what's with the leg behind her? Who's is it?

Her dad.

I was thinking about getting this for my mom for Christmas....has anyone read it? I could use some insight.....my mom is SO HARD to buy a present for!!

 

A good writer and a nice lady. Big Red Sox fan too.

This dude's semi-estranged wife is the co-worker I had a dream about being in the shower with last week.

From Library Journal

Douglas (The Feminization of American Culture, 1978) here concentrates on Manhattan in the 1920s, with an emphasis on the Harlem Renaissance. More than just a portait of New York in the Jazz Age, this work is a social and intellectual history of the United States. It covers American literature, music, and architecture and discusses the influences of Freud, William James, and matriarchy on early 20th-century thought. Exhaustively researched, the narrative introduces a large cast of protagonists and features lots of anecdotes, plot summaries, and discussion of popular music. Douglas shows how the intellectual life of one city in one decade was such an important part of American cultural history. For informed lay readers and scholars generally.

Really, really good. Unfortunately, I left it at my sister's house in Albuquerque.

do you have to be 18 in the US? Tough break.

 

The Natalie Portman in Beautiful Girls thing above is just wrong though.

Age of consent is 17 in New York, less in other states.

It's Election Day! I have work to do!! All I have is this:

You guys know her film is coming out, right?

Jesus is magic@IMDB

Yeah, the indie theater near me is getting it.

Comedian Sarah Silverman. (Seconded, incidentally!)

She was funny in The Aristocrats , though Joe Franklin didn't get the joke.

Affirmative. I have always had a thing for nerd girls. Whenever I'm watching a show on some scientific topic on the Discovery Channel and a lady scientist comes on, it always makes me kind of tumescent.

Talent can be very sexy.

Can't say the same about that sweater, though.

It's my metaphor for the week. It'll get in my newspaper somewhere, I promise!

Veronica Lake. The fact that these threads seem to go off-topic is an indication that rock is still a male-dominated enterprise.

Can't wait for Elizabeth II!

...and you knew it was coming.....

 

now here's some old school hotness....

 

If you don't cut that out, someone may post pictures of Ron Jeremy in the RSBF thread. I wouldn't condone it, but it might happen.

A well-written, well-researched even-handed look at the people who now shape our Eraserhead-baby-like relationship with the rest of the world.

Joanna Newsom is the 3rd level half-elf magic-user/thief, right?

I think I need to check out Logan's Run....

Yes. An iconic mid-70s dystopian sci-fi epic.

Killing Yourself to Live : 85% of a True Story - Chuck Klosterman. I love this book - he disses punk rock and admits to buying all the Kiss albums three times.

Any book that uses a Sabbath song title as its title is at least worth a look, I suppose.
