both have very varying prices.

Politics, and hotness

So, firstly pretty much nobody in the UK can get away from the fact that its polling day on Thursday (so soon). Although this isn't really a political blog, I felt I should definitely post this. It's by the director of the thick of it, and its how i've felt about the whole bigotgate thing all along.
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/armando-iannucci-the-duffy-affair-turned-the-media-into-a-pack--of-shrieking-gibbons-1961468.html
apologies that its not hyperlinked (now I know how to do it), the library computers won't let the box pop up and i'm trying to get all my tabs closed so I can get on with my essay.

Secondly, my sister's friend posted a link to pretty much the best blog ever. Its a blog of pictures of hot british men. I feel that I should make one of my own. I have a few ideas for themes: vintage hot guys, mens fashion, unknown hot people (such as the guy from horrible histories) but none on their own would be enough I think. Anywho.....link is here:

Italian films, petticoats and Iggy Pop songs


Stunning picture isn't it?

I did a tin eye of it (I originally found it in someones signature on TSR)and it turns out that its from an Italian film! Even better for me. It's called Malena and its set in WW2.
and its also really cheap on LoveFilm

I have also decided that in order to be respectible in some of my dresses that are just a bit too tight over the bust, and to be more vintage, that I need a petticoat. I found this nice cotton one from M and S.

Musically, I watched Glee: The power of Madonna this morning and it was AMAZING! very much the best one so far. After that I watched a programme about rock singers (because it had Matt B in it) and I found out that Iggy Pop wrote this song that I know from an advert but had no clue who it was by. The passenger has been in my head all day

I'm so proud I can now do hyperlinks in my blog *proud* you learn something new everyday

vintage and burlesque in other languages

So, Dita posted this:
http://twitpic.com/12ke9o
which gives her job title as "effeuilleuse", so I did research
effeuillage is striptease apparantly (or leaf removal lol)

burlesque seems to be the same in Italian and French

Italian seems to call striptease "spogliarello" which is masculine
vintage seems to be a word plagarised from english http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=321857

Ideas

Right, so i'm thinking of actually setting up a vintage blog. Properly. It would include a bit of burlesque as well
1. interview with darkteaser (and Claire?)
2. high street clothes
3. make up
4. internet finds (queens of vintage etc)
5. my own photos from the vintage shops in Leicester etc (or of me dressed up!)
6. inspriation: photos, films (atonement, swing kids, the notorious Betty Page etc) (diamonds are a girls best friend), film stars
7. vintage photos (film stars, normal people) Paloma Faith, Scarlett Johannson, Gwen Stefani
8. Music (the girl can't help it, brian seltzer orchestra etc)
9. Anything currently in my blog
10. burlesque: mr pearl, dita's tweets, etc

not in that order, obviously

Burlesque ideas

So, yesterday I was thinking of burlesque names, and last night I went to darkteasers Garter lounge. It was amazing and i've been inspired so I thought i'd jot down some ideas here before I forget them :D
name: Demeter Dangerous
music: the girl can't help it-little richard
the bad touch-bloodhound gang (for amusement, listening to it now I don't think it would work that well)

I'll update this post as I have ideas

Terry Prachet on euthanasia and alzheimers

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/feb/01/terry-pratchett-alzheimer-assisted-suicide

particularly interesting comments below:

Pollittprefectrecord:
This is right, of course, and no one who reads it is going to disagree. I have two points I would like to bring up, however. The first is the issue of when "the disease takes over." That must be a ghastly decision. As long as Mr Pratchett (or anyone else in his position) is able to say that the moment has arrived, he will inevitably wish for another day, another hour of life to enjoy all that is good. When he no longer enjoys those things, the ability to make the decision may have passed. Second, while I appreciate the good sense of the safeguards considered here, I would hate to see the situation become so bureaucratic that a sufferer faces the prospect of spending his or her last few months talking to lawyers and panels. This system would have to be set up to favour the patient at every turn and to speed the decision (not the death itself) as much as possible.


IsleofJesus:
This tribunal idea is great.

Apart from the ageism.

Being over or under 45 has no bearing on how wise you are. I know completely irrational older people, so irrational that they will fight your right to die, tooth and nail, in the face of overwhelming distress.

I'm 21 years short of the stipulated age for wisdom. So don't mind me, I'll go back to poking my friends on Facebook like an idiot.
