Only 302 calories, knit 'em yourself from Twizzlers. Dawn Payne, the crafty chick who designed them says: "Knit gently. If you need your L-string to last longer than a few hours before use, you will need to keep the panties moist. This can be accomplished by wrapping the panties in plastic, or for extended storage needs, spraying with a vegetable oil spray and then wrapping. Adjustable to fit most any consenting adult!"

Wearing Jewelery

Wearing Jewelery 03/06/2004 01:54 AM
Something very nice happened in my life that I'd like to share. Almost a month ago Vani and I went to Colorado and got married. We were considering going to Hawaii, but it's not quite the right time of the year to go there -- or so it seemed from the weather reports. We decided going skiing and snowboarding would be more fun, so we looked for cold weather instead. As Vani said, at least then people celebrate when the...

No wonder he was wearing maekup 07/13/2004 05:18 AM

I ran into Justin at a party. He's going back to school to learn how to create videogames. Meanwhile......

attraction gives us the opportunity to pout and preen - to fix up and make ourselves the most of what we are - maybe one aspect, jockeying up the toughness for example, or just smelling nicer than normal. And then if we have a chance to strut a bit and show our stuff, and we don't find the mate-rial attraction we maybe haven't quite admitted we're looking for we have another excuse Refused in my desires, I drive with the windows rolled down, cold San Francisco night leaking in through the Creatures and the heat blasting from my dashboard. I take a turn fast and hold my car under control. I don't want to make the cops think I'm worth pulling off the road. But I do want to claim some stupid sense of power. I imagine myself in the first quiet moment after the crash - so desparate to have speed and eager to keep pushing forward, now in my car where I can make it happen, not like the bar where conversation limited by ambient television and other patrons keeps me from depth charging as I prefer - in my car I can accelerate, and find myself ahead of some cars until I meet cars still faster and maybe take them on. And maybe someday I'll find myself wrapped around a concrete barrier, my hands can't move to turn off the music if the CD hasn't skipped that song might become even more poignant as I feel blood leaking out around my legs and my hair plastered to my face in front of my eyes unable to move maybe paralyzed or just pinned down by my machinery distorted by stupidity, driving hunger All for the sake of some drama, I would feel dumb afterwards. But still I seek the night. You have to get up early to drive, don't you? She mentioned after our two drinks had each been drained. Hard to push the dawn and hold all the other life aspects in constellation. I'll put it another way. I have no home, my active belongings are mostly in my car. Some wanderers find affection on the road. I've been working to minimize my impact as a guest, working overtime to land again in my own situation, to have a home I can control for human commerce. Not like a bluesman I remembered who would stay with friends and sleep with them too. That might be easier for meeting some of my needs - Most of my physical affection in the last week has come from a 15 month old, I told her. All the sense memories came flooding back then, peering up at the jackalope sculpture on the wall of this watering hole. Cradling her diapered bum in my arm as she pointed up the street into Chinatown. Hoisting her above my head cackling as I tried to keep her from crying. Clasping her wriggling body against my chest as she screamed for her departing mother. These are my recent intimate human moments. Some people seem attracted to me but I don't feel I could take responsibility for them as I feel I should after anything involving fertile fluids. So I tend not to get too physical with those folks. I told her that too. Why are we talking about this? she laughed defensively, though still continuing the topic of living single. I slouched lower and lower in our vinyl bench. I had a giant pimple that had grown on my upper lip. A friend counseled me to pop it. I didn't, I wouldn't. Well, he laughed, that will be a sort of test. She didn't even notice it, she said. I switched barstools to give her the zit-free side of my face. There wasn't much leaning forward into the unlimited night, into the ice water in her eyes or mine. It was steady conversation, shared life phases, experiences in common and questioning motivation. I wondered if we had divergent ethics. I was looking for a reason that I didn't want to manifest all my desire in her in that moment. Or maybe that I couldn't. I tried to be honest. But I didn't have any goal. As our wandering conversation with little context drew to a close I still wanted something. Sex might have been nice - something taught in my pants under her hand hot flesh against my neck sigh and hand in her hair pulling her towards something eagerly unanticipated. But instead, I had myself, driving too fast towards no home and someone else's sleeping baby.

Okay, things have been way too friggin' crazy lately. It's time to take off my trousers and celebrate a long-overdue, pointless, pantless day. Yes, No Pants Friday is in full effect. If you don't join me, I'm sending Sprocket to your house to hump your leg. Should I go as far as to prove it to the world? Well, so as not to drive traffic away immediately, check out my iSight by clicking the regular cam thumbnail over there in the sidebar.

