Of course it would be a maintenance wax. Those ladies can be pushy on the waxing. I have gotten manicures in cheap places on days when I know I have my facial hair under control and they still try to push the lip and chin.

(Seriously, I'm not really that hirsute. But my brows are already thin enough and they try to push the brow wax. I tell them I don't want to spend the first 15 minutes of every morning of my retirement gazing into a lighted magnifying mirror and drawing eyebrows on my face with a pencil, hoping they aren't crooked. They just stare at me when I say this and then go back to cluck-clucking over the state of my cuticles.)

Depends on what else it has. Right now, no -- the storage is too small for it to replace my iPod. In 12 months? Maybe.

Interesting. The stock tanked 3% simply because Jobs covered the company's current accomplishments and introduced iTV for the first 20 minutes (12:20-12:40) before announcing the iphone.

If Jobs gets options with a strike price set at 12:30 yesterday, I'll be suspicious.

So, I was channel-surfing last night, and my run through the HBOs/Showtimes/Starz numbers stopped abruptly when I saw Scarlett Johanssons's panty-covered ass.

I was reminded that, in addition to the eye-candy at the beginning, Lost in Translation really is a wonderfully sad and delightful movie. And that Scarlett really is a fine actress.

And I was left wondering how Sofia Coppola could go from writing this flick, and coaxing such a fine and restrained performance of middle aged angst and alienation from Bill Murray, to shooting Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette trying on Manolos while "I Want Candy" plays in the background.

Given where Sofia started, I think it was unrealistic to expect anything good from her to last.

"I luv you cuz."

I sure hope that woman wears panties under her dress when she gets a pedicure.

2. on Strange & Norell. I'll wait for you to preview the stories for me.

Was this really necessary? I fear you just opened the door for Penske Hillary photoshoppes.

On the plus side, when she is 80 she will be able to say, "These are my real eyebrows."

RICHMOND, Va. - An art teacher whose off-hours work as a so-called “butt-printing artist” became widely circulated among high school students has been fired.

In its decision, the board reasoned that students have a right to receive their education in an environment free from distractions and disruptions, Marlow said. The decision also is in keeping with court rulings that hold that teachers are expected to lead by example and be role models, she said.

Role Models. Right.

Murmer, a teacher at Monacan High School, was suspended in December after objections were raised about his private abstract artwork, much of which includes smearing his posterior and genitals with paint and pressing them against canvas.

His paintings sell for as much as $900 each on his Web site.

The unique approach to art became a topic when a clip showing Murmer, wearing a fake nose and glasses, a towel on his head and black thong, turned up on YouTube.com and became the talk of the high school.

Link, but you've already read the good parts.

Um. How did you hear about my butt-painting hobby? I've never posted about it here have I?

Sorry. I was going to post something about Coughlin hanging around NY for yet another year even though no one (except for ownership) wants him there.

But glad to have stumbled on your new and lucrative hobby.

Could one live off that? How many does he sell?

I would think girls who keep tidy would be the best waxing client. wouldn't they?
