A little monologue for your Tuesday. I meant to post this yesterday for alliteration’s sake, but those pesky technical issues got in the way.

Pretty Strange
Actually, I love that dress. I would wear it every damn day.
Also: howcum celebrities get to do this kind of crap to their hair all the time and it never falls out? Are they genetically different? Bred somewhere on an island where the Supremes, the Monkees, and Abba are holed up, pumping out eugenically perfect pop stars? It would explain a lot, when you think about it.
Doctor Who Commits Incest!
It’s true! Beloved Time Lord The Doctor (Mk. 10) (which would make an excellent rapper name, come to think of it; no, really, it would. admit it) is sleeping with his own daughter!
In two different ways!
No, he hasn’t been studying that chicken ad. David Tennant, who plays the tenth incarnation of The Doctor on the BBC series Doctor Who, is bonking the woman who plays Jenny, his daughter on the series.
Jenny. Funny name for a Gallifreyan. Honestly, what were her parents thinking?
Georgia Moffett, the actress who plays Jenny, is the daughter of Peter Davison, who played the hottest Doctor, the fifth incarnation.
Don’t they know? The streams must not cross. Worlds must not collide! The Matrix must not be corrupted. Really, no matter what space-time continuum you’re looking at, this is pretty sick and twisted stuff.
Are we sure they’re not all from West Virginia?
Buzz Lightyear and Buzz Aldrin, together again for the first time
Yep, looks like every able-bodied military person in the US must be overseas, because NASA has apparently turned to imaginary American Buzz Lightyear for their next mission.
Real American and real hero Buzz Aldrin is his mentor.
O, how the mighty have fallen.
There’s a clue to the motivation for this travesty in the YouTube info:
Veteran astronaut Buzz Aldrin mentors Buzz Lightyear, co-star of the Disney-Pixar Toy Story films. Buzz (the toy) is headed to the International Space Station aboard Space Shuttle Discovery to commemorate the opening of “Toy Story Mania!” at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California.
I wonder how many zeros Buzz Aldrin got for his dignity.
RIP YSL

Yves Saint Laurent, one of the greatest forces in fashion history, has died at the age of 71. His career was a testament not only to beauty and to women but also to his tenacity and struggle with disabilities both physical and mental. That he created so much of enduring worth is an eloquent and astonishing legacy, entirely due to his unceasing battle with and sometimes-victory over those challenges, and culture itself has been enriched by his body of work.
Here is some of it: His second collection, from 1962.
I was never a Saint Laurent woman, nor ever will be, but the immaculate, sexy, unattainable, vaguely bondage-inclined goddess is an icon of the Twentieth Century and such women as Catherine Deneuve, Loulou de la Falaise, Gisele Bundchen, and Linda Evangelista owe a large part of their fame to their ability to inspire and collaborate with YSL. Whether he invented the archetype, or whether he simply discovered and dressed it is something for historians to debate. He changed the very possibilities of feminine identity, and he did it always from a perspective of deep respect and love.
The YSL Manifesto. Let his own work stand as his eulogy:
