Great moments in my history
Are those or are those not the coolest culottes ever? (That's rhetorical, FYI.)
Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression
They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him

That photo is a brilliant historical document. In addition to capturing the fashion of a bygone era, it also reminds us that zoos used to be a simple collection of animals in cages, surrounded by lots of concrete.
Forgive me...
Lu, "skort" is a newfangled word. Those are culottes.
And you're right, Bubs. That is the Como Zoo, in fact, one that has tried to transform into a "habitat" one, but it is based on the cement/cage principle so there's a limit to what you can do, you know?
That zoo was evil. Look at those poor animals, ready to tear each other to shreds out of sheer boredom and frustration.
I think the beast in the cage is wondering what those two warm morsels would taste like with some Penzy's chicken seasoning and stock.
