I'm a featured photographer on Talentdatabase.com! Woohoo!
Every time I get ready to throw in the towel, a little happy moment like this happens and encourages me not to give up.
So last night while I was watching tv I heard what was, quite possibly, the most bizarre and mysterious slogan EVER for a feminine hygiene product. The ad consisted of the brand name on a black background as a male announcer said: "Vagisil. 100% woman 100% of the time."
What the hell is that supposed to mean and what does is have to do with Vagisil? 100% woman 100% of the time as opposed to 49% woman 13% of the time?
I suspect there were some very upright (and very confused) older men behind this ad campaign.
What do you think?

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts kicked some serious ass (and oh-yes, she did indeed play "do you wanna touch me"...)...

And, much to my delight, Cindy Lauper, whose banter with the audience was hilarious and endearingly A.D.D., played my favorite "When You Were Mine" along with a lovely version of the perennial favorite "Time After Time."
Of course the past week was filled with its share of blech, blurgh, gack and arghs, but I'm keeping it on a positive note today.
I'm going to play show and tell...
Here are some of my current favorites available on Etsy.com

I'll start today's post by requesting that everyone send warm and happy get-well-soon thoughts to my super-sweet cat Mischa (that's him in the photo). He's not feeling so hot right now so any positive energy that could be sent his way would be greatly appreciated...and how could anyone not send good energy to such a cutie-patootie.
Now that the most important issue has been addressed we can move on to much more trivial bits:
Little Known Odd & Completely Random Fact of the Day:

want some more useless information?
well then you're in luck!
things I'm loving right now:
1) my awesome new haircut...LOVE IT!
2) the smell of violets, jasmine and gardenias
3) the anticipation of the new X-Files movie
4) knowing that a tax rebate check means a new camera
things i'm loathing right now:
1) the fact that pharmaceutical companies don't make oral antibiotics for pets in an easy to administer cream/gel form (just try giving a cat pills or liquid antibiotics and you'll understand my supreme irritation).
2) gas prices
3) the anticipation of the new X-Files movie
4) waiting for the tax rebate check

"So you thought you'd come back, my wicked one. Where have you been?"
"In hell," said Titus. "Swigging blood and munching scorpions."
"That must have been great fun, my darling."
"Not so," said Titus, "hell is overrated."

and she's all sewn apart
and she has many colored pins
sticking out of her heart.
She has a beautiful set
of hypno-disk eyes,
the ones that she uses
to hypnotize guys.
She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.

But she knows she has a curse on her,
a curse she cannot win.
For if someone gets
too close to her,
the pins stick farther in.
