Little Edie meets Madonna

and, I think, comes out the winner. The woman may be batshit insane, but she does look both fabulous and happy. This is what Edgar Alan Poe wanted to grow up to marry or become, I think.

Wrenched from the delicate grasp of the Manolo, who got it from Gala. At some point, Perez Hilton was involved, and that always ups the drama factor.

“This is the best thing to wear for the day, you understand, because I don’t like women in skirts, & the best thing is to wear pantyhose or some pants under a short skirt I think, then you have the pants under the skirt, & then you pull the stockings up over the pants underneath the skirt, & you can always take off the skirt & use it as a cape, so I think this is the best costume for the day. …I have to think these things up, you know? …Mother wanted me to come out in a kimono so we had quite a fight.” — Little Edie

the Bayeux Tapestry does YouTube

SO way classier than Debbie doing Dallas. But these guys didn’t take their boots off in the climactic scene either.

Dirty toenails: from porn stars to Norman invaders, an eternal shame.

This is actually a very clever animation of the historic and dignified (far too dignified for the likes of us, actually) Bayeux Tapestry (although not so historic as to not be up to date with, like, totally its own website if not a Flickr account), which documents the Norman Invasion in 1066, one of the few dates I remember from history (hell, I think my last date was in 1067) and my historic in and of itself attempt to get all the way through Will and Ariel Durant‘s entire output. I think they’re JK Rowling‘s ghostwriters nowadays, actually, at least it looks that way from the word count.

If I ran the internet…

well, if this guy did. His name is Rives, and he’s a spoken word artist, and he’s speaking to TED. Well, he’s speaking to you, and me, and momo, and that spammer in Nigeria, and that hacker in Turkey, and that troll in the comments section. Here is what the world would be like if Rives ran the internet. Improvement or devolution? WWAlGoreD?

Knitting for psychos

Posted on by

These are so inspiring I may just take up needles again. After all, they’re long, pointy, dangerous items that you can take virtually anywhere; just the kind of thing I normally carry anyway. Timethief passed along the Knitting for Psychos page, which makes me wonder how she spends her leisure hours…is she the twisted genius that made the conjoined twins teddy bear(s)?
