Betty Deuce never looked as beautiful as she does here, gliding across a checkerboard floor, as seen today during a service for the Order of the British Empire at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
I’m not fit to touch the hem of her garments, but that kid is.

While the Mormons are busily engaged in posthumously baptizing dead people, including famed Holocaust victim Anne Frank. One man, whose grandparents survived the Holocaust and suffered the indignity of being “converted” by Mormons after death, got even, reports the Daily Kos.
The anonymous humorist thought it only fair to follow this absurdity with another, leading to the creation of the “Convert a Dead Mormon to Gay” web site, the idea of which is as outrageously cuckoo as converting someone’s religion after they’ve quit breathing.
Click the pic of the generator below to visit the site and save your favorite dead Mormon’s soul from an eternity without Madonna, cosmos, and Grindr. Don’t know any dead Mormons? They’ll find one for you, thanks to those handy dead Mormon databases.
Don’t know any dead Mormons who weren’t already gay? Me either.

Screams heard upstairs. Anne Frank baptized by Mormon meshuggenehs. @ Huffington Post
Fun Fact: Mitt Romney was a Mormon missionary in France for 30 months, beginning in July 1966.

When I want cheap candy, I want to be reminded of the crucifixion.
This is a deeply moving confectionery experience.
Put the tablet on your tongue, and be forgiven.

The direct line to the Sacred Heart.
He seems shorter than I imagined.
I just downloaded the Stigmata app.

Her Majesty the Queen, Betty Deuce, looked a little frosty despite her hot pink coat and inverted derby, as seen on a visit to St. Mary’s in Norfolk on Sunday.
Betty wore the Frosted Sunflower Brooch, which we haven’t seen her in since September 2010 when she wore her Creamsicle outfit.
Betty’s brass buttons and black bag bolster the brooch and black gloves. <—(Say that ten times fast.)

Dear Holy Father,
It’s not looking good for you. You’re 84, you’re THE POPE, and you haven’t yet learned what Jesus taught. I expect a little better from someone who had the sense to get the heck out of the Hitler Youth.
Let me make it simple for you, Your Holiness. Gay marriage is not a threat to the family. Snooki is a threat to the family. Kim Kardashian is a threat to the family. Trans fats, high fructose corn syrup and Newt Gingrich are a threat to the family. Faygelehs? Only a threat to bad decor… and not all of them.
Since I have your attention, you might want to talk to your tailor about updating your look. Those glittery robes and pointy hats are so 2nd century.
There are only half a million gay marriages in the US. There are 76 million American Express cardholders. I’d be concerned about that.
When you look at all the things that ail mankind (and I don’t mean Catholicism), the persecution of the legal coupling of people who would like to have privileges that they pay for others to have, and calling it a threat to the familly, seems a bit like saying that dinner mints are a threat to civilization. Okay, maybe the ones with jelly in them.
I’ll try to say it like Jesus did, or better yet, I’ll let Him say it:
I give you a new commandment:
Love one another;
just as I have loved you,
you also must love one another. (John 13:34)
Thanks for staying awake to read this.
Love,
Your Chexy
P.S. LOVE love luuuuuv the red shoes!

in architecture, religion, sorry -- had to
Two new bishops were suddenly overcome by the need for a nap during an Epiphany Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica today.
Pope Benny also caught a few Zs after naming some new cardinals…
… they immediately began dishing on who would be the next Pope…
… and how a dash of white vinegar really brings up a lace undergarment, and how funny Tina Fey’s “Bossypants” is.

Today marks what would have been the 99th birthday of Loretta Young, who began her career in silent films in 1917 at the age of 3, winning an Oscar in 1947 for “Farmer’s Daughter,” and making a highly successful transition to TV with an 8-year run of “The Loretta Young Show.”
Young had a child with the then-married Clark Gable in 1935. She hid the birth and later “adopted” the child, naming her Judy Lewis.
Loretta Young was a lifelong Republican and very active in the church, earning her the nicknames “Attila the Nun” and “Saint Loretta.” She married three times, with one annulment and one divorce.
In 1993, she married 83-year-old fashion designer Jean Louis, who died four years later. (Louis designed the gown Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President,” which sold at auction in 1999 for $1.26 million.)
In 1973, her son Christopher Lewis, then 29, was charged with child molestation and filming and distributing child porn. He plead “no contest” and faced life in prison, but got probation and a $500 fine. Another son, Peter Lewis, was in the rock group Moby Grape.
Her daughter with Gable (below) died late last year.
Loretta Young died of ovarian cancer in 2000.
You can visit her remains at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City. Loretta Young is today’s Friday Face.
