shanmonster | I See Red People

I sure can't wait to have my lungs in working order again. I'm upset I haven't been able to do a proper kung fu class in a month or so. It's really pissing me off, but, until the asthma is at bay, I'm just going to have to deal.

snowy_kathryn tried putting bright red stripes in my hair today, but it didn't quite work. Instead, she has fuschia hands and I have a couple spots of bright red roots. It looks like she clawed a hole in my skull with her fingers. Ah well. I'll get f00dave to blacken my tresses soon.

And now for your regular dose of strange links:

Cooking With Cum: Ugh.

The Jones Soda Holiday Pack: "Introducing 5 new, flavor filled, tasty holiday sodas: Turkey & Gravy Soda, Cranberry Soda, Mashed Potato & Butter, Green Bean Casserole, Fruitcake Soda." Again, ugh. Except for the cranberry soda--that sounds good.

Yes this is O/T SOILED DIAPERS ARE NOT FOR SHIPPING!!!!: Some people use styrofoam peanuts for packing. Some people do not. Watch the drama of dirty diaper packing material unfold.

Vintage Looner Fetish Nudes: Balloon fetish photography has been around longer than I thought (warning: contains boobies).

The liberation of Nazi death camp, Bergen-Belsen: "An extract from the diary of Lieutenant Colonel Mervin Willett Gonin DSO who was among the first British soldiers to liberate Bergen-Belsen in 1945." Fascinating. I hadn't thought of lipstick having such redeeming properties (thanks, Rev. Dead Corpse).

Dolls of Hans Bellmer: Beautiful, stark, and very creepy. It reminds me quite a bit of Black Dahlia. "Hans Belmer made over a hundred photos of several dolls he with the assistance of his brother and his sister in-law made in the early 1930s in part as a protest against Germany's Nazi regime, and in part out of an expression of erotic feelings." You can find more of his artwork here.

LavAzza: "Italy's Favourite Coffee" has a new calendar out with photography by Thierry Le Gouès. It's reminiscent of Barbarella. See what I mean?
