PETA: Babies Suck!
Um... this is loco, man.
We all know how gung-ho PETA is about spaying and neutering pets. Now, they're trying to stop human breeding, as well.
They're having a contest. The winner receives a free vasectomy. I am so not kidding.
It's a two-fer: Get your animal companion fixed, and get yourself fixed too! Human overpopulation is crowding out animal life on the planet, and dog and cat overpopulation is creating a euthanasia crisis that is a crying shame. Disappearing wilderness, vanishing water resources, and pollution is the price that future generations will pay for more human births, while losing their lives is the price that millions of homeless dogs and cats pay when guardians neglect to "fix" their companion animals.
To enter, get your dog or cat spayed or neutered, then submit an essay answering the question, "Why should PETA neuter you?"
Contest runs through April 27.
Team Bossy needs you!
It’s Albuquerque AIDS Walk time! This year’s walk happens Saturday, April 30 at 11 a.m. at Highland High School, a.k.a. Beavis and Butthead's stomping grounds. Seriously, this school was the inspiration. B&B creator, Mike Judge, attended HHS. I digress...
My walk crew, Team Bossy, is exceptionally fabulous. Please sponsor us!
The Michael King Memorial AIDS Walk is a local, grass-roots effort to feed community members living with HIV/AIDS.
Every dollar raised will go to the Joe & Jean Travis HIV/AIDS Food Bank.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic hit home for Joe and Jean Travis in the 90’s when their son, Michael King, tested positive. After AIDS took Michael in 1995, Joe and Jean turned dedicated their lives to fighting AIDS, feeding HIV/AIDS positive people, taking them to medical appointments, providing financial assistance when possible, overseeing the NM AIDS Quilt, volunteering with The United Court of the Sandias and volunteering 15 years at New Mexico AIDS Services.
With your support, we know that we can make a difference in the lives of people living with AIDS/HIV. To help reach the walk’s goal of $30,000 to fund the Joe & Jean Travis HIV/AIDS Food Bank, please sponsor Team Bossy.
Pledges in any amount are greatly appreciated. Donations can be made in cash or check. All donations are tax deductible.

Sheen: Still Loco
Pug wars at Camp Sheen.
Sadly, ex-wife Denise Richards was the tirade target this time. My heart goes out to that woman. Not only did he put her through that whole fiasco at the Plaza hotel back in October (when naked, cracked-out Charlie tore the room apart and the hooker locked herself in the loo... yeah, that fiasco... they're all kinda merging into one big lump of ka-ray-zay now, right?), but now he's pissed that she won't let her treasured Pugs stay at his home anymore.
Why? Because Sheen recently neglected one so badly that it died. Next!
Unfortunately, Crackie, I mean Charlie, won't let it go. He recently unleashed the following rant via Twitter:
"We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH -neese POOR-ARD. A VILE KIDNAPPER AND NOW DOG THIEF. HATE."
Then he added: "Like a Dinosaur Stampede from middle earth RAGING atop Col. Kilgore's main rotor, our assault must be EPIC. The Truth is our rocket fuel. c."
Wow, Charlie. "Duh-neese Poor-ard." You have officially reached eight-year-old boy status. Fail.
This Kicks Caffeine's Ass
The mid-morning slump just kicked in. Blahhhh. Rather than do the same ol' caffeine routine, I instead decided to re-review that batshit-crazy Japanese McDonald's commercial.

Another Nail Debacle for Foxy Brown
Foxy Brown's fingernails bring problems.
This time, she was kicked off a Royal Caribbean cruise because she went nuclear after missing her manicure-at-sea appointment.
When she showed up three hours late and the salon wouldn't accommodate her, Foxy fah-lipped the hell out.
Security reportedly removed her from the salon then banished her to her room, where she remained under supervision until the ship docked a couple days later in the Cayman Islands, where she was booted off the boat. Supposedly, she was then escorted to an airport and flown home.
If you recall, Foxy faced assault charges in '04 due to allegedly attacking two nail salon workers. Then, in '07, she allegedly assaulted a beauty store employee.
Denny's Introduces the Maple Bacon Sundae
Um... I think I might need to try it. There, I said it. Not proud.
The bacon trend's kinda on the way out, right? Oh, well. Better late than never, Denny's.

