Naa! Naa! Dude Looks Like a Lady
An Aerosmith song has been stuck in my head for three days now. No matter where I go or what I do, “Dude Looks Like a Lady” is going through my mind. At the dentist being interrogated about my flossing habits? “Dude Looks Like a Lady!” At a jewelry wholesaler paying $10 million for three…

Author, Author
Brawling, boozing, bragging and child-begetting author Norman Mailer died on Saturday at the age of 84. Strangely, on Friday I’d been musing about the time my now-husband won dinner with Mailer at a charity auction. Mailer was already having health problems then; as I recall, he was using two canes. He looked cute and harmless…

Another Kova & T Latex Leggings Source
Starting Oct. 5, the coveted Kova & T leggings will be available from Sway & Cake. Sway & Cake describes them as having a “latex-like finish,” while Intuition’s site simply calls them “latex.” Hmm. Well, all I really care about is that they’re black and shiny. Can’t get enough latex? Parallel Entity found shiny leggings…
