"German supermodel Heidi Klum, who gave birth to a daughter five weeks ago, was the audience's favourite in her purple corset at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York" - RAPatton

That is Heidi Klum. Interesting how that three million dollar bra goes largely unnoticed after all the hype they gave it. I don't follow this stuff that closely, but they seemed to do many variations on their wings, and I think the balloon stuff is new, but I could be wrong. Here is an article with a video from the same publication: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion... - RAPatton

"Stand aside Russell Crowe, Jonas Armstrong and any of the other pretenders to the ‘Men in Tights’ crown. Robin Hood and his merry men have got nothing on the forest of tights delights available for us girls this Christmas. Tattoos, tartan, flowers, spots and dots, lace, ribbons, crystals, beading, embroidery, graphics... there is no end to the prints and embellishment available to decorate your legs this season. Celebrities such as Fearne Cotton and the Geldof girls love lace. Jasmine Guinness, one of the Very designers, has been seen in glitter-red dots on black. Actress Diane Kruger is a fan of Balenciaga’s sheer black dots, straight from the Pairs catwalk. Wolford, has a similar style, 'Hot Dots', for £27, and a sequin version, 'Loella', at £64. Mytights.com's dotty tights are £19.99." - RAPatton

"In almost every way, David Headley was the perfect neighbour. When the 49-year-old American citizen began renting an apartment in Mumbai last year he charmed his landlord, treated his laundry boy with respect, and befriended Bollywood figures at a local gym. He told them that he was Jewish, and running an immigration agency from a respectable part of town. “Sweet and charming,” said his landlady. “Down to earth,” said his personal trainer. Not until the past few days did they learn of his alleged other identity — and of quite how close security figures claim India may have come to a repeat of the militant attacks on Mumbai a year ago next week. Apparently, Mr Headley’s original name was Daood Gilani. He was born in Pakistan, and is suspected of helping the terrorists who carried out last year’s Mumbai attack, and of planning another atrocity this year." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"The details emerged when the FBI arrested Mr Headley in his home city of Chicago on October 3, and filed an affidavit in a US court, which has since been made public. It alleges that he worked with Harkat ul-Jihad al-Islami (Huji), a Pakistan militant group, and Lashkar e-Taiba (LeT), the Pakistan group blamed for last year’s Mumbai attacks. The document also outlines claims that he... more... - RAPatton

"A year or so ago, I found myself at No 6 on a list of “improbable couples”. This happened because, on one of Andrew Marr’s first programmes, Brian Eno and I were doing the paper review. Towards the end of the programme, Brian and I, off camera, gave one another a hug. We simply had not seen one another for a long time. This so astounded Andrew that he announced it, the result being the “improbable” list and an obviously shocked compiler. The list surprised and slightly annoyed me because it had not occurred to me that anyone would find the fact that Eno and I were close friends as something bizarre. We have known one another for more than half our lives, and will probably continue knowing one another, to the bewilderment of a few, it seems. But it was this reaction that made me alive to the link between Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald; and Miles Davis and Juliette Greco, the subjects of my two latest works for the stage." - RAPatton

"Marilyn and Ella were both abused children, both left on their own at early ages, both driven, and both utterly reliant on their own vision, their own inner certainty. Marilyn desperately wanted to be seen as a woman with brains and wit — which she had in abundance. Beauty, she knew, was in the eye of the beholder and she was an expert manipulator of the eye, her creation of the... more... - RAPatton

"Ella, a workaholic and perfectionist like Marilyn, continued to tour right up until the end of her life. As Fitzgerald’s career rose after Mocambo, Marilyn’s began to decline, even as she made some of her most memorable films. Miles Davis walked away from Juliette Greco, who was arguably the love of his life, because, he stated, he “loved her too much”. The daemon is about truth, about... more... - RAPatton

We've done this same pep rally party for years; the highlights are when each kid runs through a banner with their name and the fumble drill where I am a human piñata they hit until I spill candy (we do it 3 times, and the kids love it) - RAPatton from iPhone

"Can there be such a thing as exuberant melancholy? I can’t think of another way to describe the spirit of “Broken Embraces,” Pedro Almodóvar’s latest film, the title of which carries a telling hint of paradox. It is grave and effervescent, tender and cruel. The story might seem simple at first — a film noir potboiler of jealousy and revenge — but as it unfolds, the narrative reveals an intricate and enigmatic structure, full of twists and reversals. The visual and aural textures are lush and sensual, as we’ve come to expect from Mr. Almodóvar, and yet the rich colors and deep sonorities somehow illuminate an unusually austere emotional terrain. Like “All About My Mother,” “Talk to Her,” “Bad Education” and “Volver” — not a bad decade’s work, by the way — “Broken Embraces” leaves the viewer in a contradictory state, a mixture of devastation and euphoria, amusement and dismay that deserves its own clinical designation." - RAPatton

Yeah, LA is privileged compared to a lot of places. I didn't realized SF was considered a 3rd tier city until a couple years after I moved here. Every time I visited my parents, I'd read the LA Times and see art shows that were coming here and movies that either weren't coming here or came here weeks after LA got the premiere. - Spidra Webster

"ealth officials say a Tamiflu-resistant strain of swine flu has spread between hospital patients. Five patients on a unit treating people with severe underlying health conditions at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff were infected. Three appear to have acquired the infection in hospital. They are thought to be the first confirmed cases of person-to-person transmission of a Tamiflu-resistant strain in the world." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

This was inevitable. Hopefully it stays confined to hospitals, and doesn't make it out into the community. - Victor Ganata

"As she switched on Bond Street's festive lights, Anna Friel looked like something you'd find prettily wrapped under the Christmas tree. The former Brookside actress dazzled London's most prestigious shopping address in a baby pink strapless gown with a giant bow on the back. Perhaps she'd been inspired by the Christmas lights themselves which were made up of a collection of illuminated bows festooning the street." - RAPatton

"The 33-year-old mother of one showed off her curves in the figure-hugging dress and completed her look with Forties-style make-up and glittery gold high heels. After hitting the button to turn on the lights, Anna was presented with a huge bouquet of flowers. Afterwards she dashed a few blocks away to The Theatre Royal Haymarket in time for curtain up at Breakfast At Tiffany's. She has... more... - RAPatton

"There’s a good something doing the rounds on the blogs at the moment, one that has a Friday kind of feeling to it. A number of blogs have been picking their Top 10/Top 20/Top 105 Vintage Sexist Adverts. I’m not sure ‘Top’ is the best way of describing them, but there’s such an astonishingly rich pool of material to pick from that I couldn’t resist making a quick Comment Central selection." - RAPatton
