Cindy McCain: Sugar Mommy

Yep, I'm there. If McCain can get Cindy, a beautiful smart woman with money who can do whatever she pleases, to stay married to him he must be doing something right. Behold now the new leftist attack strategy against McCain: He's a man who scored and is successful! You know how the fat boys on the left just hate that. If this is the best George Soros' Finger Puppets can come up with, I think we're going to have a rather amusing general election.

Just one suggestion--they better not keep making commercials that make us admire the guy. Oh, I especially like the foreign accent of the moderator--Everything sounds much more important and serious when all these things are said to us by the British instead of by a pesky, bitter, and mean Amerikkkan (HT Hot Air). And I've decided with this post to put Cindy McCain into the Babe category, just for organizational purposes. It's stupid to just not admit the truth.

UPDATE:

Morrissey at Hot Air makes excellent points about 'progressive feminist' hypocrisy on the issue of Cindy McCain's financial independence.

...A lame Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous parody tweaking John McCain for marrying a rich woman, complete with a very bad Robin Leach accent...

Men who didn’t feel threatened by successful women were supposedly enlightened. Men who allowed women to control their own fortunes were supposedly the most enlightened. Now Democrats want to haul out the chauvunistic taunt of “kept man” and “sugar mommy” against McCain for having been enlightened enough to do both?

Wow. That takes some …. nerve.

PETA Names "Sexiest Vegetarian"

Quick, someone throw her a steak!

Oh, she looks sort of healthy only because she "recently" became a vegetarian.

Neither Hillary Rodham Nor Barack Hussein Has Answers

So I decided to see if I did...to Esquire's Kate Beckinsale Quiz. She's also much more pleasant to look at than any of our 'presidential' Rosemary's Babies Triplets.

Go forth and give answers. Here's a little sample. Or you can just read it for the pictures.

The Great Kate Beckinsale Quiz

You know Kate Beckinsale from films such as Van Helsing and The Aviator, and yet you don't really know her at all. Not by Hollywood's hyperintimate, "so that's what a C-section scar looks like" standards, anyway. The thirty-four-year-old British actress keeps her nose so darn clean -- she hasn't even had the decency to strike a paparazzo with her car -- that it's hard to feel close to her. A beautiful actress known only for her acting ability? What year is this? Ace this quiz and you can feel a little less guilty about ogling the photos above.

7. In a 2004 commercial for Diet Coke, as bikini-clad Kate Beckinsale walks around a pool, her beverage unleashes something on sunbathers that makes them dive in. What is it?

a) Fizz.

b) Tingle.

c) Canned heat.

d) A near lethal dose of aspartame.

See, it's not so easy!

Babe News Anchor Punches Cop

Alycia Lane. Just watch out for the right hook.

Sends cop to hospital. Which may get babe sent to jail. Babe then wishes she watched more "Bad Girls" when she had the chance.

News anchor busted for punching cop

An Emmy-winning news anchor from Philadelphia is in hot water for punching a police officer here in New York, officials said.

Alycia Lane, a Long Island native who co-anchors the nightly news for a local station in the City of Brotherly Love, was arrested for hitting a female police officer in the face early this morning in Manhattan, and charged with assaulting a police officer...

Earlier this year, 35-year-old Lane made headlines when she e-mailed photos of herself clad in a revealing bikini to NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen. The images were discovered by Eisen's wife, but Lane insisted the pictures were only meant as a good-humored joke.

I don't think she'll be going where Martha went. But those pics might get her a few more smokes.

The Tiny Gay Squirrel says: "Wow, two Babe posts in a row. It's good to move past Huckanut rage (for a moment) to things that are really important...like Babes."

UPDATE:

Apparently Alycia used a derogatory phrase against the woman cop that a) could also be used in prison, and b) get her sent to the hospital, just after she becomes everyone's wife. For at least an hour.

