OMZ! This video is so good! Exploitation style! Woot! Enjoy:

A Pussy Wagon Cameo! I love Beyonce’s eye makeup at the diner. And her betty bangs are adorable! They never say/show why Gaga went to prison in the first place. Hmmm…And I believe that is Gaga’s sister in the jail cell before the mini-brawl. And a random Jai from Queer Eye cameo, too?! Ha-ha! Love it!

I’m not sure I’d call it a complaint per se, since I f-ing love this video, but the song and the video do not make sense together…but if you just take it for what it is then it is fab. This would be one of those rare moments when the video (especially now days) is far better than the song. Just sayin’!

If you haven’t, girls, you are missing out!

Not only do they offer custom sizing for a tiny price ($10 for real!),

but they also carry sizes 0-26!

R-A-D!

I have personally bought quite a few of their tops, one jacket and a gorgeous silk dress! All were of fine quality and the sizing (thanks to the custom option since I’m around a 28) was perfect!

A quick glimpse at their “Day Dresses” section should get your salivating for spring:

You bet I entered!

They add new stuff all of the time. Their prices are reasonable, styles unique, on-trend and classic…

You seriously cannot go wrong.

So check ‘em out and tell ‘em where you heard about them from!

They love customer feedback and work hard to please their customers.

You can become of fan of theirs on Facebook, too!

A few days ago we walked by a condo in Oakland for sale (3904 Ruby Street, Oakland, California) that seemed very nice, but started asking around to people in the neighborhood and we found out all sorts of savory information! Turns out they ran out of money halfway through the building and let the scaffolding sit up over an entire rainy season so that all of the internal beams and boards got wet, and they weren’t even covered or protected from the elements! They also contracted the lowest paid construction workers, so there are a so many problems with the unit. Like, the water heater in the basement doesn’t work properly and you have to run the water for about 7 minutes before you can get hot water in the shower, washer or dish washer. They man said that the poor tenants can’t even do their dinner dishes without turning on the water ahead of time and letting it run forever! What a waste of water! It makes me sad.

I guess the heater was installed wrong too, and that they didn’t have heat for two months last winter. They didnt install it correctly, and couldn’t repair it right either because the pipes were the wrong kind? Then some of the windows don’t open or close, and if you look closely, the front door is falling off (the guy said the people who live there had to file the door jam down so that it would close but it doesn’t seal so it’s always cold around the door)!

Half of the power outlets don’t work in half of the house, and they don’t know why, and the phone lines don’t work either so they can’t have a phone except for cell phones. And there are silverfish infesting the upstairs! Ewwww! Gross!

I did some research and I guess it was built by the Ruby Street Development and they are trying to sell the condos so that they will get their money back. The building looks good on the outside but it sounds like it would be a money pit. Did  you ever see that movie the Money Pit from the 80s? Ha ha!

Let this be a warning to anyone else who considers buying it! Make sure you do your homework! Especially at 3904 Ruby Street in oakland!

Instead of a music post I thought I’d share with you some comedy! It’s the best medicine and let me tell you, Don Reed is fantastic! Multi-talented and a local (for me) comedian, you just can’t get entertainment like this anywhere else! I recently heard him talk about his one-man show “East 14th” on my fave radio show “Hard Knock Radio” on KPFA (www.kpfa.org) and was blown away! I love him! So I give to you some clips from his show and please, sit back, relax and watch this guy do his thing:

I know it’s just a taste, but you get the idea! While his Oakland shows have just past we will be doing more of this one soon and possibly a feature film! Oh yeah…can’t wait for that!

With the whole lapband thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapband Note: no % of successes given) and of course the classic gastric surgery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_bypass_surgery mortality & infection rates are greatly underestimated on wiki), you’d think you’d be covered if you were looking for insane ways to fit into a thin-fantasy-centric society…but no! There’s a new way to hurt yourself:

Yes! They are sewing onto her actual tongue a polyethylene patch so that eating food is painful! Aren’t you stoked? (Totally sarcastic, of course!)

Still think there’s a thin person inside of you waiting to get out? WAKE UP! If you’ve considered any scary procedure then you’re probably fat and so fucking what?! 2 in 3 Americans are fat! So you have friends! You are worth more than what any thin-inspired marketing campaign tells you. You are a human being who deserves to live without being discriminated against or shamed!

STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP!
