Made You Look #1

Sometimes I think that Alicia Keys is the black Natalie Portman.

Then I remember that I don't care.

Ready, Set, Mascot!

Fear not, fellow freedom-lovers and defenders of liberty, consumerism, Twilight, and everything else that is associated with the Western World, these two spacesuit-clad cycloptic tooth things are not purveyors of galactic terrorism or promoters of tooth/eye care. They are Wenlock and Mandeville, the official mascots of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. And they're gosh-darn adorable. And not phallic at all.

Stop tempting me, you cruel wench

Fan Mail #1

This piece of admiration-fueled fanmail comes from Jen C. of White Plains, NY.

Thanks for your interest, Jen C. I'm always happy to connect with my throngs of loyal readers, especially the female ones who send me full-body shots.