Philadelphia News Anchor Alycia Lane Calls Officer 'Dyke', Lands in Jail

Alycia Lane, the evening news anchor on CBS affiliate KYW-TV in Philadelphia, was arrested on early Sunday morning in Manhattan after an altercation with a female police officer, according to the New York Times. Lane and her boyfriend Chris Booker, and another unidentified couple were reportedly traveling in a taxi through Manhattan and became upset over a slow vehicle blocking their way. Philly.com reports Lane confronted the passengers of the slow vehicle, which happened to be a group of police officers in plainclothes. [Oops.]

When one of the officers asked Lane, who was taking photos with her iPhone, to step back, the news anchor reportedly began verbally assaulting the officer. According to Philadelphia Weekly, Lane screamed at the officer, saying "I don't give a f*ck who you are, I am a reporter you f*cking dyke." Lane then punched the female officer in the face, according to the Associated Press, resulting in several lacerations and swelling. The officer was treated at a local hospital and released.

Valerie Plame Puts the Kabosh on Playboy

The Bad Girl in me is sad. The Feminist in me is secretly sad, but publicly approving. Remember, a frown is just a smile upside down. I'll be standing on my head for at least part of the day.

No Playboy for Plame

...But there’s one place Plame won’t get exposed: Playboy magazine.

We found this out Wednesday when Plame stopped by Nathans of Georgetown Thursday to take part in the Q&A Cafe interview series. Host Carol Joynt couldn’t get over the fact that Plame was, well, pretty hot and, since a movie based on her book was in the works, a Playboy spread couldn’t be that far off, right?

“I’m a mother of twins, are you kidding me?” Plame responded.

No, we're not.

Erin Burnett of NBC Apologizes to President Bush

For calling him a monkey on the air. Yeah, and she even says she respects him, which she probably doesn't. Heck, even I don't any more. I used to. I don't hate him, and I don't want anything bad to happen to him, I even care about him, but I don't respect him anymore. (Open borders. Amnesty. Big Government. Spending out of control. Meeting with terrorists in Annapolis. Not killing al-Sadr, bin Laden, Zawahiri, et al. Need I go on?).

And yes, I forgive her, because she's pretty, even bordering on the adorable, and smart. She was even cute pretending about the respect thing. I know it's not reasonable, and I feel guilty about this, but I'll get over it.

New Species Created in Lab

If it ends up looking like Natasha Hentsridge, I'm all for it. If it doesn't, I'm against it. One other suggestion, either way, buy some torches, invest in torch stock, and head for the hills, or your local pub.

One thing's for sure--if you can somehow connect the dots from a story like this to a hot chick, then everything's still okay, but be on the safe side and buy a gun anyway.

Tom and Katie Sleep in Separate Bedrooms...

Breathe Right or separate bedrooms? Apparently a tough call for Tom Cruise.

Because he snores. And Angelina Jolie and I sleep in separate bedrooms because she snores. Or maybe it's because we really don't know each other. Actually, I'd have trouble breathing with Katie in my bed, too, but only at first :)

Katie blames Tom Cruise's snoring for sleeping in separate bedrooms

It's an age old problem, and many a wife has suffered because of it - but not Katie Holmes.

Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes are reported to sleep in separate bedrooms, so she doesn't have to suffer his snoring.

A source told US magazine, Star: "It's a situation that works for both of them"...

"In fact, they even joke about having separate bedrooms to their friends – Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep!"

"Of course they spend time together alone at night like most married couples; after all, they conceived Suri!"

Hey, what's this doing here?!

Your Babe for the Weekend

Speaking of women 40+, let's have one, shall we? Here is Milena Kanakaredes, one of the stars of CSI: NY. While I love the original CSI, I occasionally watch this version of the franchise just so I can get my fix of this woman. Hot. She turned 40 this year.

Grrrowrrrr

UPDATE:

Here's an exchange between Perry and myself in Comments. I think it's worth posting here on the main page because of its relevance to the nature of how women are viewed, and the importance of the intent of the viewer, the issue of political correctness, and frankly, the absurd, misdirected rejection by some gay women of anything viewed as 'of men.'