In NYC this weekend? Hit this must-attend.
In an effort to show support for the recent earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan, Fashion Girls for Japan will host a special two-day designer sample sale to benefit Japan Society’s Japan Earthquake Relief Fund, the Red Cross and the NYC’s Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Fundto be held at the Bowery Terrace in The Bowery Hotel on Saturday April 2, 11am-7pm and Sunday April 3, 11am to 5pm. 100% of the proceeds from the sales will go towards disaster relief efforts.
More than 60 New York-based designers have come together– including Alexander Wang, Altuzzara, Derek Lam, Diane von Furstenberg, Doo Ri, Proenza Schouler, Thakoon, VPL, Zero Maria Cornejo and several accessories designers– and pledged to donate ‘one rolling rack’ of their clothing for this charity event. All items will be offered at 50% or more off the retail price.

With volunteers from Japanese-American fashion community, the generous donations of New York designers, and special support from fashion consultant Julie Gilhart, these members of the American fashion industry aim to aid and rebuild hope for their Japanese colleagues and customers through this special “60+ Designers/60+ Rolling Racks” event.

Sammy Hagar Alien Fabulousness
I am loving Sammy Hagar's abducted by aliens report.
He says they plugged into him and it was "a download situation." It also happened during daylight hours, says Mr. 1-2-3 Lock Box.

Goldfinger & Dove: F*ck Yeah!
Last night, I watched a brief, mid-doc segment featuring the magical stylings of Goldfinger & Dove.
If you have a few moments (or one minute and 35 secs, to be precise) to kill, you might need to check out the "sizzling sleight of hand" featured in this clip from a 1970s show. The music, dancing, fashion and decor win. Full-on 70s fabulousness.

Happy anniversary to LVD and MP!
Today marks one year since I officially became Mary Poppins' guardian.
Love!
Happy birthday, Logan 5!
It's Michael York's birthday.
You might know him better as Logan 5, the seksi Sandman from Logan's Run, my favorite sci-fi flick.
Don't you dare hate on Logan's Run, or there will be problems.
Viva Logan 5! Carousel is a LIE, baby!
Man named Cokayne arrested for... wait for it... drug dealing!
The Washington Post - The story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed because otherwise it wouldn’t be that interesting.
The Fairfax County police on Tuesday arrested a man named Kevin Lee Cokayne and charged him with dealing drugs.
The police were looking to acquire Cokayne, so they went to a house on Franklin Farm Road in the Herndon area and found Cokayne in a rented apartment in the basement, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in court .
As the undercover detective walked downstairs and discovered Cokayne, the detective asked if he could search the apartment. That was no good for Cokayne, who told the detective, “I don’t see why you want to waste your time for an eighth of weed. It’s a misdemeanor,” according to the affidavit. So the cops got a search warrant for the home of Cokayne.
But apparently Cokayne was selling marijuana, not cocaine, the court documents indicate. Police found a safe with marijuana, a wooden box with marijuana, two jars containing marijuana, a smoking device with marijuana, a digital scale, and “records and documents for Kevin Cocaine [sic],” a search inventory reveals.
Cokayne, 24, was charged with two felony counts of distributing marijuana. On what appears to be his Facebook page, he has a picture of an eight-ball. We could not make this up.

An Open Letter to Abercrombie Kids
Dear Abercrombie Kids,
Really?!? Padded bikini tops for eight-year-old girls? Sigh.
Plastic surgeons around the globe must be incredibly stoked due to all the future clients you're giving them. Padding only goes so far, honey, then you want the real deal. Trust me, I'm well-versed here.
Hugs & kisses,
Lisa
