Update(2/3): the folks at Vivid Blurry I link to below were forced to take the pictures off their site. There is still a single picture at The Gothamist link below.
Who was that the announcers were talking about just before the second half kickoff? And, would you like a close up of Janet and Justin?
Head over to Vivid Blurry*. Not work friendly.
Via The Gothamist where resides another NWF photo of J & J.
Update (2/2): Kevin Barkes wonders why Janet was wearing a Borg implant (NWF)? Via Vodka Pundit.

Not for my Sherriff

The opponent telling him to drop out looks right on:

A candidate for Denton County sheriff who posted faked pictures of “friends and supporters” on his campaign Web site has replaced them with pictures of animals.
The original series of pictures on John Dupree’s site showed people in various settings holding signs supporting the Republican candidate. They were taken from Web sites that offer generic photos of people holding up blank signs, Dupree said.
Dupree said his webmaster told him the fake pictures were being used as placeholders until they could be replaced with pictures of real supporters. The webmaster didn’t think to include a disclaimer, he said.

If this wasn’t just an ‘innocent’ mistake this guy doesn’t have the sense or the ethics to be anyone’s sheriff. And, his webmaster(s) should get a permanent note in their resume that they screwed up royally as well.

Stripper Chic

This entry was posted in Culture Marketing Sex on by

I guess it is possible to have some trends pass you by if you are not watching closely.
And I have apparently missed out on stripper chic:

Of course, for many girls who buy it, stripper-inspired fare isn’t actually about disrobing in public or even having sex but about cultivating what writer and sexpert Susie Bright calls “the essence of titillation,” a coy yet brazen, look-but-don’t-touch sexual persona.

I guess mostly because I haven’t done any of these things:

Teenagers of the new millennium have grown up watching college students give lap dances on MTV’s The Real World; they’ve listened to Christina Aguilera’s album Stripped; they’ve taken cardio strip class at the gym, perused the mall for thongs and flavored body glitter, played video games that feature strippers on their Xboxes and GameCubes, and watched endless music videos for which strip clubs and the denizens thereof provide the mise en sc�ne.

Alison Pollet and Page Hurwitz detail many aspects of the marketing of stripper chic goodies to teens and preteens.
