She may not yet be a woman, but she does know more than you think! Check out Britney's Guide to Semiconductor Physics!



Last night's trivia competition at the Old Fitzroy in Woolloomooloo (good old Russell Crowe's second home) did not turn out as well as we hoped, with Scratch finishing 4th and our sister team finishing 5th. Too many music questions involving Abba! However, your's truly did win the individual competition for the second week running by guessing quotations by Mark Twain and Woody Allen!

Those of you who are aquainted with me know that I wear cowboy boots whenever I can, but Mr. Bean has tracked down a pair that I will most certainly never own.



These beauties were made in Texas (of course) to comemorate Justin Boot Company's 125th anniversery of making cowboy boots. They cost a mere $250,000 and are made with specially-tanned alligator skin, 20 ounces of gold, 50 ounces of silver, and over 500 hand-set stones that include 3.5 carats of diamonds and 8.5 carats of rubies.

Yes boys, if you have the dosh, this year you can watch the Lingerie Bowl during Superbowl halftime! While those of us in Australia will miss out, we have 24 hours of Fashion TV, where we can see real live images of models, such as my favourite Albanian, L. Liberta Spahiu! Plus, there's always Model Flat... Meow!!!



Just make sure you save the bathroom breaks for the hommes portions...



Not only does it make you feel inferior, there's a certain amount of fear in looking at another man's package (the reason Speedos should be outlawed).

And to get that thought out of our head, if you are looking for an excuse to look at lots of boobs, please head to Blogger Boobiethon.



Have a perv, but please note that these women are exposing themselves for charity, so please donate to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation!

Today Ms. M. has been kind enough to show her photos from her recent trip to Mauritius. She was not, however, comfortable showing bikini shots, for which reason I do not know. However, I did get to see a picture of the young man she was spending time with while on Holiday:



Not exactly what I expected, but I guess sometimes experience is important. Just ask Justin...



Tonight is trivia night, which I am looking forward too, but I don't know if I can handle going out four nights in a row. May have to stick to the bundy tonight and not attempt to drink beer.

Mr. Bean and I were watching my new favourite program, Extreme Makeover last night, and were frightened to discover that while making the Crime Scene Investigator look 15 years younger, they managed to make a quite attractive and very sweet young woman



look 15 years older.



Her poor little boy looked up at her and was all confused... I think he wanted to ask, "Hey skanky lady, where is my mommy!!!"

I had my first listen to The Darkness today, and can't decide if I can get over the whole "throwback" idea. I am not big on satirical music and I can't decide if they are good musically. However I have been obsessed with The Donnas for quite a few years (they sent me a badge and calendar in the mail the other day...) and they are a bit of a throwback themselves...



Will have to give the album several listenings before making a final decision.

This morning I suddenly blurted out the comment "Germans Love David Hasselhoff" having no idea why.



There was much discussion of his successful European singing career and the fact that he once worked with a talking car. I made one of the most frightening discovery of my life in tracking down this video, and wondered why Tarantino didn't use that version for his film. I was also able to track down a template for a lovely Hasselhoff paper airplane, which will come in very handy this Friday afternoon in the office. The amount of sites devoted to the Knight Rider is staggering, with some actually devoted to his worship, or his status as the Antichrist...



My first memories of the man come, disturbingly enough, as a somewhat blury memory of my mom calling him "sexy," especially in the way he portrayed hunky Dr. Snapper, on The Young and the Restless. Everytime I heard the familiar theme song, I knew that there would be oohs and ahhs over the man named after a whitefish (although as far as I know, he was not OBGYN).
