something very similar is happening again. "Certain women react toxically to Silicon Dioxide, or sand," said Dr. Ramalla of Atlanta's CDC in an interview on Friday. "Sand gets into the vagina, and effectively starts shredding the inner wall."  Doctors in Florida have reported a 49% increase in incidents of Environmental Endometriosis, just one of the possible complications.  More common are reports of increased irritability, moodiness and irrational thoughts, although as one anonymous RN put it, "You put sand up my [vagina], I'm gonna be pissy, too."  It is not known if something in the water is chemically altering the sand, or if the problem stems from the much skimpier bathing suits currently in vogue on Florida's beaches. 

P.O.D. - Sale?

Everything must go....especially those clothes!

Esquire names Kate Beckinsale Sexiest Woman Alive

Esquire Magazine have named Kate Beckinsale the Sexiest Woman Alive.

I'm a fan of Kate's, and have been since way back in the day (MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING). We all know she jumped up a level or six with UNDERWORLD and has been going strong since.

But Sexiest Woman Alive? Not buying it. I personally know a woman way sexier than Kate.

But I will let you decide:

Smartest Woman in the World

What more can be said? She's organized, passionate and has a clear goal in mind. Be proud, ladies. It's nice to have a standard bearer.

She ain't heavy, she's my _______

Got in a discussion w/ a friend the other day about whether someone with this body type is "heavy." I'll readily admit she's not petite, but heavy? You must be kidding me. Since when did curves make someone heavy?

True of False: if everyone in FASHION was put to the sword and we started over...would Women be better or Worse off?







[And so I don't have a suspicious mob, I found the picture on the Internet to illustrate the body type I was talking about. I even hotlinked the girl just to prove it. (Does "hotlinked the girl" sound dirty? No? Just me, then.)]

Male/Female Geography

from my mother......



THE GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN

Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally beautiful!

Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe, well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.

Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece, gently aging but still a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and all conquering past.

Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Israel, has been through war and doesn't make the same mistakes twice, takes care of business.

Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada, self-preserving, but open to meeting new people.

After 70, she becomes Tibet, wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages...only those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge visit there.




THE GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN

Between 1 and 70, a man is like Iran, Ruled by Nuts.

Barbie Turns 50 - Pictures I couldn't use

As I was preparing my Barbie Column (over on the home page), I ran across a couple of pictures I could not use, but I simply HAD to share.


A feminist (like me) could have a Field Day with this one. Speaking of which......




Tell the truth, Ladies. Ever have an experience like this?

Commercial - Offensive or Not?

No way this commercial would ever fly in America, but I don't find it offensive. I find it kinda funny.

What say you: is my Feminist Gauge in need of some fine tuning?

Girl Sells Virginity

You HAD to have heard about this, right?

22 year old girl sells her Virginity to pay for college.







The Article has the tally at 3.7 million dollars. This makes me think that I should do the same thing. I bet I could get at least $20, right?

WHAT DO YOU THINK, MONKEY BARN? SHOULD HYPERION SELL HIS VIRGINITY TO MAKE MONEY?

Marital score!

Found an interesting ditty on Slate today and thought I'd bring it to the Barn. I must say that Mr. LJS is a saint for taking someone who managed to score a negative (!) on this test! What a difference women's lib makes!
