Sanity is not statistical --Orwell

Socialism works great, until you run out of other people's money.

Capitalism works great, even if you run out of other people's money.

When was arrogance ever attractive?

Living on a Prayer

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike
Hes down on his luck...its tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - well give it a shot

Whooah, were half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and well make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer...

Karen Walker

Karen Walker has a great website design for her jewels line.

Her new collection is meh... but there are some looks from Angels that I like:
Plus, she was rockin' the sharp shoulders before Balmain. Here's Fall 07 look #13.

Did you know...

it would take 16 liters of ice water to cancel out the calories from 1 serving (56g of fat) of ice cream?

Denim Craze

Mike & Chris Gibson Jacket via Otte

Junya Watanabe jacket. I love the paneling and mixture of different washes.

I've been in love with these jeans for a long time, but this is the first time I've seen pictures with so much detail. Balmain.

Aren't these crazy? It's Meadham Kirchhoff . I love how Frankenstein the armour pieces look. And that zipper detail!

10 Promises to My Dog (2008)

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any permanent separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you buy me.
2. Do not break my spirit with harsh treatment. Your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.
3. Place your trust in me, it's crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as a punishment, you have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I have only you and I like being with you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand the tone of your voice when you are speaking to me, especially when you use friendly tones.
6. Be aware that I am normally a social animal, however I need to make positive associations at a young age to feel confident and well adjusted around other dogs and humans.
7. Remember that I was bred for activity, both mental and physical and I enjoy playing games, taking walks and an occasional good run.
8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something may be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I may need medical attention, or I may just be getting old. But keep in mind I respond very well to praise.
9. Take care of me when I get old; you, too, will grow old.
10. Remember that I only want to love and to please you, so treat me kindly.
