In the panoply of mind-fuckingly annoying Americana, the Daisy songs take the sour cream cake. But not for this tot.
This could be proof that there’s some type of subliminal programming in those commercials.

Oh, that’s not a beaver, that’s a wolverine! Her majesty, Betty Deuce, was unamused, as they say, while touring the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa on Wednesday.
She thought one of Phil’s eyebrows got loose.

Pope Benny doesn’t like the raids on priests and high-ranking clergy conducted by Belgian authorities investigating child sex abuse. In a statement, B said he wanted to write to the Bishops there, “at this sad moment,” to express his solidarity “for the surprising and deplorable way in which the searches were conducted.”
Chexy Checked: According to a U.S. Conference of Bishops report, 10,667 people in the US made allegations of child sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002 against 4,392 priests.
Perhaps further investigation should include invitations for tea and scones.

This douchetabulous look was seen on a model at the Comme Des Garcons Hommes Plus fashion show at Paris Fashion Week on Friday. I didn’t think it was possible, but checks can be ruined.
Here’s another look from the show.
That model looks about as happy to be wearing it as you’d be.

The 2,600 seat neo-classical/Italian Baroque style Sheridan Theatre, built in 1927 at 4036 N. Sheridan Road in Chicago, was designed by J.E.O. Pridmore. The auditorium featured a balcony and a mock-tented ceiling ringed by a Roman-style frieze of a procession of gods, a small stage, plus an orchestra pit and organ — and who doesn’t love a big organ?
The Sheridan closed in 1951 and became a synagogue for 15 years, then in the ’70s became a Spanish-language theatre called Teatro El Palacio (as seen above). It burned in the ’80s and was demolished in the early ’90s to make way for this monstrosity, a retirement home.
This is not the same Sheridan Theatre of Edward Hopper’s painting.
That’s the Loew’s Sheridan in NYC, seen below.
Originally the Mark Strand Sheridan, an Austin organ Opus 1007 was installed in 1921 at a cost of $9,400 (that’s $104,635 in 2010 dollars). That’s some organ!
The Loew’s was also torn down (in the early ’70s), and is now a community garden that’s part of St. Vincent’s Hospital.

My imaginary daughter Amy, 6, spent a long weekend with her mother, Carolyn and her boyfriend Fahd, visiting with Carolyn’s relatives in Massachusetts. As you can see by the above photo, Amy returned as a Goth. Yes, I know she’s big for six. I was especially reminded when I insisted on taking temporary custody of her new tee shirt, a gift from her Aunt Crystal.
This unfortunate episode seems to have been prompted by Carolyn’s sister Crystal’s new look, as seen below. I haven’t seen Crystal for over ten years, not quite long enough to create a comfortable distance. Amy tells me, “Aunt Crystal’s apartment looks like those places on ‘Clean House’ on Style Network. Before.”
Now, I’m all for Amy’s sense of self-expression, but my encouragement runs into some paternal hesitancy at fingerless gloves, black nail polish and cringeworthy nose jewelry. I was thankful, at least, that her tattoo was temporary, like her mother’s civility. Amy modified her look with this cheery tee shirt so we could attend her school’s father/imaginary daughter conference.
I drove Amy back to her mother’s, where we found Carolyn outside, waiting, barefooted, for what she said was a “Domino’s delivery.” As you can see by her expression, she was delighted to see me. Nearly as delighted as her second toe was with its ring.
It was a rough flight back for Carolyn. Her boyfriend, Fahd, was bounced off the plane when he didn’t fit in his seat. Amy took this pic with her Hello Kitty iPhone.
This apparently ended with some type of scuffle in which a flight attendant, Geraldo, was not just hurt, but offended.
Amy said, “Geraldo reminded me of you, Ricky. Only cuter. And younger.”

Shiite Muslim men and boys assault themselves with chains and blades in Kabul, Afghanistan during Ashura — a 10-day mourning period for Imam Hussein, who was killed in a battle in Iraq in 680 AD.
Self-flagellation… when you care enough to send the very best.

You know it’s cold in Los Angeles when Khloe Kardashian has sprouted her winter fur… as seen outside of a cupcake place in Beverly Hills.
The makeup also keeps her warm.

People, I’m begging you, please stop wearing patchouli! To put it in the most polite terms possible — it fucking stinks!
This vile substance is made from the patchouli herb of the mint family, originally cultivated in the bowels of Hell. It is made by distillation and fermentation — and I’m sure numerous lives are sacrificed in the process.
Hippies used the oil as perfume in the ’60s and ’70s, no doubt as a fly repellant — for which it’s also used, and you know flies like shit, but won’t go near patchouli. In some Asian countries, they use it as a venomous snakebite antidote — it’ll even kill poison! The Chinese use it to treat nausea, but it never fails to induce mine.
Now they’re adding it to new designer perfumes — because you want to enhance your allure by smelling like bug killer and an old hippie, and by causing asphyxiation, don’t you?
Here’s a handy guide to some of the perfumes containing this horror: J’ai Osé Guy Laroche, Pasha Cartier, Héritage end Habit Rouge Guerlain, Pleasures Estée Lauder, Initiation Molyneux, Eternity Calvin Klein, Miss Dior Christian Dior, Miss Balmain Pierre Balmain, Magie Noir Lancôme, Shalimar and Black Cashmere by Donna Karan.