Having grown up in the 50s and 60s, knowing I was different, but knowing nothing about my being gay, then accepting my lesbianism, I find it hard to take when gay women look at beautiful women with their tongues hanging out as if they were red-neck men.

I think women, straight or gay, look beautiful and sexy in tuxedos and suits and I don't need to behave like a man looking at a hunk of loin to appreciate it.

Posted by: Perry at August 19, 2007 08:01 AM

And my response:

Responding to Perry:

I really appreciate the Comments you've posted here, but I do want to chime in here, as I'm a little confused by your comment. What part of this post, the admiration of a beautiful woman, regardless of her sexuality, equates to "tongues hanging out"? I suppose I used to subscribe to the idea that it was too politically incorrect to appreciate classically attractive women, and to recognize them as such. I grew out of that as I realized my resistance was more about my own confidence, self-esteem and fear issues. For me let's just say that ended quote some time ago.

Being a lesbian, for me, doesn't mean only noticing or admiring women who embrace an androgynous or non-feminine look. I also happen to like all women, whether or not they subscribe to my particular worldview, sexually or otherwise. I would suggest to you that you realize some can appreciate beauty without objectifying the woman who's blessed with it. And men have not been the ones who have decided what is beautiful. There's nothing 'feminist' about ignoring the obvious and the natural. The 'decider' is nature. There is a universal understanding of beauty which I have gone into great detail about on my radio show. As a simple example, I think we would be hard pressed to find any human being, from the Amazon tribes, to the African continent, through Europe or Asia, who would consider Angelina Jolie ugly.

While you and I may be different in what attracts us, I would suggest you might consider that you're projecting a bit of your own concerns about how *you* view women when suggesting that when others admire a woman they're being animal-like and objectifying her. If you have concerns about what drives you, address them, but don't project your issues onto others.

I have found a great freedom in appreciating women in general, expressing that appreciation, as I celebrate women for all of their qualities, *including* the gift of beauty and the embracement of femininity and health. Women like Kanakaredes, or Jolie, or Lena Headey, whom I thoroughly enjoyed in "300" last night, work hard to look their best. The real crime would be to not notice or refuse to appreciate them for the visual gift they give all of us out of some misdirected rejection of what you think *men* like. Sheesh.

So, the word for you at least for the weekend is: R-E-L-A-X. Political Correctness has no place here, which means there's a heck of a lot more honesty and genuine freedom. Have a great Sunday. I just may even post *another* Babe for the Weekend, this time perhaps with Headey as Queen Gorgo. :)

Posted by: Tammy at August 19, 2007 11:53 AM

Oh, and I just checked--it's physically impossible to growl with your tongue hanging out.

Forbes Wonders If Women 40+ Are Sexy Enough

Case in point, according to Forbes, the new "Sex and the City" film which features the women who starred in the series, all of whom are now in their 40s, or in Kim Cattrall's case, early 50s. This fact alone may doom the film. Their theory? There are already so many women 40+ out there in Entertainment Land, the market may be "saturated" condemning the movie to flophood. I kid you not. Apparently, that "saturation" concept doesn't apply to old, white, pasty men 40+ or to every other cultural framework being swamped by 20-something little girls.

Nope, there's only so much room for 40-something women, and you better not have too many. Which, btw, is not a very savvy marketing or programming concept, considering the fact that women now comprise 60% of the consumer base, and we 40-something-plus are the generation in control of society, politics, and the economy. And yes, believe it or not, we don't mind seeing ourselves portrayed, especially as hot and sexy. Which we are. To hear this backward, parochial 1950s concept regurgitated by a young woman (the Forbes talking head) in 2007 is, to say the least, disheartening.

Unfortunately, to watch this little Forbes segment, they subject you to some commercials. But take a look, just to keep an eye on the new spin.

