I think Joseph Smith discovered some additional engraved golden tablets of the Kama Sutra. I think they depict how to achieve penetration through the Sacred Garments.

LESS IN SF: You are such a tool for reading the internet BB4 update sites to find out who won the veto and whether or not they used it. TOOL.

Maybe we could make a show in which straight girls teach lesbians how to dress. Problem is it wouldn't be endearing, it would be catty.

Are you saying that QESG is NOT catty?

In a different way. The endings generally are sweet, with the guys sitting around, hopeful and praising the guy they made over in whatever he is doing.

The engagement show was downright touching.

Carson especially is very catty, a lot towards the women I notice, but in the end, they genuinely seem to want to help the men. Other shows where they do this sort of makeover tend to be pretty nasty. And I think the reason this one is successful is because aside from the occasional cattyness it is pretty gentle, and they aren't really trying to change the guy. Just improve him a bit.

Agreed. Everyone teared up on that show. But it could be the same - going shopping, picking out clothes and makeup for the new hot chick that our "client" is hoping to impress. Girls bond that way. Hmm, well maybe not the makeup? But for sure the shopping - and a lot of drinking. It could be fun!

My biggest complaint involves the running.

But if shin splints are the problem, you probably are not wearing the right shoes for you.

Could be. It might be an interesting idea. Actually the gay men could help the lesbians. Every lesbian needs a gay man. I have several.

Sorry Charlie. Less filling.

Well at least my k.d lang boxed set (no pun intended) makes more sense now.

Breathtaking Britney Spears just about bares it all for the September issue of British Elle, wearing nothing but the shortest shorts imaginable, unless you also count the jewels in her pierced belly button.

Inside the pages, Britney's backside is revealed by photographer Mark Abrahams. Spears sports a little angel tattoo on her lower back and as beautiful as Britney looks in the spread, Elle admitted the photos were retouched. This not uncommon for magazine covers, what is uncommon is that the publication is not covering up that fact.

In the article, Britney showed she's still upset with how Justin Timberlake handled their break-up, from his interviews, to his "Cry Me a River" video, which featured a Britney look-alike. Spears said: "Freakin' horrible. You know what I mean? It was hard for me that he was so exploitative. Every interview that he did, he was talking about us in such an open way and I just felt, 'Is nothing sacred any more?'"

So on Britney's new CD, which is due out in October, don't expect any lyrics counter-attacking Justin. She said: "I'd never do that."

Another important element is that the guys in question WANT to be "improved," and as you know, many lesbians look the way they do not because they don't know how to dress better, but because they are explicitly rejecting larger societal notions of feminine attractiveness. They view their appearance (or lack of attention to such matters) as a sort of political statement.

I know I know, but really...Subarus? Wallets with chains? A mass of keys clipped to the pocket? If there is a fashion hell, sometimes I think I am in it.

And how in the good Lord above's name do you explain mullets? Political statement or not, there is no excuse for mullets. Thankfully, I don't see them too often any more.

I ask you is there anything wrong with wearing a pair of fuck me heels? I say no. A THOUSAND TIMES NO. And clearly most lesbians agree, at least when I wear them they seem to have no problem with it. Perhaps THEY are engaging in the very same sort of judging of feminine attractivenesss they so decry, oh yes, those sapphic hypocrites. HYPOCRITES I SAY!

A lot of that is where I live, I know. I really should just move.
