Mr. T Hearts his momma

Treat your mamma right (Windows Media).

You tell 'em Mr. T. This is a shinning example of how stellar the 80's really were.

Wow, the alien gets mad

On last night's episode of ANTM (the show I love) Tyra bursts out with alien rage. The show starts off well, the models go for their lessons in acting. Put on stage to speak a few lines about flowers in a cockney accent, Michelle believes she has this whole thing nailed since she's acted for 4 years (as a woman). Sadly, the only other person who portraid an English accent worse than her was Tiffany and the beer in her weave. But Michelle believes that she sparkled with her radiant talent and much to her dismay did not win this competition. The winner Naima got to pick 2 friends to all receive free diamonds. Their next challenge was to pose with a male model by the name of Rip, Bif, or Bib, not really sure, but it was a stupid name never the less. And for the first time in weeks we were not choked by the Cover Girl product placement and instead got our fill of Wonder Bra. And by the looks of it, those bras were lacking in some wonder, I'd be afraid to put my little jigglies in those lace padded contraptions. Now we get to the fun stuff, no one passes out or has the flesh eaten from their body in this episode, but Tyra is full of the diva anger. At judging the girls are put to another test. This test is to see if these girls can read. Acting as a tv correspondent who is at fashion week they had to read from a prompter for the judges. This gets me, out of all of them words like technicolor and magenta where completely unknown to these dingbats. turning them to telecolor and magnetic do they not teach english in school anymore? Don't even get me started on how stumped they were when they had to read the word chartreuse you'd think that they were reading the Greek alphabet. Aside from mangling the names of designers (which in model land is apparently the ONLY thing one needs to know, all else is left to basic bodily functions, except eating,) the girls proved themselves to be completely illiterate. When Tiffany arrives to read her prompter she backs out of continuing, stating that she can't read big words. Tyra coaxes her on, and she continues and doesn't do as poorly as everyone else, but leaves the stage muttering how each week gets harder and harder, perhaps next week they might make them spell, won't that just make 8 pretty heads explode. Well the judges talk amongst themselves about who will go and nothing is accomplished at all and Nole does nothing but repeats the statement that is said before him, much like a parrot. Well the girls come teetering in, shaking from the fear that their dreams of being a winner on a reality TV show may come to an end this night. We get a big shocker as all the names are called but two Tiffany "Bitch poured beer in my weave" and Rebecca. Tyra calls them forward and in a shocking moment decides to eliminate both of them. Gasp! Well the two losers go to say their goodbys to the non-losers when Tyra calls them back to her. This is where I think this was staged for ratings. Tyra starts in on Tiffany about how she can't believe that this seems like a joke to her since Tiffany wasn't on the floor sobbing. I mean come on Tyra, you've broken down her spirit by making her order foods she can't pronounce and by making her READ! Tiffany defends herself and Tyra, in a gale force PMS rage, Tells Tiffany to shut-up and then pulls the "I was rooting for you, you could have won this competition" card, anything to make our tough ghetto Tiffany crack. But Tiffany has been through more on the streets and no Victoria's Secret super model was going to make her cry. They pack up and say that they learned so much for this experience and walk away from the splendors of a reality TV show.

Gotta love those wacky Eastern Europeans

I mean they give us such wonderful things as numa numa. This is a must see for anyone who loves big guys and funny Romanian music.

Changing colours

I learned recently how to change colours in the yarn while knitting and presented is my first test. It was going to be a pillow cover for these small beenie pillows we have, but it was also my first time with knitters graph paper and much to my dismay, my math was off... a lot. So this kinda goes now into a pile of oopsie's and I think that once the pillow bug gets me again, I will try this again. But you must agree that I look faaaabulous on a pillow.
