No Samba please, we're Muslims!

Another fun activity cancelled by the forces of the Invisible Guy!

Tire, Lebanon (Reuters) - A protest by Muslim clerics torpedoed a Brazilian samba show in the Lebanese city of Tire on Thursday, local officials said.

A statement by the clerics condemned plans for the open-air display by a dance troupe that has been touring Lebanon.

"We support tourism but are against obscenity," said Sheikh Ali Yassin, who heads a group of clerics in the predominantly Shi'ite Muslim city.

The local council responded by cancelling the show after consulting politicians and security officials, officials said.

The troupe, including musicians and scantily clad dancers, performed in central Beirut's Martyrs' Square last week.

Is any wonder that the two most intolerant cultures in the world; the christian right United States and the Islamic fundamentalism are in war with each other?

"Sprite. Las cosas como son". Indeed!

A sexy "Venus" figurine is the oldest sculpted figure on record!

This little figure states the obvious!

LONDON (Reuters) - A sexually suggestive Venus figurine with oversized breasts and thighs dates back at least 35,000 years and shows ancient humans had sex on their minds, researchers said Wednesday.

The 60-millimetre-long figurine may be the oldest piece of its kind yet discovered and suggests Palaeolithic art was far more complex than many had thought, Nicholas Conard of Tubingen University in Germany wrote in the journal Nature.

Radiocarbon dating indicates the figure excavated from an archaeological dig in southern Germany, near the Danube valley, was at least 35,000 years old, the researchers said.

"The discovery predates the well-known Venuses from the Gravettian culture by at least 5,000 years and radically changes our views of the context and meaning of the earliest Palaeolithic art," Conard wrote.

"Before this discovery ... female imagery was entirely unknown."

The figurine's enlarged breasts, bloated belly and thighs also make clear that sexual symbolism was alive and well tens of thousand of years ago, Paul Mellars of the University of Cambridge, wrote in a commentary.

"The feature of the newly discovered figure that will undoubtedly command most attention is its explicitly, almost aggressively, sexual nature, focused on the sexual characteristics of the female form," he wrote.

"Whichever way one views these representations, it is clear that the sexually symbolic dimension in European (and indeed worldwide) art has a long ancestry in the evolution of our species."

Of course Humans have "Sex" on their minds! What do you think it takes to make 6 billion of us! Jeez!
I can imagine some cave dweller seeing the figure and saying..."Look at the rack on this thing! She looks like Oogla!"
Yup! Humanity have always been this crass.
And that's the way I like it!

Going where no corset has gone before!

Evening Arwen, an intimate apparel company, has launched a new line of corsets inspired by "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

Quoth their website...

This corset is designed after the Star Trek: Next Generation jumpsuits. The fabric was cut in the asymmetrical design and then pieced together.

Inside the corset is flatlined to coutil and lined with black cotton. The fashion fabric is also cotton.

The boning used is European Steel and they have been attached to the lining so you don't see the stitching on the fashion fabric. The black grommets are hammered through a lacing bone and the ribbon is black double sided satin.

Though a unique corset for sure and geared toward any of you SciFi fans out there, I hope all enjoy this inspired corset as it was a lot of fun to make!

A must for any junior officer who wants to impress it's captain, cosplayer who wants to portray the naughty side of "Star Trek" or wife/GF who wants to tear away their Geek husband/BF from their TV sets and compell them to go "where no man has gone before"

Mainly, to take out the trash!

If you feel that you must have this item, you can order it from here!

This is an item that Captain Archer, Kirk and Sisko would have approved!
Picard...well...Janeway...she's into Chakotay!

Bettie Page in a coma

1950's pinup model, Playboy bunny and cult figure Bettie Page is in the hospital in serious condition.

LOS ANGELES ˆ Bettie Page, a 1950s pinup known for her raven-haired bangs
and saucy come-hither looks, was hospitalized in intensive care after
suffering a heart attack, her agent said Friday.

"She's critically ill," Mark Roesler of CMG Worldwide told The Associated
Press.

He said the 85-year-old had the heart attack Tuesday and was hospitalized
Friday in the Los Angeles area.

A family friend, Todd Mueller, said Page was in a coma. When asked to
confirm, Roesler said, "I would not deny that," but he would not comment
further on her condition.

Page, a secretary turned model, is credited with helping set the stage for
the sexual revolution of the rebellious 1960s. She attracted national
attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure that were tacked
up on walls across the country.

Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling
Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.

Page later spent decades away from the public eye, and during that time
battled mental illness and became a born-again Christian.

After resurfacing in the 1990s, she occasionally granted interviews but
refused to allow her picture to be taken.

Mueller credits his business dealings with Page for bringing her out of
seclusion. He said he first met her in 1989 when he offered her "a bunch of
money" to show up at autograph signings.

"I probably sold 3,000 of her autographs, usually for $200 to $300," he
said. "Eleanor Roosevelt, we got $40-$50. ... Bettie Page outsells them
all."

Bettie Page was the inspiration for the character and love interest of Cliff Secord, the hero of "The Rocketeer"

Our thoughts are with her.