Saturday Babe Open Thread

Emma Thompson

Here's Emma Thompson for your viewing pleasure. Besides obviously being quite beautiful, she is one of our era's most talented writers, actors, and producers. She also happens to be a very funny woman. What a package :)

I have my final presentation at the YAF seminar this morning, and then I head back to Los Angeles for Tammy Radio Saturday. I will also be collecting Sydney and Snoopy whom, I hear, have been very well behaved boarding school guests.

Since I will be alternately at the seminar and then on the road, I offer you here a Babe Open Thread. feel free to post and comment on the issues as you see them. As soon as I get home and settled in, I chime back in. We have a few guests on the show today, including Bea the Kitten Pusher. She's the one from whom I got Snoopy, and she has a few more cuties ready for adoption. I'll have them posted in the Sadie & Sydney page before the show.

Kirsten Price

I'm also scheduled to have singer/songwriter Kirsten Price on the show. Since this is radio, here's her pic so you have a 3-dimensional view of her. You think she looks good? Wait 'til you hear her music. here are a couple of comments from reviewers just to give you a sense:

"Raw, sexy, kick ass...Kirsten Price has the pipes of Janis Joplin and a truly electrifying stage presence"
- Dulci Pitagora, GO NYC Magazine

"..the down ‘n’ dirty and seriously infectious “Magic Tree” from Kirsten Price. This one writhes and slinks and grooves with a hot-breath sensuality, sort of like Fiona Apple frontin’ The Pussycat Dolls."
- Paul V., IN Los Angeles Magazine

In the meantime, go forth, post and have a great Saturday.

UPDATE: Kirsten had to reschedule. She'll be on next Saturday.

Mexicans Boo Miss USA at Pageant

The beautiful Riyo Mori, Japan's new Miss Universe

Oh brother. Yeah, that'll wake us up about how wrong we are about the intentions and attitude of the 20 million-plus illegal Mexicans in our nation. Or, it could simply highlight the contempt Mexicans hold for this country. You see, the more someone allows you to take advantage of them, the less you respect them.

Japan's Mori wins troubled Miss Universe contest

A raven-haired Miss Japan, Riyo Mori, was crowned Miss Universe 2007 on Monday in a contest marked by protests, a banned dress and the withdrawal of one beauty queen on the ground the pageant degrades women.

Mori, 20, the 56th winner of the title, was given her $250,000 diamond-and-pearl crown by last year's winner, Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico, watched by a live audience of 10,000 and some 600 million television viewers worldwide.

A lifelong ballet dancer from a village near Mount Fuji, Mori wore a striking black gown with colored lapels for the final. Winning surpassed the ambition of her grandmother, who told her as a child she wanted her to be Miss Japan one day...

During the evening gown parade, Miss USA, Rachel Smith, slipped on the runway and landed on her bottom, although the slip didn't stop her earning fifth place.

This year's contest was marked by controversy, with a handful of Mexicans booing Smith in the run-up to the finals because of what they saw as U.S. unfriendliness toward illegal immigrants...This was the fourth time the pageant was held in Mexico...

Rachel Smith, our entrant and a Tennessee girl, a state being overrun by the same sort of people who maliciously boo'd this young woman.

Hot Air has the video of the boos and her fall. Despite the characterization that there was a 'handful' of Mexicans who boo'd, it was thunderous. How dare they, with all this nation has done, and now because they want a free pass to ravage this nation further and we resists, they boo this young woman.

Edwards 'Not Comfortable' Around The Gays

Johnny--not comfortable with Teh Ghey

Former Aide Takes Shots at Edwards

Robert Shrum, the veteran Democratic strategist who worked on John Edwards's 1998 Senate campaign in North Carolina, does not remember his onetime client very fondly. In his new memoir, "No Excuses: Concessions of a Serial Campaigner," Shrum recalls asking Edwards at the outset of that campaign, "What is your position, Mr. Edwards, on gay rights?"

"I'm not comfortable around those people," Edwards replied, according to Shrum. He writes that the candidate's wife, Elizabeth, told him: "John, you know that's wrong."

