Crystal Light Summer Series.

Maite had a bbq for us last night........
it was my idea.


There is something sinister about the look on her face here:


These mojitos went down a bit too easy:



I have hot friends:


Jerk chicken...coleslaw....rice and peas...damn! I forgot to take a photo of the shrimp skewers; they were beautiful:




This is what I look like when you have five mojitos:



Maite was giving away shoes again....Wait! I gave these to her a year ago! Oh yeah, they hurt my feet. They belong to Ching now:



Holy Annie!




Leah, Ching and moi. It is nearly impossible for me to not be sexy:

Goodluck! No looking at your neighbor's answers!

I hate the word "urban."

From the Urban Outfitters WTF section..........


Guaranteed this shirt will wrap around and bind the rest of your clothes in the washer....not to mention the tan lines. And the fact that it is brutally lame:



I sort of like this sweater but it makes my brain quietly whisper the word nipples.
Nipples with stuff bursting out of them:

Starcrunch.

On Saturday, Manale took me to his underground movie nerd club to see the classic Star Wars rip-off film Starcrash.

This ultra low budget masterpiece was made in 1978, a mere year after the worldwide success of Star Wars. It is basically a shameless copy produced with the intention of cashing in on the space opera phenomenon.

It stars a young, guyliner wearing David Hasselhoff:



And this asshole who admits near the end of the movie that he has the ability to see into the future but decided not to tell anyone. Uhhhhh....that would have been helpful.

"You would have tried to change the future, which is against the law. So therefore I can tell you nothing."


Here are their "droids" and "stormtroopers":


There was a lot of eyeball method acting:


The "Princess Leia" character was called Stella Star and there was nary a moment when she wasn't strapped into a leather bikini:




Her main-gay robot had a Texas accent for some reason:



How did Christopher Plummer get roped into this:


You can see the trailer here.
And a sample of the most powerful and riveting acting ever caught on film here.


Afterwards we went to the Drake Hotel (I was drunk enough!) and did some ridiculous dancing......




Is that a cell phone in your pocket or do you just have one oddly shaped breast?






May the power stay with you.



Marie Antoinette was polite 'till the end.......

Famous Last Words.

"Pardonnez-moi, monsieur. Je ne l'ai pas fait expres."

"Pardon me, sir. I did not do it on purpose."







- Marie Antoinette

Spoken to her executioner after stepping on his foot as she walked to the guillotine.

Ancient Unmentionables.

Aspicio!


Imagine being two thousand years away from the invention of mass-produced cotton panties and Wonderbras? How the Magnus Maximus did women cope?

Were there undergarments in Ancient Rome?

Well, women did wear a type of leather bra called a strophium under their togas. The strophium would tightly bind the chest, deemphasizing the breasts which was in back then. I need one of those...my ample chest is always getting in the way of stuff, Jupiter!

For underpants, they wore a simple, wrapped loincloth called a subligar or subligaculum, meaning “little binding underneath.”

The strophium/subligar set doubled as workout gear for women athletes as seen in these ancient Victoria's Secret ads:

Fourth Century Roman mosaics.

Piazza Armerina, Sicily.

Male laborers also wore the subligar when working, but upper-class men may have worn it only when exercising. That's right, high society dudes were "freeballing" or "going commando" if you will.

Here are some samples of Roman leather underwear:

Breathability was not an issue apparently.



Kinky devils!!!!

In the heat of the night walking into a dream......

Low in content calories!



Went to see bands play in a church courtyard near Queen Street last night...........




It was dreamy....I laid in the grass and almost fell asleep.....






I wore my usual white socks/shoes combo that causes old men to stare at my feet.
What is it about white socks that seems so....perverted?





I blame this:






There is a whole blog dedicated to girls wearing white socks.
NSFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I've always wanted to type that)



Question: What did Ancient Romans wear underneath their togas?
