Lady in the Water - 1947


Fabulous vintage photo. A model floating in the water at Weeki Wachee Spring, Florida. The image by fashion photographer Toni Frissell was published in Harper's Bazaar in December 1947. New photo for me, but it has been used evidently for book covers and album covers over the years.

Usher in Spring and Summer with Carerra Retro Looking Sunglasses

The prestigious sunglass brand Carrera; famous for their fashion and sporty eyewear, appear in Usher's latest single “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)”.  In the video, Usher wearing the 80's inspired "Endurance" style sunglasses by Carrerra, are 80's style retro with their recognizable drop shape.

Usher Raymond IV (his real name)  was born in Dallas, and has sold more than 40 million records worldwide since his first album “Usher” was  released in 1994.   He has won several Grammy Awards and performed duets with  Sean Combs, Beyonce and Will.I.Am, to name a few.  In addition, he has signed young, new talent 15 year old Justin Bieber.  Bieber started singing just three years ago. He was discovered on YouTube after posting videos from a local singing competition. Bieber's  big break came when he met Usher by chance. He auditioned and was offered a recording contract by Island Def Jam's L.A. Reid.  All signs are looking up and positive for Usher... perhaps Usher has the next Jesse McCartney on his hands.

With his song, “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)”, from his new CD, Usher is already outperforming American classics in the charts. “Raymond Vs. Raymond”, will be available on-line and in the best CD stores by March.

The music video “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)”, directed by Chris Robinson, shows the life of the R&B Singer, businessman and artist all in one, dedicating time to his brand, his music and his reversals. The video also shows the artist, considered as an American sex-symbol by the people, trying to preserve his private life and give his faithful girlfriend all the attention she needs.


Got to admit ... the sunglasses sure add style to his already fashionable sense : )

Cat-astrophic! Woman Creates and Sells Gothic Kittens


Do you believe this? Incredible.


This is absolutely pitiful. Where people get their ideas, I'll never know. But, it does make me mad to even look at this. The stupid little bars look way to heavy fort his kitten's ears.

You know how some people like to dress their pets up like children in cute little sweaters and tshirts; or put antlers on them and pretend they're reindeer during the holidays?

Well, Holly Crawford of Wilkes-Barre, PA found a stray cat last year and decided it would be cool to pierce its ears with barbells; and pierce its neck with a bar. Enter the "Goth Kitten." Then she got the bright idea to sell her animals online for hundreds of dollars a pop. The kittens came equipped with such fabulous features as pierced ears and submission rings implanted into the napes of their necks.  (And people bought them!)


PETA caught wind of her advertisements and sent word to Luzerne County animal rescue people. Her home was subsequently raided and she was charged with animal cruelty. PETA, calls Crawford's methods "barbaric." But Crawford says she took the same precautions with piercing that she would with a human. And since she's a dog groomer by trade, she had no intention of ever hurting the animals.

Some cats were pierced on the backs of their necks; which for cats, the nape of the neck is an especially sensitive area the mother cat will take in her teeth to get her kitten to submit to her -- not an area you'd want to puncture with a 14-gauge bar. I guess by "heal properly", she means she watched the piercing site for pus; because the emotional scars on these animals, which a vet says were "maimed and disfigured", will more than likely never go away.

Even if Crawford didn't intend to hurt the animals, she obviously didn't consider their well-being before going through with these procedures, or know much about a cat's nerves. Any piercer will tell you that correct placement of piercings in humans is essential -- same would go for any animal. And it's highly unlikely these kittens were begging for the needle, or even sat quietly while Crawford was driving a bar through their ears.

She's pleaded innocent and is expected discover her fate this week.
