i gave my niece the original godzilla- circa 1954, (now on DVD!) for xmas. i tried to explain to her how special it was- being the first of its kind in giant monster/ disaster flicks, but she remained unimpressed.
so i present to you- my jaded friends- the original GODZILLA!
i always found godzilla's roar somewhat erotic.

ANOTHER ONE IS STARTING TO BITE THE DUST
Abstinence-Only Programs Facing Extinction
and yet another obsolete program is on the verge of extinction... welcome 2010!
Proponents of sex education classes that focus on encouraging teenagers to remain virgins until marriage are hoping that the rescue plan for the nation's health-care system will also save their programs, which are facing extinction because of a cutoff of federal funding.
The health-care reform legislation pending in the Senate includes $50 million for programs that states could use to try to reduce pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease among adolescents by teaching to them to delay when they start having sex.
Under the federal budget signed by President Obama, such programs would no longer have funds targeted for them.
Critics of sex education programs focused on abstinence, however, are fighting to permanently end funding, saying there is clear evidence that the approach is unsuccessful.
"This is a last-ditch attempt by conservatives to resuscitate a program that has been proven to be ineffective," said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, a Washington-based advocacy group. "This is the failed abstinence-only model that research has shown is ineffective." READ MORE-

SANTA CLAUSE IS GONE
i didn't want to, but i have sold my santa!
antebellum gallery's santa clause is gone... santa is a 5 inch candle circa 1948. not only was the detailing perfect, but he held in his hand a red glass bulb! he was very special. although i know he has gone to a good collectors home, he will be sorely missed.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS
the best xmas scene from a film- the john waters classic- FEMALE TROUBLE, (1974). dawn davenport, (divine) doesn't get her cha-cha heels.
MERRY XMAS EVERYONE!
MERRY XMAS EVERYONE!
BLAST FROM THE PAST!~ TOTIE FIELDS
does anyone remember the comic genius of TOTIE FIELDS?
way ahead of her time, divine must have based his character of dawn davenport on little ol totie
Totie Fields (May 7, 1930 - August 2, 1978), was an American comedienne who was not afraid to poke fun at her own weight .
Fields was born Sophie Feldman in Hartford, Connecticut, United States, North America. She started singing in Boston clubs while still in high school, taking the stage name of Totie Fields. The name "Totie" was a childhood nickname.
Fields gained fame during the 1960s and 1970s. Ed Sullivan gave Fields her first big break when he booked her on his show after seeing her perform at the Copacabana in New York.
In 1972, Fields wrote a humorous diet book entitled I Think I'll Start on Monday: The Official 8 1/2 oz. Mashed Potato Diet
In April 1976, her left leg was amputated above the knee when surgery to remove a blood clot failed.
In June 1977, to the astonishment of her fans, Fields starred in the Home Box Office special series Standing Room Only, beginning her show seated in a wheelchair. As the audience welcomed her, she stood up, causing the cheering audience to stand with her. Said Fields: "I've waited all my life to say this... I weigh less than Elizabeth Taylor!" The Old Totie was back and the audience was put at ease; if Fields could laugh at her troubles, then it was all right to laugh with her.
In October 1977, Fields was diagnosed with breast cancer and her right breast was removed. Nevertheless, Fields continued to perform, incorporating her health problems into her act.
In 1978, during the last year of her life, Fields was voted "Entertainer of the Year" and "Female Comedy Star of the Year" by the American Guild of Variety Artists.
On 2 August 1978, Fields was scheduled to appear at the Sahara Hotel, when she suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism in her Las Vegas home.
She was buried in Las Vegas and later moved to the Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles to be buried next to her husband

WHICH ROAD WILL YOU TAKE?
along the superhighway we call life, which road will you take?
will you stay cautiously - middle of the road, or swerve to the left or right? as a detour or permanent path of choice?
