It’s more babytalk than Edward Albee, but still… She really gets under his skin doesn’t she?
 
Thanks, Khara Alii!

The return of the Corpse Flower

Us lucky Angelenos. Not only do we get free kid’s concerts by our favorite psych rock legends but we also have The Corpse Flower ! If you’re in the area in early June you too can witness, with multiple senses, The Titan Arum or “Corpse Flower” in rare bloom.

Native to the equatorial rain forests of Sumatra, the Amorphophallus titanum, or Titan Arum, can reach more than 6 feet in height when it blooms, opening to a diameter of 3–4 feet. But the plant is perhaps most famous—or infamous—for its exceptionally foul odor.  Hence the nickname, Corpse Flower. Contributing to the plant’s powerful fascination is the fact that blooms are extremely rare. To date, only about 50 flowerings have been recorded in the United States. The 1999 bloom at The Huntington was the first ever documented in California. In its natural environment, the “Corpse Flower” is pollinated by carrion beetles, sweat bees, and flesh flies. It attracts those insects by sending off a foul odor like rotting meat. The strong smell can travel long distances in the Titan Arum’s native tropical forests, ensuring that insects can pick up the scent in time to pollinate the flowers during their short bloom time.

When reality collapses in on itself: Sarah Palin strip-a-like contest.

“Less Taxation, More Stimulation.” Yeah… right. I found this by accident today, I swear it. And you can believe me when I tell you this, because the idea of seeing Sarah Palin (or someone who looks just like her) naked is not something I’d personally find very exciting. (In fact, I’m not sure I’d find a nude, ready, willing and waiting Sarah Palin sexually enticing even if I’d spent the previous two decades in a state penitentiary… Thankfully this is not a dilemma I am likely to face in this lifetime).

Two amusing things: One, they extended the invitation for Sarah Palin to be a celebrity judge, “although no response was received” (offer her $100k next time and she might show up) and two, the strip club where this event takes place in Chicago, the Admiral X Theater, is offering to donate the proceeds from selling their “We support the Tea Party” tee-shirts to the local chapter of Tea partiers. Will they accept these tainted funds? Let’s hope so!

The first of these delightful video clips of Brazilian jazz genius Hermeto Pascoal has been circulating wildly amongst music fans for a while now, and for good reason. It’s one of the most lovely and entertaining bits of musical performance you’re ever likely to see. The other clips are equally fun: Hermeto playing his beard (!) and various dental tools. What’s not to love about this guy? Not to mention his role on Miles Davis’ wicked Live-Evil LP. A true creative master !

Kevin Nguyen wonders what it would be like to chat up the women that define scandalous hipster chic:

“If you could have any kind of dog, what would you have? I think I would get a corgi. Corgis are my favorite.”

“Haha, yeah, corgis are the best!”

Imaginary conversations with American Apparel Models (Bygone Bureau)

Thank you, Jesse Merlin!

Following on from Elvin’s post about Biebians, below, I thought I’d post this cool tee-shirt image rendering the teen heartthrob ala the Misfits logo. (It’s pretty amazing to consider that Justin Bieber has only been on the scene such a short time, but his hairstyle has already become iconic!)

New Everything is Terrible spotlights what it takes to be a stuntman. Highlights: Choking yourself, taking punches, fighting like a guy but looking like a girl. Wait for the gang signs and the “pain and agony of being the hero.”
