Pic-centric (2)


 This is a still of Lady Deathstrike on the old X-Men cartoon. I just love the way she's smiling at her new giant claws the way anybody else would smile at a puppy.






I've been watching old episodes of 3rd Rock From the Sun, and it's really good, which is surprising for old sitcoms! Have you SEEN Friends recently?! What's that? You were too cool for Friends when it aired? I certainly wasn't. And for some reason I thought it was good. So far as I can tell Seinfeld and 3rd Rock From the Sun are some of the only "laugh track" sitcoms that will stand the test of time (not counting animated shows, obviously!). The actors are all great, John Lithgow, Kristen Johnston and Jane Curtin are all so energetic and have such great nuances to their characters. And as aliens they develop such an interesting take on humans that is nihlistic, innocent, truthful and positive. At the end of the first episode they are supposed to return home but decide to stay because they find humans so interesting. They retain that interest, finding the emotional bonds we create and the social constructs we develop in order to make connections to the world so unique. It's nice to see something you remember being so good actually BE that good. Anyway, above is a surprise cameo I came across in an episode with Phil Hartman as a very flamboyant mall cosmetic salesman! Fun fact, he also showed up later in the series as Harry's (French Stewart, above with Hartman) girlfriend's (Vicki Doubeck, played by Jan Hooks) psycho ex-boyfriend who abducts Harry!!



"Violent Revenge Dramas"!?! I just love some of the categories on Netflix!
... But I hate the new interface!



 Amazon, I am deeply offended by this random suggestion of Glee! I have no reason why they would think I wanted that! The only thing I can think of is because I bought the "Dollhouse" DVD's on Amazon, and that show is also on Fox.... But a completely different type of show! Bad form Amazon.




I have a lot of free time at work, and yes, sometimes... maybe even often, I read celebrity gossip. My favorite is Perez Hilton, and on his blog there's a feature in which a little "Shop" button appears in his celebrity photos and it shows you what the celeb is wearing and where you can buy it. Below are pictures of the wreckage from Ryan Dunn's recent and fatal accident (they're not gory, you only see the destroyed car). Normally I wouldn't post pictures of something so genuinely tragic, but on Perez Hilton, the photos include the "Shop" button and I can't figure out why cuz those cops are not couture! Tasteless Perez! I've also noticed more and more grammatical errors on his website. Perez, just cuz you're famous doesn't mean you shouldn't edit!








 This is a still from the TV show "The Hunger". Not a great show, but I thought this picture looked sweet!







 Okay, I know it's awful, but I've been watching "Toddlers and Tiaras" and I'm sort of addicted to it! It's so weird! ...And hilarious! These are pictures of a self-proclaimed "Pageant Dad"! He makes all of his TINY daughter's clothes (she is pictured above, the one he's wagging the feathery whip thing at), and he's pretty flaming, though married... Hm.... That's his hot wife giving him a "Quit lying to me" face as she bestows upon his receding hairline an honorary tiara. Does that make him a princess?

Yes, that is him with a hat that says "Pageant Dad" in hot pink. 




RuPaul's Drag Race has come to an end and I don't know how I'm going to get through the next 8 months until the next season! I guess it's good it's not on for more than 3 months at a time because it would consume my life. Anyway, during the summer they air "RuPaul's Drag U" which isn't as good, but I'm a total Drag Queen junkie so I watch it. And it's fun because all of the queens on it are now way more famous than when they were on Drag Race, so they have all these super crazy outfits!
Here is Ongina with some kind of feather-y viper fish-esque thing with a wire that protrudes from the feathers in her head and dangles a pink fluff in front of her!

AND OMG LOOK AT MANILA! I love this crazy outfit, like an 8 year old girl pickd out her hair accessories with some kind of double eye illusion for makeup! Plus a total man-face right here!