Well now, I'm confused. What does he mean by 'uncomfortable' anyway? The happy, fun, goofy way I'm uncomfortable when I think of Angelina Jolie, or the disgusted, nauseated uncomfortable when I think of Rosie O'Donnell?

Meeee.....yow! Who took my cheeseburger?!?

Shrum also reveals how angry the Silky Pony got when he told him he wasn't going to work on his campaign:

When Shrum called to say he had decided to join the presidential campaign of another former client, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Edwards was angry. "I can't believe you would do this to me and my family. I will never, ever forget it, even on my deathbed," he quotes Edwards as saying.

The Tiny Gay Squirrel says: "Now that is gay."

Magician Declares: Vegas Run by Gays, Jews and Americans

And someone other than a gay man would have thought this up?

Obviously, the crowd that knows how to have the best and most fun. And hey, why doesn't he make all the Joooooz, gheys, and Americans just disappear? Oh, but then there'd be no one left to give him his own show. Silly me.

I am wondering, though, about teh ghey--was it the half-naked women in high-heels and boas that gave him his first clue?

Vegas run by gays and Jews, says magician

Swedish magician Joe Labero has provoked a strong reaction with suggestions that Las Vegas is controlled by "Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents".

As a prelude to his controversial thesis, Labero explained that he has long been close to getting his own show in Las Vegas.

"But at the end of the day it seems to be impossible - unless you are a homosexual, a Jew or an American.

"I don't mean to sound prejudiced of course, I'm just cynical. A blond Swedish Viking will have a hard time breaking through the hierarchies that control Vegas, where power rests in the hands of Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents.

"But I will get there, sooner of later," Labero told the magazine.

Those controversialist Swedish Viking illusionists!

50 MPH Over A Speed Bump Without a Bra On

Kate Beckinsale

That is what would cure Kate Beckinsale of her fetish-fascination with large breasts. Now, if she were talking about wanting someone else's, I'd be kinder (and act really fast to get her phone number), but she wants them for herself. Silly, naive, able-to-jog-without-getting-whiplash girl.

Kate Beckinsale Says She Has Breast Envy

Asked by Glamour in its May issue if she could switch bodies with someone for a day, who would that be, the star of the new thriller Vacancy replies, "Someone with gigantic real breasts, like Queen Latifah."

Getting more off her chest, Beckinsale, 33, says, "I'm so fascinated by breasts because my mother didn't have them either. If I had them, I'd run up and down a flight of stairs!"

Yes, she's lovely and all that, but that's an awfully extreme scenario to imagine if you just want to slap yourself in the face.

Guilty Tramp or Regular Chick?

With the Scooter Libby news today I was forced to think again about Valerie Plame. This disturbs me because I then feel guilty because I find her very attractive, and as a result am unable to dislike her as much as I normally would considering the situation.

This makes me feel, among other things, like the shallow end of the pool. Should I feel guilty, or am I just a Regular Chick? Well, okay, an Irregular Chick. With all this confessing, maybe I should become a Catholic. I do feel better now. But I think Jesus may be appalled. Hmmm...

And I know I can't be the only one in this predicament. But I may be the only one who admits it :)

Oh, criminy.

As Requested, More Emergency Ugly Swarthy Enemy Antidote

Many of you were more seriously affected by Ugly Swarthy Enemy Syndrome than I realized. Consequently, here and via email, many have asked for additional Babe Antidote. Who better than you, after all, to know whether or not you've had enough?

Based on your comments about symptoms and possible cures, I have collected a variety of Babes. Janet has also brought to my attention that I have been remiss when it comes to the fact that some need diversity of antidote. Therefore, for the first time on Tammy Blog two Babe Men will be featured. Additionally, it seems a certain Babe Antidote works especially well for some of you. More of the "Sienna" antidote has been specifically requested. Heck, I'm just a medical service provider. Who am I to question which antidote to Ugly Swarthy Enemy works best?

Lastly, ArtGal apparently has a quirky antidote requirement, that of the "Blue Eyes" variety (taking me right out of the running). But, believe it or not, I was able to rustle up a couple of "blue" doses.

