Marilyn Loved Bling



Marilyn Loved Bling
By Jauretsi
To Marilyn, diamonds were “a girl’s best friend”. Today, in a more conscious world, we think Marilyn would have substituted her jewels for cute imitations, such as these adorable Fallon earrings, part of the eBay Holiday Collection 2012. The clock is ticking. There are only 3 days left before these gems are released on Monday, November 12th via the Fashion Vault page on eBay. In addition to Fallon, eBay collaborated with Billy Reid, Chris Benz, Jonathan Adler, Ruffian, Steven Alan, and Tibi. You can check out product shots from our seven designers here, to see what’s in store. Another female icon of the moment, Katie Holmes, was actually spotted on New York streets walking with Steven Alan’s iPad case from this same capsule collection, seen here onInStyle
If you’ve fallen in love with any one of the pieces, here’s a little secret. eBay will be having a 1 day sale for the early birds. If you download the eBay Fashion App this weekend, you’ll be invited to scoop up any of the seven designers on Sunday, a day before the sale goes online Monday morning. Did we mention one of our designers, Chris Benz, got lots of love this week during election night? Get yourself to these collector items first.

Rafflesia arnoldii, a Flor-monstro.



Rafflesia arnoldii, a Flor-monstro.

Planta famosa por produzir a maior flor do mundo, atingindo 106 cm de diâmetro e pesando até 10 kg. Ela produz uma substância que atrai insetos, que ficam presos no liquido pegajoso permitindo que a planta se alimente deles. A espécie é natural das ilhas de Samatra e Bornéu, na Indonésia.

Essa gigantesca flor é um parasita que sobrevive retirando nutrientes da
s raízes de uma árvore chamada Tetrastigma. "A Rafflesia é totalmente ajustada para essa função: não faz fotossíntese, não tem folhas, caule ou raiz. O corpo da planta é composto apenas por uma rede de pequenos vasos conectados à planta hospedeira", diz o botânico Philip Griffiths, do Jardim Botânico Real de Kew, na Inglaterra.

A flor enorme, que pode demorar até um ano para desabrochar, é essencial para a propagação dessa espécie. "As grandes pétalas possuem muito mais osmóforos, células produtoras de perfume para atrair as moscas que polinizam a flor. Assim, o alcance do odor é maior e conseqüentemente chama mais insetos", afirma o botânico José Rubens Pirani, da USP.

As vezes tudo que precisamos é de mais uma chance. Só isso. Mais um dia. Mais um sorriso. Mais um abraço. Mais uma briga. Mais uma conversa. Mais um beijo. Mais um tempo... Pra fazer com que tudo se acerte

Our Flamboyant Forefathers: The Macaroni and The Dandy


Our Flamboyant Forefathers: The Macaroni and The Dandy



Gay men throughout history as have been portrayed as effeminate and flamboyant; mostly because the gay men who passed as straight usually stayed in the closet. The Macaroni and The Dandy didn't try to fit it; they created their ownsubcultures where they could be as outrageous as they dared! 

The Macaroni: 
In mid-18th century England, a Macaroni was a gentleman who dressed and spoke in a highly affected "continental" fashion. The effeminate mannerism and fashions of these over the top trend setters were thought to be Italian by the more conservative English and so they labeled them as Macaroni. A "macaroni" was literally a small tricorn hat placed on top of a high wig. The flamboyant Macaronis were the precursor to the dandies, but were far more outrageous.



In the Middlesex Journal for November 7th, 1772 Juventis commented on the use of the term Macaroni: 
"If I consult the prints, ’tis a figure with something uncommon in its dress or appearance; if the ladies, an effeminate fop; but if the ’prentice-boys, a queer fellow with a great large tail." 
Basically this meant that if a woman saw these illustrations she would just think it was an effeminate dandy, but if a working class boy saw them, he would recognize the Macaroni as a homosexual.


The Dandy: 
George "Beau" Brummell eptomized the Dandy. Brummel was obsessed with re-inventing male fashion; his tightly tailored riding clothes, crisp fabrics and his simple elegance was revolutionary for it's time.  He believed that a fashionable man should dress in an understated and elegant style. He was concerned  with all aspects of male fashion and grooming and became famous in English Society for his stylish clothing and witty tongue.
In 1799, upon coming of age, Beau Brummell inherited a small fortune of thirty thousand pounds, which he spent mostly on custom made clothing, gambling, and high living.

Brummel's style was quickly copied by the fashionable set and it gradually mutated into a more extreme version of the Dandy style... and we know who was responsible for taking it to the next level, don't we?

When 3D movies play to the technology by flinging things on screen directly at viewers, it looks silly



3D in 2D: A Supercut
When 3D movies play to the technology by flinging things on screen directly at viewers, it looks silly. Then when those movies are converted to 2D for home viewing, those scenes look downright stupid. Here is a supercut I put together of some of the most ridiculous examples from some horror movies originally released in 3D (it’s still Halloween, so it’s still relevant).
The films included are: Amityville 3DMy Bloody Valentine 3DDogs of HellThe Final DestinationFinal Destination 5Friday the 13th Part IIIHouse of WaxJaws 3DNight of the Living Dead 3DA Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy’s DeadParasitePiranha 3DPriestSaw 3D and Shark Night 3D.
Beware: There are sharks, there is gore, there are flying eyeballs.

We’re happy to report that Brooklyn’s shelter dogs survived Hurricane Sandy and dressed up in their best suits yesterday for important Halloween business.


We’re happy to report that Brooklyn’s shelter dogs survived Hurricane Sandy and dressed up in their best suits yesterday for important Halloween business. Sparrow, pictured above in his normal weekday outfit, “exhibits a calm and mellow demeanor in the home,” although “he does not like dogs in his face, so he should not be allowed to go to the dog run.” Fair enough. Who does like dogs in their face? Adopt Sparrow or another post-hurricane dog friend at Brooklyn’s BARC Shelter.

Ah, Thunderdome ‘97.



The happy hardcore, the goofy flailing, the chewing gum to keep your teeth from grinding while high as a vlieger on MDMA.
Good times.

Oprah’s Favorite Things List Has Seen Better Days


Oprah’s Favorite Things List Has Seen Better Days

November is finally here, which means Christmas, which lasts from November to January, is here too. Oprah released her Favorite Things list today, right on time for the premature holiday season. Unfortunately, this year’s splattering of ritzy items that our brokeass family would never buy for us pales in comparison to lists of years past.
For one thing, foodstuffs containing truffles take up five spots of the 48-item list. Everyone knows that if you use truffle oil on Chopped, you get eliminated on the spot. C’mon Oprah, what is this amateur hour?

Here’s a picture of President Obama that’s making the rounds right now.
