Pin up of the week - Volume 2, week 4


This week I would like to feature the pin-ups that actually first got me interested in this whole game. The Rigde Tool Company Calendar. This calendar was published every year, and has featured some notable ladies. In 1952, George Petty was the featured artist - and it is these incredible images that I am particularly fascinated with. While there is plenty of imagery of women, cars, and tools, there is nothing that matches what Petty accomplished here. His contrast of femininity vs masculinity is masterful. Ballet dancers balanced precariously on the bars of large machine-shop tools, leaning on clamps and oversized wrenches. The pink and the red. The romance and the passion. It reminds me of why I am a woman and why I love men in the most unapologetic, pre-feminist movement, "I-want-a-man-that-know-how-to-use-his-hands" way.


Enjoy!

Nothin' but a saturday afternoon rant ...

Why do the pushy, bossy and downright selfish peoples seem to get whatever they like? How is it that these peoples can walk all over everyone else and then not notice that they take their ideas, money, land and culture? These same people claim other people's things for their own without a bat of an eyelash - I guess they feel they've earned it when they have worked so hard a bullying. I am tired of it. The Aboriginals, the African Americans, indentured laborers, and people taken into the salve industries have had it the worst on our planet, and most of this has been at the hands of European descendants. There is evil that lurks in many people, but I am a humanist and fundamentally believe that everyone has the capacity to be good. Why is it, then, that statistically the people have been the most "evil" have always been of European descent? Why are these people the ones full of hate and ready to destroy? Why is it that over and over the peoples of our earth that have values are ready to lay down and the people that have no values will be too happy to take from everyone else - and some how those assholes always win. Well, maybe those good people are tired of being taken advantage of and will finally stand up and make their voices heard. Perhaps it is time that good people everywhere just stopped letting assholes take advantage of them and insist on good winning, not evil.

I apologize for the vagueness of this post. I don't really want to bitch about anything specific. I am just a little angry about many little things, but mostly I feel like there a lot of people in my life that are extremely selfish and self centered and I have had to endure them for entirely too long. they steal peoples personality, their style, their money and I would not be surprised if their descendants stole this land and people. They are ugly on the inside and out. Everything about them is offensive. I hope they don't reproduce because they can't think outside of themselves and their children will have to be like me and raise themselves, and then when they are grown up, raise their parents.

Which brings me to my last point in this rant. This point is much more specific. I was wondering the other day why most people (and by most I mean everyone except wealthy people) don't sit down and teach their kids how to manage money. I figure it is because they themselves don't know how and it is a point of embarrassment. The truth is that this is the reason our countries have found themselves in a massive credit crunch and one of the reasons why poor people stay poor. My mom did teach me how to keep my bank account balanced and how to make a basic budget so that I would not overspend - but she didn't ever mention the word savings account, she definitely didn't teach me about investments, and now I know why. I am reaching an age where I need to focus on my life, and my mom should have her retirement, savings and investments sorted out, instead I think she's been selfishly spending all of her life and not planning for her future, and now I have to help her out. i figure she simply doesn't know and nobody taught her. Now I have to choose whether to have kids or if I should take care of my mom ... how could she do this to me? What's worse is I am not alone, there is a whole generation of boomers that have done this to their children. I just have the misfortune of being an only child. I will never do this to my kids, if I ever get to have any, and I will teach them how to manage money. My kids will be wealthy and so will theirs. My children will be kind and they will not be taken advantage of. Perhaps they will become a famous politician ... so they can do whatever they like:

Pin up of the week - Volume 2, week 3


What is sure to be the most popular picture of the year, and undeniably the best picture of the week, while it is not a classic pin-up and does not fall into the beef-cake category, I just couldn't ignore how important this week has been. Starting with MLK day, followed by the inauguration of Barack Obama, I predict that sooner than later we will finally get an international holiday (long weekend maybe?) in January and it will be in Barack's honor, but also to honor all that came before hime and all that will come after. YAY!

Big news, anti-climax and funny stuff from the vaults of SNL


I have some big changes going on in my life right now. It is all very exciting. I am in the stages of writing my thesis - and that means it is the last lap!

I am moving away from the town I have lived in for 7 years.

I am looking forward to having a few final memories here with some of my friends at the few places I have grown to know and love. I went out for my last karaoke the other night. The place had changed a lot in the last few months since I last went - I didn't see any of the old regulars and I have to say it was a little anti-climatic.

I also am looking around me and I realize that most of the people I grew to love here have long since picked up and left - so I don't really have many people to say goodbye to. For the most part, leaving this place caqn be summarized as "anti-climatic" - except for the fact that I really can't wait to go back to Toronto.

The big smoke. My home. The city where I can see my friends and family more often.

Oh, and of course there will be the shopping and world-class restaurants. I can't wait to eat real food again! I hadn't realized it - but I grew into a real foodie. I love food. I love to cook, and I expect a level of ability from my servers and the chef that seems to be absent everywhere in Peterborough. I expect people to know what ingredients are in their dishes. I expect people to know how to place plates on the table without putting their sleave into your plate or knocking over your water. I don't care about the goofy east side mario's smile and I don't want a sparkly candle in my birthday cake - I want impeccable, snobby service!

On another note, the other day my stumble friend sent me this video. I accidentally closed the page and lost the link, but I found another link to it. I find it funny for sooo many reasons, but right now it seems relevant because Tina Fey is kicking ass on her show 30 rock - which I so enjoy watching. I hope it makes the ladies chuckle.

I have always wondered why the women are runnign through the woods in those feminine hygeine commercials - if you imagine that there is a robotic device chasing their va-J-J, it explains everything!

Lime Crime is a great place to get bright, sparkle-ly make-up - and this season color is "in".

I found this site the other day and I love it! If I had not just spent a mini fortune this Christmas, I'd order a batch of every color. Oh well, next month!

I plan to get the the pixie-dust and the medusa eyedust for sure - what are your favorites?
