This Michael Jackson sleep mask is by far one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen. I love MJ’s music and all, but could you imagine waking up beside someone wearing this? ::Shivers::

Go See The Yard Dogs Road Show
I have adored the Yard Dogs Road Show since I first saw them performing in 2004 at a tattoo expo. The line up changes regularly, as do the songs, but whatever the band is playing, the show is always a swinging good time.
The live music played is a sort of old jazz seamlessly blended with rock and roll roots. The burlesque is sexy and classy and the lyrical jovialities are enchanting. Meanwhile, the sword-swallowing and other circus tricks are always a surprising and entertaining treat.
I recently saw the band again at a live show at The Casbah in San Diego. It was their first time playing in my hometown and I was happy to be amongst the audience encouraging them to visit America’s Finest City on a more regular basis.
While the small stage proved to be a bit problematic for the elaborate burlesque and circus dances, but they managed to work around these technical problems very well. The acoustics of the venue are constantly raved about and I was happy to actually understand the lyrics of the show for the first time of the four times I’ve seen them now.
The old standards I remember were there, including Tobias the Sword Swallower enjoying a chair leg and a florescent light. And there were also some new delights such as a merry-go-round burlesque dance (with stunning corseted costumes) and a David-Bowiesque performance by the blond guitar player.
But the highlight of the evening was probably the encore, which featured the burlesque dancers running around in bunny rabbit masks and holding up a cardboard rainbow and clouds as one of the gentlemen rambled on about nonsensical romantic dribble. The number was hilarious.
The one complaint I had about the performance was not their fault, but instead an issue I have with San Diego’s conservative moral police who have decided that pasties are too immodest for a burlesque show filled with people over 21. (The picture above is from their performance in 2006 at an Orange County yattoo expo). So, although the girls ordinarily strip almost bare and can do nipple-twirling teases that stimulate your eyes and your inner-feelings, we didn’t get to see this part of the act. Maybe next time.
Essentially, the entire point of this show review isn’t just to tell you how great the Yard Dogs Road Show is, but to actually drive you to follow the group on Facebook and check out the show if they ever stop by your neck of the woods.
CNN has reported that a number of people have been experiencing serious depression after viewing Avatar because they cannot live in the imaginary world seen on screen.
“Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” some loser named Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ “
Here’s a tip: if you are feeling this low after seeing Avatar, you probably should just kill yourself because your life is obviously an empty void to start with.

Star Wars Burlesque Show
Ever wish there was a hot chick inside of Jaba the Hut who would come out and do a strip tease for you? Probably not, but that doesn’t make the Star Wars burlesque night any less geektastically sexy, now does it? If you’re dying to see it, there’s an encore performance on March 13.
Courtney Love is threatening to sue Activision for including Kurt Cobain’s likeness in Guitar Hero 5. Her Twitter is filled with such articulate and sane things as, “YOU for dismissing me as a LOON, go f—ing play guitar hero commit necrophilai KNOW you are raping me and my family mother in law child.”
The funny part is that she not only signed off the rights to his likeness on the game, but also provided them pictures and videos of him for reference. She even helped pick out his wardrobe. In short, yes Courtney, we are “dissing you as a loon” and if we are indeed raping you and your “family mother in law child” whatever that is, it is only because you gave us all permission to do so -so enjoy your raping you crazy whore.

Spencer Pratt has told his wife they will get a divorce if she gets pregnant. Now there’s a great way to take on responsibility -just bolt. You tell that conniving bitch: no babies or no douchebag. Personally, if I was her, that alone would get me booking a trip to the sperm bank.
He did have one thing right, “I’m not sure the world wants a Spencer Pratt spawn,” he said. Now if only we could go back in time and make sure he was aborted we wouldn’t have to worry about the original.
You know I always bring you great Comic Con coverage and to that end, here is a huge gallery of costumes from this year’s convention.
The one on the left was a booth babe and the girls on the right were best friends ever taking on The Fifth Element.
Here’s Astro Boy’s stilted nemesis and two necromancers from The Venture Brothers.
There were more great steam punk outfits this year than ever before. And, there was also this one really great Rainbow Brite costume.
Boo had a great costume.
This girl was helping to promote the Girls Drawing Girls booth and her costume was just adorable.
Here were some pros. The girls had a bit of an attitude, but Catwoman and Batman were great.
I loved this girl’s outfit. As for the gentleman on the right…I don’t even know what to say.
Here were two great couple costumes. If only Luke wasn’t on the phone at the time.
These costumes were just plain cute. I love how the one on the left was actually inflated and as for Pikachu, I’m always a huge fan.
Uh oh, sexy princess time! Thank goodness Super Domo is here to protect us.
The Nixon costume was just perfect and the blurriness on the Scarecrow costume actually had me thinking I was falling under his trance for a second.
Dalek girl was very cute and clever. And you know what? I found Waldo with no trouble!
Sand people love boobs! (Then again, who doesn’t?)
If Wonder Woman wasn’t busy taking so many pictures, she may have been able to help this guy get the face sucker off, but alas, it was not meant to be.
Loved the Heroes booth girls -especially the fact that they gave away a car. As for the Sponge Bob girl, she was absolutely one of my favorites!
The Japanese super heroes were fantastic, but this bionic man was just scary.
Three, count them, three Princess Peaches! What luck!
Another great steam punk girl and on the right, Captain Morgan and Tits McGee.
Zombie attack…if only this guy got there in time.
I don’t know where this big yellow guy was from, but he was freaking adorable…so was the girl, but not in the same way at all.
Super group ahead!
Ravers were back this year, why, I don’t know. The woman on the right actually makes clothes for people and their matching Barbies! What luck!
Beatlejuice Beatlejuice Boobiejuice…wait.
Funny how the goth girls look like The Crow, without even trying.
This girl’s dress was made by grandma…how sweet.
One of these things is not like the other…

Terrible nineties videos
Man, the nineties was a bad era for music. For a reminder of just how bad, you might want to see this list of 10 awesomely terrible ninties one hit wonders. Some of these I had forgotten until now…of course, not Right Said Fred, I karaoked this band the night I met my true love. Ahh, romancing to “I’m too sexy,” it must be love right?

Lil’ Jon Likes To Wine
If you were wondering how Lil’ Jon went from being everywhere in the music world to practically invisible, you must have missed the story about his starting a winery. So did I. Apparently, it’s classy, “not some ghetto Boone’s Farm,” he said. In fact, it did actually wine an award in a recent competition.
Yes, the Little Jonathan Winery is apparently very fancy. He even talks differently when he’s referring to his winery. It may remind you of a certain other time he talked seriously:
I love this little photo set on Geeks Are Sexy. It’s adorable and really retells the story in an all new, furry way.
