Rare Pink Hippo Leucism

- by in Happenings, Headline, Oddities

Check out the National Geographic gallery of this rare pink hippo. Apparently having leucism is actually a sort of technically more extreme form of being an albino model, but it tends to manifest as a more mild condition. Albinism means lacking melanin in the skin, while leucism means the skin produces less of all pigments. [...]

Katherine Dorsett at CNN reported today that the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve, in Bumfuck Dahlonega, Georgia, now features a zedonk. Preserve founder C.W. Wathen says he keeps his donkeys with his zebras because donkeys are extremely calm and they help the zebras chill and not run through fences. Apparently Sarah the Donkey does a little more [...]

Boardwalk Empire

Boardwalk Empire

- by in Popcorn

I’ve been watching a lot of TCM lately. In particular, the gangster movies from the 1930′s really resonate with me. In a way, the world is such a different place now, and, in a way, so many of the issues are so very current. Those movies took on themes of people with good work ethics [...]

Do you believe bad things happen via coincidence or the Devil?

If you’ve been paying attention to the pretty Flash designs floating around the site here, you probably know the Devil movie opens tonight. It is being marketed as being with M. Night Shyamalan’s touch. WGA credits him for the story, but lists a Brian Nelson as the screenwriter. Apparently, M. Night Shyamalan is producing a [...]

Would you want to wear banana shoes?

The usually more loquacious Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing posted this image of a banana shoe earlier today under the title “Just look at this awesome banana shoe.” The article read, “Just look at it.” The banana shoes are the creation of Israeli designer Kobi Levi. I’d like to tell you all that the years [...]

Does your car need eyelashes?

- by in Trappings

I’m a big fan of flamboyantly gigantic eyelashes. They can be a pain to put on and take off, but they really complete a dramatic makeup look. I love photographing them and I like to wear them from time to time. A downside of the really good fake eyelashes is that they tend to be [...]
