This is the sexiest thing ever. I freaking LOVE it when I hear this kind of talk. I can't wait to buy the book!

'Denialism'
Author and journalist Michael Specter believes that public fear and skepticism of technological developments -- from vaccines to genetically modified foods to synthetic biology -- threaten to undermine scientific progress. He joins us in studio to discuss his new book, "Denialism."

Sometimes, I love seeing the "other" celeb photos. This one is from a blog where they LOL celebrities. But the thing that interests me is that we're seeing the downside of the "ideal" body issue. Madonna looks amazingly fit at her age, there's no denying it. But... is that how we want to look in reality? Without the flashy lights and makeup and photoshop? Is it worth the restriction of food and obsession with working out and blah, blah, blah? So, when I see something like this, I like to take a moment for it to sink in. I don't want to be unhappy in order to look a certain way. And the grass will always be greener... And I don't want to look like Iggy Pop, either.

| DV8 Physical Theater: 11/12-11/14
My FAVORITE contemporary dance company is coming; first time in 11 years!!!
I wrote a big paper about them in undergrad, and they greatly influenced my contemporary dance choreography.
I have never gotten to see them live and I am seriously considering seeing them more than once.
DV8 Physical Theater performs "To Be Straight With You" 11/12 - 11/14 YBCA in San Francisco!

DV8 website with a randomly looping set of video clips (Gorgeous)

Trailer for "To Be Straight With You"
Sunday 11/8 - DV8 Video Screening
"These are
not documentations of performances, they are original films developed
for the camera. Program includes Enter Achilles, a funny, cruel
exploration of the male psyche; and the stunning Dead Dreams of
Monochrome Men, loosely based on the story of serial killer Dennis
Nilsen. (1996 & 1989, 95 min total running time, digital video)" (My dancer friends have probably all heard me talk about this video; it's a huge inspiration for me.)
Thursday 11/12 - Opening Night of "To Be Straight With You"
Friday 11/13 - Talk with the Choreographer, Lloyd Newson
- Live performance of "To Be Straight With You"
Saturday 11/14 - Video Screening of DV8's "The Cost of Living"
- Live performance of "To Be Straight With You"
I hope you can come!!!!
I think I will go on Thursday, and
maybe try to see the talk on Friday... I would love to go on Saturday,
to see "the Cost of Living" video first... hmm...

| Damn; another idea I could've made a billion dollars off of... well; at
least now I can buy them!!!
SHOE WRAPS.
A small strap of cute fabric, with ribbon sewn to the ends. It wraps
around the underside of your shoe to "tie the outfit together"... but
also... it helps keep your heels on without them having to be tight.
BRILLIANT.

| This week I had the fabulous opportunity to go see Zombieland with film critic David Templeton.
Not only did we have a fabulous time at the movies, we also got to gnaw on raw fish afterwards & chat about our favorite parts.
The column is now on line at http://www.pacificsun.com/story.php?story_id=3419
The headline: Tripping the Dead Fantastic
David tells me that the print version comes with awesome pictures, too, so if you're in the North Bay of SF, pick up a hard copy!
"The print version of the paper includes a picture from Zombieland, a still from Dawn of the Dead (The Romero version, with the great caption: "Even George Romero didn't foresee Dawn of the Dead's influence on modern dance."), and a shot of you smiling beautifully as someone drips blood and guts on you (caption for that one: "We're guessing Amber Steele's dance rehearsals are pretty different from Martha Graham's.")."
Thanks, David! <3 | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| My friend Feather is freaking awesome. So's her husband. I realize that
I'm totally seeking out married people friends and more couple-friends
time. Feather gave me a pretty good explanation of the
couples-seeking-couples-for-frendship phenomenon. She explained it
somewhat like this:
'When you get married to someone who deserves you and who you deserve,
you're making a commitment to constantly be working on yourself. So you
can't really afford to have friends who don't incite healthy behavior.'
Mmmm... juicy to think upon. | | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment |

| My soon-to-be brother-in-law made a totally fun game for iPhone; it's
like Scrabble crossed with little alpha-blocks, and I looooove it.
Check it out online to support him, or you can add it to your iPhone
from the Applications store, too!

| Dear Lazyweb,
I have been approached by a German Publishing company to publish my thesis; no cost to me. I'd get 12% royalties, one free copy, and they publish per request, so no big risk to them.
But before I sign away the rights (if they don't publish, I can rescind after 5 years, and I can publish online & in pieces for journals if those requests come in). All I really want is a copy of my thesis, and an ISBN number to brag about on my resume.
But how do I know they're not just a scam?

| Yay for young talent! The fantastic Brittney-Jade Colangelo's awesome
blog,
Day of the Woman is featuring an interview with me about the Living
Dead Girlz.
Since her blog is all about stand-up women in the horror genre, we
talked a lot about being a role model to young women, which is my
favorite subject. We also covered pop-irony and I discovered my inner
Warhol. EW; I still feel dirty about that part!! | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So, I'm looking at Bridal Lingerie... which probably doesn't interest you normally, except... well... it's sometimes hysterically terrifying!
For example:
Virgin Bride Outfit (I know; ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rivetpepsquad, you wanna wear it; it's cute!):
Floor-length Veil... on a thong. A BUTT-Veil:
A Corset with a Cross - Don't forget to thank Jesus for consecration!:
 </a>
"I DO" Blindfold, with matching Pasties with Satin Pleats, Lace Wrist Cuffs with Pearl Strap:
For the Gentlemen; a Tux AND TAILS (what, no picture from the back??!):
