Well, denture teeth that is by Fantich&Young. I dig the bonus gold-toothed smile thing they’ve got going on.
But you have to sort of wonder if these puppies are loud as hell to walk on? They’d really do a number on hardwood floors, too.

No matter how you slice and dice it, even if you’re one of those non-believing, atheistic heathen lib’rul Democrat-types, you have to admit this is pretty funny.

Actresses today don’t have half as much fun as we did, Dame Sybil Thorndike tells her interviewer in this short news report from 1969.
Dame Sybil was starring in There Was An Old Woman at the Thorndike Theater in Leatherhead, sixty-five years after she had first appeared as the Green Fairy in a production in Cambridge of The Merry Wives of Windsor.
The reason Dame Sybil thought younger actresses were missing out on fun was because of television.
‘They have do television all the time, which is such a bore after the theater. Excuse me, but it is. After theater, to do television, which is that size compared to life. It’s tiny, much smaller than life. The theater’s bigger than life.’
Dame Sybil was a socialist, and an active member of the Labour Party. During the Second World War she was a pacifist, and raised money for the Peace Pledge Union by giving theatrical readings across the UK. Together with her husband, the actor Lewis Casson, she brought Shakespeare to workers’ groups and factories. George Bernard Shaw wrote Saint Joan for her, and her performance in the title role is still considered the best. Thorndike also appeared in Major Barbara, MacBeth, Uncla Vanya and the revival of Arsenic and Old Lace. She also famously worked with Laurence Olivier and Ralph Richardson at the Old Vic.

Hopefully the staff will be better trained next time on how to handle a kid who “shits the train.”
Quite possibly one of the funniest Facebook status updates I’ve ever read.

At first I didn’t see it or even notice, but upon further inspection…yep, it’s a penis blouse all right!
The penis blouse, or as the company selling it likes to call it “ASOS Blouse With Contrast Piping,” is retailing for $52.77.
And if you’re curious: Yes, I would wear the hell out of the penis blouse.

According to my husband, it’s pretty well-known that Nick Nolte used to be a male model in 1960s and early 1970s. I have to admit, I did not know this and had a hearty LOL at h.i.s. jeans, the “jeans that turn a dude into a stud” advertisement from 1972.
The image below is of Nick Nolte and Sigourney Weaver modeling for Clairol’s “Summer Blonde.” Apparently the pair were also featured on the packaging.

This is a delightful little interview with Terry-Thomas, that original screen cad, the gap-toothed bounder, the celluloid Dick Dastardly, who comes across as self-effacing, modest, and really rather sweet. Thomas was a hard-working comic actor, a very funny man, and spell-binding raconteur, who had a taste for the good things in life. However, his years of great success were cut short by Parkinson’s Disease, which cruelly robbed him of everything and left him “a crippled, crushed shadow.”
Thomas had already been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease when he gave this interview to Sue Lawley in 1973. He kept his illness a secret, until a year before his death, when a benefit concert was organized for him. Most touchingly, when Lawley asked whether he is rich, Thomas replied:
“I should say that I really am, because I’ve got all I want…I have a wife, two children - a boy of 9, a boy of 5. A jolly nice house in Ibiza, and a delightful little cottage here in London. I don’t want anymore. (pause) I’m sure I do, but I can’t think what it is at the present moment.”
The film clip is Vault of Horror, a rather good compendium horror film with 5 different tales of terror. Thomas starred as the obsessively neat Arthur Critchit, who marries the laid-back Eleanor, played by the wonderful Glynis Johns, to disastrous results.
Bonus - ‘Vault of Horror’, after the jump…
Your pretty face is going to hell…
Just in time for Halloween: UK company Funky Bunky is selling an Iggy Pop paper mask—made from heavy card stock and elastic band—for £3.20 (around $5.00).
If Iggy ain’t your thing, perhaps Limahl of Kajagoogoo would be better suited for your never-ending Halloween story…
