In an Alternate Reality

Once upon a time Sinead O'Connor released an album of jazz standards and show tunes. I'm not kidding! Every copy of the first single included a picture a murdered Guatemalan street child.

She may not have a man but she's got a fab timeshare.

Shelby Lynn doing a cover of Dusty Springfield's Anyone Who Had A Heart.

I know what you are thinking, an album entirely devoted to Dusty Springfield covers, how original! But in a year when all our usual divas have failed us, re: Madge and Kylie, maybe we should get back to basics.

How amazing is the house in this vid! I want her counter tops, and her sassy blond highlights.

The Homoerotic Sad

This clip from Nip Tuck, is both a hot shower scene and an social commentary on the conflict between our feelings of vanity and the inevitability of aging and mortality. It's called a midlife crisis dears, and it is happening to us at younger and younger ages.

In case you are wondering, Dr. Mike is played by Mario Lopez, who played A.C. Slater on Saved By the Bell. Some days, when you lest expect it, the early 90's come back with a vengeance like they were yesterday. I think I'll listen to some Alanis Morissette now.

Mode at the local Y.

That's right, after almost a year of physical inactivity Monsieur Mode as embarked on a radical program of self-improvement, and joined the local YMCA. I know what you all must be thinking; "Mode, you're a walking cliché!" However, with towel service, a 25 yard pool, both steam and dry saunas, and a, shall we say, colorful menagerie of staff and patrons I think I'm the one having the last laugh.
