Sorry, folks. I just came back to my desk to discover that an unfinished post I thought I’d saved last night as a draft was instead scheduled to publish, not once but twice three times (and counting). I feel like I just left the bathroom with my skirt tucked into my underwear . . .
Anyway, here’s a joke.

Made in Thailand, primarily of junked motorcycle parts, these sculptures go way beyond any fan art I’ve ever seen. Continue reading

I’ve finally signed up for Bloglovin, and I’m excited to see what it does for my traffic. Wish me luck!
I know what I’m doing this weekend. How about you?

Happy Fourth! Today, I’ve got something really special for you.

I’d like everyone to take a moment out of their busy day jigging around to today’s musical post to say hello to my 2,500th follower! Let’s give some love to fellow blogger Whitney Thompson, who writes “Thirty-Something Woman.” With the exception of today’s post about owning an English Bulldog (bulldogs are spazzes, F.Y.I.), I haven’t read her blog yet, but you can be sure I’m going to!
I’m thrilled that so many of you lovely people feel I’m worth keeping an eye on (and goodness knows I need the supervision). Thanks to all of you!
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program . . .
My Perfect Breakdown! Congratulations!
Thanks to everyone who entered the contest. This was fun! Maybe we can get this to happen again sometime!
Have a good night, lovelies!

Too adorable not to share, even if it is staged.
The Police Department in Dover, DE just released a video in their new series “DashCam Confessionals.” The officer in the video is seen lip-syncing and shaking it to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off” while driving in his police cruiser.
The result is absolutely fantastic.
And you thought this was going to be a serious post.
I can’t imagine there’s anyone out there who hasn’t seen this, but I was reminded of it today and just had to share. In 2008, the Ellen Show got a message from the then-88-year-old Austin, TX, resident, Gladys Hardy. When Ellen called Gladys back, things get very funny very quickly. Ellen’s reaction to Gladys is the most genuine and most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen on television.
Need more Gladys? Me, too!
A bonus OBT (One Beautiful Thing) today:
This is a post by Contra Spem Spero… Et Rideo (Latin for “Hope against hope . . . and smile”) very appropriately entitled “Architecture of Flesh.” It’s a very well-written article, and I’m fascinated by these images. I would absolutely volunteer if I was certain I wouldn’t 1. run into anyone I know and 2. be identifiable. Would you?

“Individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape.” (– Spencer Tunick)
For 20 years now, New York-based photographer Spencer Tunick has been creating human art installations all over the world, calling together volunteers by the hundreds or thousands. He asks them to remove their clothes, in order to photograph them in massive groups. And they do.
His aim is an architecture of flesh where a great number of human bodies blends with the landscape, or juxtaposes with urban structures.
Warning: Since the nudity is central to Tunick’s art, the following photos are not screened out all depict naked human bodies.
Naked volunteers pose for the US photographer Spencer Tunick on the largest glacier in the Alps, Aletsch glacier, in Switzerland, as…
