The Fug Girls, who have a pretty suh-weet gig commenting on all things fashion related for New York Magazine have some valid things to say about Vogue's "Shape" Issue. If you're unfamiliar with the "Shape" issue, this is when "my hair is bigger than my body" editor Anna Wintour decides that it's time to put out an issue to appease The Big Girls, and by "big" I mean the girls who wear a size six,have your cake and read more too!

It may be really wrong of me to say so, what with the exploitation of a three year old to dhave your cake and read more too!

I'm a little late on this one, but as I get the opportunity to bitch about Northworst Airlines, it's not like I'm going to pass this one up. The proposed merger between Northworst and Delta has been put on the back burner.have your cake and read more too!

Good grief, but does that stupid gray pillbox hat bother me. Taaaaaaa-cky. The whole outfit is hideous! If one is unaccustomed to the duties and responsibilities attached to first lady-ship, like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy obviously is, it seems reasonable that one would look to see how others had done it, for inspiration.have your cake and read more too!

The Terminator shitcanned Dirty Harry. ...and lived to tell the tale. Must have something to do with the fact he's actually a robot and those .357 .44mag* bullets just pinged right off. Don't know what I was thinking. My apologies. Thanks to Bike Bubba for the correction

Yesterday, the FT published a rather lengthy interview/analysis piece focused on the new President-Elect of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev. The man whom nobody (you know, other than Vlad the Impaler) knows had some rather choice things to say. It's a long piece, but it's good. A few highlights of the article:

Courtesy of TechCrunch, we have for you this morning, the digitized version of the Vietnam War Memorial. Here's the story:

Last night, Mr. H. and I ventured down to the Minnesota Zoo's IMAX theater to take a peek at U23D. Now, I'd never seen a movie filmed in the IMAX format before, let alone a 3D movie (yes, kids, somehow I missed Jaws 3D), so I wasn't really familiar with the format, let alone if a 3D experience was really, well, three dimensional. I figured, if nothing else, it would be an opportunity to see the Vertigo tour show, because Mr. H.have your cake and read more too!

I was chatting with my niece, Maggie, on the phone last night. They were waiting for their easter eggs to get up/down (?) to room temperature before they could dye them. After discussing how chocolate easter bunnies are lovely things, and how solid ones are better than hollow, I asked Maggie a simple question:

Me: Are you going to be a good girl for Easter? Maggie: Are you going to be a good girl?

She didn't even pause whilst coming up with an expert deflection. She just zinged it right back to me. By the way, she's seven. Way to go, Maggie!have your cake and read more too!

Seems as if the Easter Bunny has been doing some of his runs early. I can practically feel Moses' temper being tested, can't you?have your cake and read more too!