Don't say I never gave you anything. Now sit up and roll up your sleeves.

Two more Sienna doses:

For Janet, and others with her particular requirement :) David Beckham, who just announced he has signed to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy. For five years at one million dollars a week. He better spend some of that here. I have to confess, though, I still won't care about soccer.

Additional doses of Man, the next two of Daniel Craig. (Even I wouldn't slam the window down on his fingers ;)

Yummy

Daniel Craig.jpg

And for ArtGal, a dose with Baby Blues:

Now, just in case that's the wrong antidote, let's try the More Extra Special Antidote to Butt-Ugly Toothless Savage:

Yep, I think that'll do it. If you don't like the first kitty, this second one just may do the trick.

Okey-dokey. Wow, I feel just like Florence Nightingale. All better now?

The Babes Antidote

I must make up to you for posting that horrific image of al-Sadr in the previous post (be warned as you scroll down). The best way I know to banish Ugly is with the light of Beauty. So here, after many weekends of my not posting a Babe for the Weekend, are a few images reminding us of the importance and beauty of Western Civilization. It is a reminder of Why We Fight and why President Bush had better give the Marines the order to do what they do best.

Is that enough? If you need more, just let me know :)

UPDATE:

Surprise! You did need more.

The Ugly American chimes in at SondraK with her antidote preference.

More Divas Than You Can Shake a Stick At

**Bumped up--voting in "Round One" (who knew there were mutliple rounds?!) continues until Sunday.

Even after the Weblog Awards, I know your thirst for voting has not been quenched. Fortunately, Gay Patriot now has a poll up for Grande Conservative Blogress Diva. Yes, that is a title only a gay man would come up with. I have been nominated, and if you're so inclined, you can vote for me (every day ;) by clicking the link. I thought I already had all the adjectives one could hope for, but if I win this, we can add at least two more.

Unlike the Weblog Awards where we had snarky leftist blogs involved, I can truly say with this one, I'm honored to be on the list. While I have already voted for myself (with one eyebrow raised even higher than usual), I wouldn't be surprised if you get confused and dizzy--all the women nominated are great, Like Michelle, The Anchoress, SondraK and, well, Alexandra, the proprietor of the great art/politics blog All Things Beautiful and a woman with a personal portrait which compels One to gaze...and gaze. At least it does this One.

So, for whomever you vote, remember, you can always claim you participated in something with the word "diva" involved. That should liven up any conversation.

Now I must go and change into my swimsuit and high heels. And don't let me forget my sash!

Possible Proof bin Laden Very Well May Be Dead

All Tara, all the time. No bin Laden, any of the time.

It's five days away from Christmas, and the only story in the "news" is Miss USA Cries, Doesn't Get Fired, Gets Sent to Rehab by The Donald.

I've been trying to care, and all I can think about is that I must be going to the wrong clubs in the wrong city because I've never seen Miss USA and Miss Teen USA make out, or drink, or dance around. So now I'm bummed about this issue so close to Christmas, and I'm not upset about some new Islamist terror attack killing thousands, ergo, bin Laden very well may be dead.

I felt I should be happy that a matter this trivial has consumed the news. Then I slipped back into being unhappy that a matter this trivial has consumed the news. Then I had some sake and everything was okay.

Nicole Kidman can claim a new crown. The Hours Oscar winner is the new chart-topper on the fifth annual list of highest-paid women actors in the film industry, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Kidman, who commanded a salary of nearly $17 million for her upcoming movie The Invasion (set for August 2007 release), rose from the No. 2 spot she previously held.

The Top 10, as ranked by the Reporter, are:

1. Nicole Kidman, $16 million-$17 million
2. Reese Witherspoon, $15 million
3. Renee Zellweger, $15 million
4. Drew Barrymore, $15 million
5. Cameron Diaz, $15 million
6. Halle Berry, $14 million
7. Charlize Theron, $10 million
8. Angelina Jolie, $10 million
9. Kirsten Dunst, $8 million-$10 million
10. Jennifer Aniston, $8 million

Who should really be at the top and isn't even on the list: Women like Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren, and Kate Winslet. Interestingly, all English.

