Looks like Paige may be perfect for Rob after all. She was arrested three time for DWI, before she turned 21.

From the Smoking Gun:

JUNE 19--We're beginning to understand why young Paige Jones, the doe-eyed gold digger from NBC's "For Love or Money," hasn't seemed upset by the drunken, grabby-handed antics of Rob Campos, the reality show's creepy bachelor. Turns out that the 21-year-old also knows what it's like to get plastered and act real stupid.

In February 2001, the Texas woman was arrested for driving while intoxicated, according to court records. After blowing through a toll booth on the Dallas North Tollway, Jones--who was driving a Honda with a flat tire--was pursued by a Texas state trooper. According to an arrest warrant, Jones's vehicle was seen weaving across the road and she would not pull over when the officer activated the cruiser's lights and siren. Only when the trooper pulled alongside her car did Jones finally stop. "I didn't see you," she told the arresting officer when asked why she did not stop.

The trooper noted that a bleary-eyed Jones smelled of booze and that her speech was slurred. Asked if she had been drinking, Jones answered candidly: "A whole lot." After staggering out of the Honda, she failed a series of field sobriety tests and later refused to undergo blood and Breathalyzer tests. Cops found a fake ID in her purse, which Jones, then 19, admitted using to "buy drinks at several bars."

In May 2001, Jones was arrested a second time, this time in Richardson, Texas for driving under the influence. She was also picked up for outstanding charges involving driving a vehicle with insufficient insurance and an expired inspection certificate. In July 2001, Jones was busted for the third time in five months. Cops in Ellis County, Texas nabbed her on a misdemeanor charge of driving while her license was suspended. Below you'll find the hat trick of mug shots Jones posed for in 2001, arranged in order of bust.

(Spree: More tonguesplitting. According to the article, one of the major drawbacks to having a forked tongue is that it makes it difficult to eat ice cream.)

Well, if the fact that I'd look like a snake-tongued freak and be a social pariah (at least among non-psychos) wouldn't stop me from doing this, *that* sure as hell would.

This reminds me that a few weeks ago I saw a man that I would guess to be in his late 50s with random tattoos covering his entire body, including three separate and unrelated facial tats and neck and scalp tats. He also had spacers in his ears and a round nose ring. Didn't notice whether his tongue was split.

I found it intriguing that he seemingly put no thought into developing a theme or even color scheme with his tats.

Aside from this dude, I don't usually see people over the age of about 35 with this kind of ornatmentation. Except, I suppose, the Prince Albert guy, who was also in his 50s. Still scarred by that.

My hairdresser just informed me that he is 40. He looks late 20's at the most. His arms are totally covered with tattoos, and he has a pierced tongue. Apparently he is a scratch golfer (told to me by someone who golfed with him). I guess he played since he was a little kid and that is why he is so good, but I cannot see him joining a stuffy golf club anytime soon (is there such a thing as a non-stuffy golf club).

I'm too scared I'd end up with regrets that would make me get either a painful laser removal or a half-assed correction like Johnny Depp's "Wino Forever." But aside from my personal wuss factor I've got nothing against 'em on anyone else.

The extreme body-modification stuff makes me woozy though.

Isn't Alice Cooper an avid golfer?

I bought this dress to wear to a wedding and I'm trying to determine how to accessorize. Despite the recommendation of the Ann Taylor web site, I'm not sure I like the look of dark sandals with this dress. Any thoughts or ideas?

I have a great beaded clutch bag which is white with light blue diagonal stripes.

I agree with the nude/silver sandal crowd, either one. You could also go with white strappy sandals, as well, which would work with that bag.

in terms of other accessories, consider:

16-18 inch (short) necklace (pearls?)

shawl with some pattern in it (flowers?) Or a cardigan in a pastel color would be pretty, too.

you could pin a silk flower at the waist where the dress ties shut. It would be very '30s/retro, but it could be cute. keep jewelry low-key and classic if you do this - pearl earrings/necklace should be about it.

sparkly bangle bracelets would be fun with the bare arms

long dangly/chandalier earrings (but not with a necklace)

Women, apparently, are not picky about their porn; hetero, lesbian, or gay, it's all good.

edited to note that I had no idea "the vagina becomes darker during arousal."

A bunch of fashion ideas that sound nice for other people but that I would never wear

I HATE silver and white shoes, although I have two pairs of silver sandals from two separate weddings I was in.

A friend has a very similar dress in a very similar color and she recently found periwinkel sandals with just a butterfly band across the toes at Macy's (on sale, she said, so probably not this season??)that would look cute with the dress. That's the type of shoe I would look for.

But then, I would never wear pearls or a cardigan either. Like the look on others, but I would look like I am pretending to be someone I am not if I were to wear such things.

I also think the risks related to second-hand smoke are vastly inflated. I don't see why ANYONE would mislead society into thinking that something exists when it doesn't...

Ooooh, ooooh, I know! Because you want to motivate the society to do something it otherwise wouldn't, like banning smoking in bars or invading Iraq, because it's an incremental step toward an undisclosed agenda that's distasteful, like banning smoking altogether or remaking the face of the Middle East?

Sorry, too obvious?

In my experience, that is very true.

The varieties of porn, not the vagina.

Yes, yes, but what happens to the sandals?

Alice Cooper was a 2 handicap, but now about a 6 or 7, which is about 18 strokes better than me. Another good golfer is Kenny G, surprisingly. And I often see lots of tattooed, blue collar duffers on the muni courses that would do very well against the members of a lot of private clubs. Being rich doesn't mean you can play very well--you just have more opportunity and access. My hero is Lee Trevino; that guy came from nowhere and with nothing, and competed at the highest levels. Plus, he's funny.

That's because most sex happens at night.
