We’re off to Band Camp…

Friday, August 24th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Splotchy and Frank Simarco have been having fun plundering the 80s for camp videos.

They found some good ones (and in my opinion, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go is the gayest of them all – why were we surprised about George Michael?), but I think that these fabulous vids deserve a mention too:

Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire (the guy in the white outfit cracks me up and the whole setup screams YMCA)

Word Up by Cameo (two words: Cod. Piece.)

And the ultimate gay anthem, It’s Raining Men!

And here’s Geri Halliwell’s scary cover version:

Dirty Cows?

Dirty Cows

Is this the perfect reality-tv show? Appearing to be some kind of mashup of Joe Millionaire and The Farm, Dirty Cows features 10 city girls (they forgot me) competing in the countryside for the affections of Britain’s most eligible young farmer, Alexy Van Kimmenade. It’s going to get mucky!

Every time I see the advert I start to chuckle. I wish I could youtube it but I don’t have the equipment. Trust me, it’s funny.

The show is presented by former IT Girl, Tara Palmer Tomkinson, and it starts tomorrow evening on LivingTV.

Scary Scent!

Now I’m just waiting for Mariah Carey’s fragrance ad to come out. Apparently the perfume smells like marshmellows…

I’ll tell you why tomorrow.

Lunch with the lads

Monday, July 2nd, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Went back to that cafe for lunch. While I was tucking into some spicy chicken and rice a young Chinese woman entered the cafe to sell pirate DVDs.

Dirk called her over to his table (he was eating his own lunch) and browsed her wares. “Do you have any sexy ones?” he asked. She didn’t understand his question and looked at him quizzically. He asked her again a couple more times; eventually she understood and took out at least 50 porn DVDs.

He looked through the pile then asked her if any of the girls looked like me (while pointing at me)! Everyone in the cafe laughed, and I told him to shut up. He repeated the question a few more times, and I asked him if he wanted me to become a porn star! The silly twit just grinned at me. Then he haggled with the dealer to get 5 DVDs for £10 (instead of 3 for £10).

After she left we all somehow got onto the subject of Bruce Lee and ended up watching Enter the Dragon on the telly in the corner. I impressed the guys from the Thai restaurant next door with my knowledge of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Zhang Ziyi, Michelle Yeoh, and Tony Jaa. It was fun.

Then I went back to work.