UPDATE:

I have been gently reminded by Dave J in Comments that Kidman and Blanchett are both Australian, not English. I would argue, though, in a very weak attempt at being right, that it's sort of the same thing? It's the accent that gets me I suppose :) But I'm actually even more wrong about Kidman--two very famous "Australians" were actually born here in the U.S.--Kidman and Mel Gibson. So, there you go. :)

World's Sexiest Older Women

Helen Mirren (no complaints here)

England has decided. After a 1,000 person poll. At a shopping center. But I think they got things generally right.

One Sexy Dame

Times are changing, my folks. You no longer have to be a 20 year old to be deemed sexy by the public...

At 61, Dame Helen Mirren has been named the world's sexiest older woman...

1. Dame Helen Mirren.
2. Goldie Hawn.
3. Charlotte Rampling.
4. Susan Sarandon.
5. Honor Blackman.
6. Joanna Lumley.
7. Vanessa Redgrave.
8. Lauren Hutton.
9. Sophia Loren.
10. Debbie Harry

Debbie Harry

Wow. Debbie Harry is over 60. How did that happen? And while she doesn't look like she's been hit by a car or anything, how did she make the list when Jacqueline Bisset didn't? That's just weird. Are the people who shop at the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex all on crack, or were they just waiting in line at the Lenscrafters?

Guest Babe for the Weekend

I'm declaring her a Guest Babe because she's being feted at another site, and it will also not preclude me from crowning our own Tammy Blog Babe for the Weekend.

So go to The Other Side of Kim for your treat. At that blog you will find not only the lovely Barbara Stanwyck, but scroll down a little and you'll find another special sort of babe, the Winchester Mod 1892. I bet you didn't know some babes could be cold and hard, did you? ;)

I love us.

Starbucks: Coffee or Crack?

Only in my town. But I completely understand. About the pastry part. Not about the naked part, or the burglary part or the rubber bullet part. (HT Defamer)

Naked man runs through Starbucks, eats pastries, gets shot by rubber bullets

At 5am this morning, a "drunken naked guy" used a sock full of rocks to shatter the glass on the front door, and stormed inside to eat "all the pastries". Police responded and found the guy running around the store, resisting arrest. He had feathers in his hair and an American flag... although it wasn't explained to me if this was a large or small flag, or where it was placed (or, perhaps, raised). The cops had to use rubber bullets and a beanbag shotgun to subdue him.

So, does this mean we can officially say that Starbucks is putting something extra into everything? Extra caffeine into coffee and whatever else into those pastries, which obviously prove the devil is good at baking. I bet the naked guy was probably some lawyer who began to jones for the low-fat cinnamon crumble coffee cake. I'm just guessing; I would have no personal knowledge of what that might drive a person to do. I suppose I've been lucky that when I needed a pastry the Starbuck's has been open.

For a while now, every time I go into a Starbuck's it reminds me of a scene in the film Indochine, when Catherine Deneuve goes to an opium den and gets really high because her young lover leaves her (insane fool!) for her not especially interesting adopted daughter. I mean, what's that about? Really.

What? Just because in the movie she's a beautiful, French, controlling, crack (opium) whore-ish sort of land-owner colonist? And?

I would say, if I had to choose three Deneuve films as my favorites, they would be: The Last Metro, The Hunger and Indochine.

And while Deneuve could be described alternately as a 'tart' or 'muffin' or maybe even 'sweetie-pie' by those in the know, the term 'Pumpkin Cheese Muffin' would never apply. Therefore, if I had to choose, my three Starbuck's pastry favorites are: the Heath Bar Brownie bar thingy, the Blueberry Muffin, and the little Brownie Bite. Several of those at the same time, actually. 'Little' is the operative word there.

That said, I need to get back to my coffee.
