Vancouver 2010: Katarina Witt, Still Hot

This just in. 1984 & 1988 Figure Skating gold medaler Katarina Witt is still kinda hot. Here she is with ancient Grandma Witt, er, whoops, Canada's 1988 sweetheart Elizabeth Manely! It was so long ago that Germany was still East Germany, and most of their "woman" were hairy-arm pitted genetically modified giants. Ahhh....Cold War love.

Super Bowl 2010

Megan Fox takes images of herself and people go crazy. I can only imagine the creative process on conceptualizing this ad. We've got this really lame touch screen imitation iPhone. Lets put Megan Fox in a bubble bath. "Genius!" It will go viral! Then on the set did they realize that she abnormally sized thumbs and have to get a hand model to do the touch screen stuff?

Slate's Best and worst Super Bowl Ads has a good round up and this great rational for not needing Internet on your TV. "An ad for Vizio televisions—touting their ability to display content from the Internet via special included software—shows you all the incredible Internet stuff you could be watching on your Vizio TV: dramatic gopher, the "Numa Numa" guy, the "Chocolate Rain" guy. … Wait, this is what's supposed to convince us we need the Internet on our TVs? Ancient YouTube clips? Tell me honestly: Are you excited to watch content like this on your TV? If so, please let me know, so I can decline your invitation to come over and watch TV."

Who won the game?

Gregor Robertson: Cat Lover, Terrible Pet Namer

Surprise, Surprise. Mayor Gregor Robertson has a cat. Seen here snuggling with said cat on the cover of Pet Connection magazine. And he has originally named his cat, Kitty. I knew it he names pets like governs this city. Poorly. (Via Vancouver Courier)

Vancouver 2010: Australia Defies IOC

One week until the games and the Australians in the Olympic Village (has anyone thought to stop calling it a village since it is bigger than a village and in super expensive condos?) have decided to pick a fight with the IOC by flying a massive flag out of one of their rooms.

The flag appears to be a drunk kangaroo trying to box or something. Apparently the Olympic suits don't like it. Hilarity ensues.

Friday Fashions: Hardihood

A Note to future PR peddlers. The hotter the fashion images you send me the more likely that they are to appear on this blog. Case in point these images from the new Hardihood woman's collection. The press release said something about playing with Tibetan Buddhist influences, but it looks to be that by Tibetan Buddhist influences they really mean super tight pants on cute girls. I'm okay with that. But what will the Lama think?

The photos are like they are shot in a fashionable part of Cormac McCarthy's The Road or something post-apocolypse or Delta, whatever. We're no Satorialist, but we know what we like.

Unleash the powers of the interwebs Case Study #4375

Alex Blagg, bored by the internet of the day, asks for something, and low and behold, the Internet provides.

The internet responds swiftly with photoshop and an idea for a book deal. It's become self aware. That is all.

Fashion Fridays: Nixxi skinny Pants, Duh

Clearly the fashion media people have discovered that if they send me images that feature hot rocker chicks, I will post them.

This is the 80's retro rocker look of Nixxi. They call it a cooler 1980's vibe. But unless we get Reagan back, that ship has sailed. Forgive my ignorance, but I knew there was skinny pants and whatever, but I failed to be in the know the category of slouchy tees. Who knew.

Model looks both super cute but kind of annoyed that she is a model at the same time. Like she might kick you in the junk if you tried to talk to her. I wonder if she is French? That would explain it a lot. Then again it could be because the photoshoot looks to have been done in some sort of converted old urinal or prison.
