handy hints: dress like a whore!

Posted on by

hooker bra, also much mousseMaaaan, the things you learn on Livejournal! Here ferinstance, in the highly ripoff-worthy Cindy RedDeer‘s journal, we learn how to put your bra on like a whore.

What we do not learn, alas, is how anyone who pretends to respectability found out how whores put their bras on in the first place. Frankly, most of the ones I know use front-snap bras, because it’s quicker. Also good for a cheap laugh if the guy has never seen one before.

Uh, I read it in Cosmo.

It’s the small things that drive you bonkers. I had this patient once who was very particular about the way her bra was to be applied. Apparently I put mine on like a whore and she would have none of that!

In case you didn’t know whores hook the snaps in front then turn it around then pull the cups up over the breasts then pull the straps up one arm at a time. Ladies, on the other hand place both arms through the straps, but up to the elbows, then they they reach behind and fasten the hooks then they pull the bra the rest of the way up and then pull the straps over the shoulders…

TJ Hooker and friendsSo I guess that means I put mine on like a tranny? I can’t figure this out: what does it mean if you put your arms through the straps but put the straps up to your shoulders, bend over, and tuck everything in place before fastening things? Does it mean I alone have taken lessons from the magazine writer who specifically went to a bra store to find shit like this out? That is what I call pragmatic journalism. Both my tits and my bras are in fine shape, thankyouverymuch, and there is no way of telling how much of it is due to my “gravity assisted” method of getting dressed. All I know is, Madonna better watch her back, particularly since her body fat went into the negative numbers.

One of the commenters over on Pharyngula suggests this imade from Speigel is actually a shot of an octopus bringing home groceries, but I prefer the other commenter’s suggestion that the diver is giving some heavy cephalo-oral. Click to enlarge, if you dare! Taken off the Queen Charlottes in BC.

Hinterland’s Who’s Who: the black bear

To make up for the fact that Crack Spider Dude has disabled embedding, I went in search of a replacement Hinterland’s Who’s Who video for ya, and look what I found: The Black Bear.

Actually, this one looks more like a white bear to me.

Hinterland’s Who’s Who: Spiders on Drugs

This is a blast from the past for Canucks, who probably grew up watching those ridiculous Hinterland’s Who’s Who interludes from the NFB. We may not be good at asserting ourselves, but buy god we know our black footed marmot from our white footed one! Stole this from the House of Hunt.

UPDATE: bitch has gone and disabled embedding. Bloody princess; 300,000 hits in ONE DAY and now he decides he doesn’t want to be famous.

UPDATED UPDATE: he says:

Your wish is my command, raincoaster.
Spiders for all!!!

and has re-enabled embedding, yay! Now he’s less than a thousand hits away from 700,000, at two and a quarter million views, which is undoubtably the highest-ranking Canadian nature video ever to hit the internets.

It’s the “100 centimeters” that slays me. TOO Canadian!

Hector has two mommies. And one daddy

This probably isn’t news to anyone up on LGBT issues, and it really should be a given to everyone but it took so long to get to court: the Ontario Court of Appeals has ruled that a boy whose custodial parents are a lesbian couple, but whose sperm donor father has been playing a significant role in his upbringing, has, in fact, three parents.

*fist in air, yelling right on*

It’s not up to the government or the courts how we as citizens and family members define a family. How painful is the memory of the time I applied for co-op housing, listing my cousin (and roommate) as “family” only to be told, ad nauseum, that we were not actually family at all. The couples said, “Family is, you know, couples.” The marrieds with kid said, “Family is married couples with kids. ” The marrieds without kids said it was married couples. The co-habiting ones said it was couples having sex. Actually, even the menage a trois said it was a circle of adults connected by sexual relationships.

You just can’t win.

But in Ontario, maybe you can.

The case is believed to be the first in Canada in which a child has more than two legal parents, said Peter Jervis, a lawyer for the partner. He said while there have been birth-registry cases in which lesbian couples sought parentage of their children, the fathers in those cases were not active or were unknown due to sperm donations.

In this case, the biological father, a friend of the lesbian couple, remains involved in the 5-year-old boy’s life at the request of the two women. The father would have lost his parental rights if the lesbian partner had been able to adopt the boy under Ontario law.
