Happy Birthday Kat Von D!!!

May all of your wishes come true!

Kat Von D is a hellaciously talented tattoo artist currently on the TLC show Miami Ink. She’s opening her own tattoo shop, High Voltage Tattoo soon! Creator of absolutely stunning portraits carved into flesh, which you can see here.

You can see my piece above featured prominently on the Official Kat Von D fan club on MySpace, which got me an illustrious spot in their Top 24 friends. Probably would have done a portrait of her eventually, as I totally dig feisty chickies who have their own thing going and she is fierce! This just gave me a reason.

It’s beyond my comprehension, how she creates these masterpieces on human flesh with blood gushing over her work all the while. I find Miami Ink to be a fascinating study. I love hearing the customers’ ideas, how the artists work with those concepts and placement with consideration for body contours. I love seeing them trace it out and ink it. Of course the end results are most gratifying, when the customers love it, but I am fascinated by the whole process.

Also, peep the gallery for this and other work in the Design section. Don’t forget to nab some icons too, devil chickies, mermaids and creepy dolls abound!

Adult Swim

No, this is not in reference to the Mooninite hubbub. What I want to know is who these two are indulging in order to continue flinging their crap onto our TV screens?!

Tom Goes to the Mayor is the worst and I assume it’s on hiatus for a reason. Now we must face their hideous visages without the crappy Photoshop filter effects on their latest turd, premiering on Adult Swim next weekend?!

Sometimes it’s insulting, what execs think we will watch. 12oz Mouse, Squidbillies and other sucky shows littering the line-up, you are included in the mediocrity that sends me running to other channels, sitcom reruns even!

Goodbye Yvonne

My cherished fiend, Angel of Malevolence, broke this sad news to me:

Unmatched Beauty

Unmatched BeautyCanadian-born, Yvonne De Carlo – more widely known as Lily Munster – died on Monday, January 8th, 2007.

Abandoned by her father at 3, her mother worked as a waitress to support them. She encouraged her lively and entertaining child, who often staged impromptu neighborhood plays, with dance lessons.They moved to Hollywood when she was 15 to pursue fame, then back to Canada, returning in later years where she did achieve notoriety.

I would love to find a copy of this movie, American Gothic, one of her later movies about a lunatic family.

BEST COMMERCIAL EVER!

Giants are ravishing a city, only to be foiled by “DIARRHEA!” as an upbeat chorus cheerfully informs you while they perform a synchronized interpretive dance.

You’d think Pepto Max would make it available on their site, missed opportunity on their part – this commercial is HILARIOUS!!! >:D

I Love George Takei

I ♥ George Takei

I never cared much about anything having to do with the old school Star Trek series, but since George Takei came out of the closet and has been publicly speaking for equal rights for ALL people (gay, straight, undecided – it’s shouldn’t matter!), well – I just adore the man!

He was brave to go on the Howard Stern show in the first place, but to become the official announcer of? It’s wonderful! He lends such an air of culture, giving Robin Quivers someone on her level to converse with, and is such a self-aware man with a wicked sense of humor.

Here is an article on this lovely man and
here is his official site.