DOG Still Wearing Thumps

DOG Still Wearing Thumps 06/17/2005 06:14 PM

I thought this was a one-off, but it appears that DOG is still wearing the Thumps. He was sporting the sassy eye-wear on "The Tonight Show," which isn't a bad venue, I suppose. My question is this: Is DOG listening to them all the time? Could he be listening to the "Cops" theme over and over? Maybe Mandy? Does he have a constant, pounding soundtrack to his manifold adventures?

God, I really hope this is a trend. Not the part where O'Rite Technologies' Webcam 352 looks like Kenny from South Park - I couldn't care less about that - but the fact that the defining feature of the webcam is that it comes with little outfits to dress it up. Specifically, as reviewed by I4U, a little Mexican get-up complete with sombrero.

This is it, folks. We have seen the future, and it is tiny sombreros for consumer electronics. I could not be more proud of the electronics industry than I am today. I am seriously misting a little here.

Wearing the skin of the unthinkable

Wearing the skin of the unthinkable 09/20/2004 12:55 AM
"Black Like me" : the notion of "Race" is know known to be scientifically meaningless, but now roll back the clock to 1959 : "...John Howard Griffin (1920-1980) was a true Renaissance man. Having fought in the French Resistance and been a solo observer on an island in the South Pacific during World War II, he became a critically-acclaimed novelist and essayist, a remarkable photographer and musicologist, and a dynamic lecturer and teacher. On October 28, 1959, after a decade of blindness and a remarkable and inexplicable recovery, John Howard Griffin dyed himself black and began an odyssey of discovery through the segregated American South. The result was Black Like Me, arguably the single most important documentation of 20th century American racism ever written....Because of Black Like Me, Griffin was personally vilified, hanged in effigy in his hometown, and threatened with death for the rest of his life."

Wiccan teen suspended for wearing
make-up 04/14/2005 10:38 AM
David Pescovitz: Ninth-grader James Hendon was handed a five-day suspension from San Bernardino's Pacific High School apparently for wearing lipstick and eye makeup. He intends to continue wearing the makeup when he goes back to school. From an ABC7.com report that includes a strange "detail photo" slideshow of Hendon's lips, eyes, and mohawk:

Herndon says his black lipstick and red eye makeup express the Wiccan religious beliefs he shares with his mother, a priestess in the neo-pagan faith. He contends the suspension violates his constitutional right to free expression.

[Turner] "The invasion of Iraq was the biggest debacle in the history of the world... except maybe the AOL Time-Warner merger. The AOL Time-Warner merger was bullshit.
[Moderator] You were quoted as saying that signing was as good as having sex for the first time.
[Turner] I was just being a team player. It wasn't really. It was the stupidest move I've ever seen. Almost as stupid as the war on Iraq... Gerald Levine was like Rasputin. He was my enemy. But he said he was my best friend. I said to him, "Gerald, I've never been to your home." But I was a team player. I always pulled for the team. We split the money with Jim Baker 50/50. We used to open the envelopes together as they came in because we didn't trust each other."
[Moderator] Can you start a new empire from now?
[Moderator] No. I'm too old/tired. I'm doing bison... they are the original American cattle.

Girl Kicked Out Of Prom For Wearing

Girl Kicked Out Of Prom For Wearing
Confederate Flag Sues 12/22/2004 01:57 AM
G irl Kicked Out Of Prom For Wearing Confederate Flag Sues A girl who says it was always her dream to wear a confederate-themed dress to her prom arrived in a self-designed gown which incorporated the Confederate battle flag into its design. The school promptly removed her, and she is suing. The fate of her suit is somewhat uncertain. Lower federal courts have applied the Tinker test, which says that a school may restrict student expression when that expression may be disruptive. To win her suit, the girl will need to show that wearing a Confederate flag to your high school prom is not a disruptive act.

Wearing John Malkovich: actor launches
men's clothing line 03/31/2005 05:48 PM
Xeni Jardin: Snip from Theater News item:

John Malkovich, the renowned stage and screen actor, is also the designer of the Uncle Kimono clothing line -- and he will showcase his autumn/winter 2005-2006 men's wear collection at a trunk sale to be held at The Performing Garage (33 Wooster Street) in SoHo on Saturday, April 16, from 10am to 5pm. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit The Wooster Group.

(...) According to Malkovich, "Uncle Kimono is a men's wear collection that resonates with the late 1950s Californian beach boys, some Palm Springs Rat Pack, a touch of lounge lizard, and a recollection of a Swiss banker who's been let go."

A few months ago I was out having sushi with some pals in West Hollywood, and a very dapper Mr. Malkovich sat down at an adjacent table with friends. He was dressed in an extremely funky-fresh outfit, so this news comes as no surprise. He is one stylin' guy. Link to news report, and here is John Malkovich's website. Site also includes some pretty cool t-shirts, like the one shown above, but yow -- they're $70 a pop. (via blogging.la)
