Two very different red carpet looks for some young actresses:
How much do I love this ombre dress? I think I want one for myself. Meredith Droeger aquits herself beautifully on the red carpet for the premieire of “Extraordinary Measures.”
Thirteen year old Bella Thorne from “Big Love” tries to mix it up with a bit of red. But I’m not sure I love the look as much as Meredith’s. I am digging her shoes, though.
Let’s get in the Tardis, or the souped-up DeLorean, or the Austin Powers Love Bug (your choice) and travel back in time to 1984, a simpler time. A time when future hunks roamed the earth in embroyonic, geeky form, interviewing 13-year-old teddy bear collectors at International Teddy Bear Conventions.
Ladies and/or gentlemen, I give you: Keanu Reeves, Boy Reporter.

We are experiencing technical difficulties on the ol’ TeenyManolo blog, but what we wanted to say was, GO HERE and sponsor me blogging 48 posts in 24 hours for charity.
Oh, my. Mymymymymy. I’m not sure if I should be proud or ashamed that I got 10/15 on this quiz; the mind, it boggleth. It boggleth like nevair before. And I’m not even going to mention the parent/child issues in Dan Savage’s column lately.
Nope, you stay classy, raincoaster.
If you think you can do better (or worse) than me at this picture-based (and SFW right up until the Answers page, but WHOA, not then) quiz, click here to take it at the Home Made Sex Toy site, a most fascinating place. I am particularly delighted by the revolving spice rack stuffed with dildos (hey, how would YOU organize that many?) and the tips for converting worn-out toys to useful household articles. Although the butt plug/wine cork conversion is not something I’ll be trying at home.
You Are Milk Chocolate |

You often think of the future, and you are always working toward your ideal life. Also nostalgic, you rarely forget a meaningful moment… even those from long ago. |
It’s been a rough, moist, muggy, overheated, overworked, sunburnt month around casa raincoaster, and when mine eyes lighted upon the following, as delightful to a grownup as a tea party is to a child, I knew that the BlogGod had granted my wishes and handed me A Really Easy Post.
Because who doesn’t luv them some chocolate, eh? Even Lord Vader
You are cordially invited to my chocolate party. Join me… or die. – http://bit.ly/1399jC
And look, just like everyone else in this hypermediagenic age, Lord Vader has party pix on Flickr:
Your lack of white chocolate is… disturbing.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a politician possessed of the usual heapin’-helpin’ of self-esteem and windbaggery must be in search of an audience. Unfortunately, some of them have discovered our little secret, teh blawgs, as an outlet therefor.
This. Does. Not. End. Well.
Allow me to introduce Edmonchuckistanian Member of the Legislative Assembly Doug Elniski here:
Elniski posted the text of a speech on June 13 that he said he gives to junior high school students at Grade 9 graduation ceremonies.
Part of the posting included advice to girls saying, “Ladies, always smile when you walk into a room, there is nothing a man wants less than a woman scowling because he thinks he is going to get s–t for something and has no idea what.”
It continues, “Men are attracted to smiles, so smile, don’t give me that ‘treated equal’ stuff. If you want Equal, it comes in little packages at Starbucks.”
Now he says he was lying; he never give that speech at all, it was a complete fabrication, everything in the blog was made up, and he stole the jokes. Thanks, we feel so much better about you now.
Huh: If this were in the Bible Belt, you’d think people would welcome it as good news!
Unfortunately, they are coming for your library privileges.
Seven year old Dominick Philip took part in a promotional photo session for the local newspaper, promoting the Nazareth Library, where he is known to be something of a regular. Sadly, it turns out that Dominick is an illegal alien intellect, hailing from nearby Tatamy, presumably home of wisdom-thieving Inkbacks who come over the county line in the dark of night, seeking to steal the 2 weeks of My Friend Flicka and The Hardy Boys which should rightfully belong only to those of Nazarene residency and status. When the heinous rights-theft was discovered, his library card was naturally revoked!
A library employee checked Dominick’s address after seeing his photo in the paper, then called and left a message on the family’s answering machine with the news, Melissa Philip says.
“As a parent, it just makes you upset,” she says, noting that it’s outrageous someone took time to research her son. “It’s a little over the top.”
