"Goth Juice... the most powerful hairspray known to man. Made from the tears of Robert Smith."

So cats and kittens, in case you're one of those Americans who don't even give programming from other countries a chance (i.e. the legally blind, persons under age 11 and rednecks), allow me a few minutes to educate about this one gem of a show titled THE MIGHTY BOOSH.

Essentially, it covers the (mis)adventures of Howard Moon and Vince Noir, two misunderstood creative types who haven't one lick of sense between them. With friends like a pot-loving shaman (with his gorilla familiar), a magic carpet riding DJ, a pink head with tentacles that has a ridge not unlike a glans and rather disturbing man who constantly needs his fill of eels... 'hijinks ensue' is a phrase that would greatly understate every 28 minute episode.

Technically, the duo of Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding have been performing as the Boosh for over a decade now, but their award-winning show didn't premiere until '04 on BBC3. I don't know how to accurately describe this show without comparing it to other serials. Think Flight of the Conchords meets Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy meets Doctor Who meets The Venture Brothers meets No-Reaction Drama meets your last acid trip. Like that. Thanks to Adult Swim, the show finally has crossed over the pond! Sure, they're starting with Series 3 rather from the beginning, but newbies can get the jist of the characterization real quick.

Still not satisfied? Look up Mighty Boosh on you tube, ya doubting thomases!

The Most Expensive Cupcake EVER.

As I was watching Sex and the City for the third time this weekend (I KNOW, it's terrible!), I felt compelled to look up that cute cupcake purse that Charlotte's adopted daughter Lily carries to the wedding. It's made by Judith Leiber, and you can apparently rent it at Bag, Borrow or Steal,  a site that is also mentioned in the movie by Carrie's assistant in a reply to the question of how you can afford expensive purses while being unemployed in New York. Which I guess is pretty rad, since it's a rhinestone cupcakes that retails for, brace yourself, $4,295. Seriously. SERIOUSLY. 

Matte Nail Polish! What a Thought!

Not that I can afford to spend $22 on nail polish at the moment, but if I COULD, I would have to invest in Knock Out's Flatte Nail Polish. It's such a clever idea, I'm surprised I've never heard of it before. Knock Out Cosmetics is Mike Potter's line, a creative make-up artist that worked on Hedwig and the Angry Inch. 

The First Post

Aw, yes. The first post. This is a big moment for me. To think, just a mere twenty minutes ago, I created this baby, with the help of an html hex code cheat and an already formulated template. The idea, built upon the lost promises of unicorns, and the fact that Rex and I just can't seem to stay off the internet. We are here to bring you random points of mention, to help enlighten, uplift, and entertain. We figure, 'Hey! We do a pretty good job of pleasing ourselves! Why not share that gift?'! Hmm, hey, wait!
