So here I am.The last week has been really, really... odd. First the world comes to a complete stop for a day, and then life goes on. Trouble is everything is upside down and right side up.Caterpillar: Who... are... you?Alice: Why, I hardly know, sir. I've changed so much since this morning, you see...Caterpillar: No, I do not C, explain yourself.Alice: I'm afraid I can't explain myself, you see,
Really, Jennifer? Really?Although we do love the unintentional comedy of her little "USA," as if just writing it will somehow transform Charlotte York here into Mary Lou Retton.We're sorry, but this, like so many other entries, was just laughable. The entire episode last night was a lesson in how "I'm going to stick to my own style" is almost always a huge mistake in this competition.Taken on its
Morpheus: I imagine that right now, you’re feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?
Neo: You could say that.
Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that’s not far from the truth.

Let's play what's wrong with this statement? Prime Minister Stephen Harper rejected an expanded probe, telling reporters there is no evidence to suggest official secrets have been revealed, and he dismissed outright questions about electronic eavesdropping."There is no evidence to indicate that documents have circulated," the Prime Minister said at a media briefing in Paris, where he is meeting w
Remember those tear-jerker telephone commercials of the "70s and "80s? Do you recall how they were as sappy and almost romantically sad, pulling on your emotional strings? Well, I don't know if they are the same writers or not, but the new public relations campaign by embattled Citgo leaves that same weird taste in your mouth.The oil giant, run by the Venezuelan government headed by the dangerous lunatic Hugo Chavez, has been under intense public fire lately. Recent similar P.R. stunts, such as whipping the New York media into mini-frenzy by giving poor, destitute American citizens free fuel for their homes, didn't have the overall desired results they had hoped. (Just ask actor/activist/career-suicide prone and publicity-hound friend of President Hugo Danny Glover how his public image has been since his Chavez love-in.)The attempt by Citgo to fight their image as part of a crazy mans empire has led to television commercials that hold up sacrificial "underprivileged' Ame
Image: Alice's Adventure in Wonderland, WikipediaBefore I get too far behind, I should give an update on today's Wonderland experience. As I mentioned in my LG goes through the looking glass article, I have been trying to get Nora to set a time that she would like to come to work. I realize that the buses probably don't have a set schedule − after all this is Honduras − and that she won't always be able to be here right on the dot. I'd just like to have, say, a general half hour range that she might be arriving, at least most days.So yesterday, with El Jefe's help, we had a long discussion in which he assured her that we would never dock her pay if she was here waiting for us and that La Gringa didn't sleep in just to teach her a lesson. After much talk, finally we pinned her down and Nora said 8:00 a.m. would be good for her and how late would she have to work to get the full pay if she came at 8:00? I said she would need to work until 4:30 p.m. with half an hour for lunch.
This isn't real life.
Real life is letting men fuck you over their desks
(and enjoying it, which is somehow the worst thing).
Real life is regularly running out of money, and then food.
Real life is having no proper heating. Real life is physical.
Give me books instead: give me the invisibility of the contents of books,
the thoughts, the ideas, the images.
Let me become part of a book.
And so I bought it. I bought the book on the strength of that teaser,
along with the promise of a portal into psychokinetic metaspace. Smart, stylish and dizzying, "The End of Mr Y" tantalizes me now from his place beside my bed, luring me with a declaration of curses, mysterious deaths and perhaps some flagrant fucking.
He calls me as a lover might, his allure as tangible, as real as the dust that lays on the shelves, the dishes that pile at the sink and the domestic duties that sit undone.
And oh how undone I become in the custody of a good book, for in my own feverish hands the res
An eclectic black and white pattern on silk chiffon forms the backdrop for this easy and uncomplicated, yet totally modern and sexy, kimono dress by Annakim Violette. Detailed with vivid pink lined sleeves and pink buttons, this dress looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. One of a kind, this dress would be perfect for a tea party with the Mad Hatter. Or just a nice Sunday brunch. See more of her unique sense of style HERE.
Princess Tina has such a great range of apparel and jewelry that it is sometimes hard to pick what exactly should be showcased. This lovely take on the whole Alice in Wonderland theme ($28 USD) is the perfect addition to any girls’ t-shirt arsenal. Sometimes all you want to wear are dirty jeans, t-shirts, and a pair of black chucks!
Gucci to Follow Prada Down Mobile Rabbit Hole?
Yeah, mobile phones have been status symbols and fashion accessories for some time now, but the concept of a designer's name taking top billing in the product name is a fairly recent development. If Gucci really does have a handset baking in the oven, we're guessing the Italian icon isn't doing the heavy lifting of the development all by its lonesome, though we haven't an inkling who might be involved. Heck, we can't even really make out what kind of form factor we have going on here, and all we've got is this one lonely pic up on flickr to go by. Of course, LG and Prada have set the bar pretty high in this arena, so if this is legit, Gucci had best come out with guns blazing.
