I am away from home and have very slightly hurt my ankle. A friend has recommended an ankle specialist, which seems to me to be quite an unusual thing in which to specialise.
"And what do you know about?" a conversation might begin.
"Ankles," you'd have to say.
I'm not sure where the conversation really goes from there. At least if you specialise in heads, you can move on to shoulders, knees and toes.
There are a few of us sitting here in reception, awaiting an audience with the ankle king. There's a picture of him on the wall, smiling and laying a reassuring hand over a rubber ankle.
Suddenly, there is movement.
A door to one side opens and out walks the ankle doctor, guiding a man out of his office.
"Well, I'm just so delighted that you're feeling so good!" he says, loudly and cheerfully, and the relief in the room is palpable.
He's cured that man! Cured him! They must've been carefully working on those ankles for ages and at last all's come good!
"Really great!" he says, again, and he shakes the man's hand and beams out at the room, like he's a celebrity having his picture taken with a competition winner for the local paper.
"Pamela will take care of you now," he tells the man, who sidles out of the room to pay, already feeling around in his pocket for his wallet.
Happy, excited, the rest of us each get ready to stand, and then I suppose we all remember that our ankles hurt a bit and we stay sitting down.
"Mr Morrison?" says the ankle doctor.
Mr Morrison is so lucky! He is the chosen one! He gets up and slowly follows the ankle doctor into his small room.
When the door has closed, I sniff and look around at the other people here. Usually, in a sort of doctor's surgery, you'd try to guess what was wrong with all the other people.
"Mainly ankles," I think to myself, robbed of that game.
I pick up the Reader's Digest and read a very interesting story about Su Pollard being bothered by an amorous horse.
"OK!" says the doctor, 10 minutes later, walking back into the room. "Wonderful!"
What's wonderful?
And then Mr Morrison appears.
"I'm delighted to see you making such good progress!" says the doctor, the life and soul of the party, positively beaming.
Oh, this guy is good!
"Pamela will take care of you now," he says, pointing Mr Morrison the way to the payment counter. Well, my friend was right to recommend him. And if I'm next…
"So… Mr Wallace?"
I am! I raise my hand then follow him into his magical ankle booth.
I don't limp or hobble because it's not that bad, and I walk into what turns out to be quite a standard office. I don't know what I'd been expecting. A stall selling ankle bracelets, maybe. Sometimes doctors have pictures up of little cartoon medical characters for kids, don't they? But not here. I don't think it would hurt anyone to invent Frankle The Ankle.
"Sit down," says the doctor, not looking at me, now a little gruff. Hey – what gives? Where's that fun guy gone? "Your ankle?"
I let him see my ankle and he looks at it a bit and then moves it round. He decides I might need to rest my ankle. I feel like I've let him down. No wonder he's all grumpy with me. I feel like an abused partner, blaming myself for his moods. It must be my fault.
But as we get back to the waiting room, his entire demeanour changes.
"Well, I am so pleased we are getting you back on your feet!" he says, and I'm delighted that friendly guy is back. He's smiling broadly, like we've been working on this project together for years and that finally it's…
Hang on! Just like Mr Morrison and the other fella!
"Really good," he says, shaking my hand with great warmth, and what am I supposed to say in reply? So I just smile and say "Thank you" and then look at the people in the waiting room. Which is when I realise… this is all for show! This is propaganda! He's like one of those faith healers or mad pastors, pretending he's healed me to convince the flock! This is like a cult! An ankle cult! An… ank-ult.
"Pamela will look after you now," he says, pointing me towards the woman I'm going to have to pay £75 to just to be told I need to rest my ankle! Surely if I need to rest my ankle, he should be walking over to Pamela!
But he's already moved on to the next member of the congregation.
"Mr Roberts?"
I feel used. I'm just a couple of ankles to that guy. A couple of ankles carrying a wallet around.
So I make a big show of hobbling out the room and grimacing a lot.
Only one man spots this. But it is worth it.
There's somebody unexpected at the door
Andy Midwinter heard a knock at the door the other day, and was very surprised indeed to see that some of his new bathroom had arrived early.
Just let that sink in.
The robots are coming to take over the world
Joey Izzy was wandering around France and became increasingly paranoid that he was being followed.
And then he saw this robot pop out of the ground next to a church.
I've just realised this week's photos look exactly the same.

Synomymous with Engineering and Technology, Germany is one of the best places in the world to pursue a B.tech Degree. The following post takes a quick look at engineering education in Germany with a focus on intertnational students.
Pursuing Engineering from Germany
German technologyis well-known throughout the world. Automobiles, electric and electronic systems are some segments where we get to see wonders of German technology. Naturally, the study of technology and engineering in Germanyis also the best. It is the largest exporter of industrial equipment and machinery of the finest quality.
Engineering skills have been long nurtured and developed in highly acclaimed universities imparting bachelor and master degree in engineering and technology. This is one of the major reasons why students from other countries aspire to pursue B. Tech from a German university.
The quality of education provided by the technical universities of Germany is impeccable. There are many colleges which offer B. Tech degree followed by placement assistance. The automobile, electrical and mechanical industries in Germany acquire talents from these reputed institutes. Placements in these industries open many doors of a bright future for the students. Needless to say that pay packages are quite high.
International Students – How to Apply and Requirements
International students who wish to study in Germany have to take a one year bridge program which is a substitute for 13 years of school education in Germany. An assessment exam held by German technical universities also needs to be cleared after the completion of bridge program; however, Indian students who have cleared IIT JEE exams are exempted from appearing in the assessment exam. Those who have already completed 2 years of Bachelor degree in engineering and technology are also exempted from the assessment exam. Basic knowledge of German language is,however, mandatory for all.
Many courses in Germany grant admission to the students on the basis of the performance in the assessment tests and previous academic records; however, there are few colleges that ask forGRE scores. Student visa is compulsory for international studets. Student visa is initially granted for 3 months and extended after approval of concerned authorities in Germany. The student Visa is issued after the genuineness of the student is verified and it is made clear that the student will abide by the conditions that are laid down by the authorities and will depart from the country after the completion of the course. The visa approval officer also has to verify that the German language skills of the students are good enough. Many colleges of Engineering also require TOEFL or IELTS scores.
Top German Technical Universities
Some universities that offer B. Tech Programmes in a wide range of streams are:
- RWTH Aachen: The largest technical university in Germany, RWTH Aachen is located in the same city. RWTH currently has 4000 students pursuing B.Tech in 130 various programmes.
- Technical University Berlin: Technical university of Berlin is a reputed research institute. It was established in the year 1770 and offers B. Tech course in various streams.
- Technical UniversityBraunschweig: The Braunschweig University of Technology was founded in 1745 and is the oldest technical university in Germany. There are approximately 15000 students enrolled in the university.
- Technical University Darmstadt:Fouded in 1877, the Technical University Darmstadt is one of the top-ranking technical universities in Germany. Boasting of a student population of 25000, the institute offers bachelor programmes in major discilines of engineering along with bachelor of science in Chemistry and Biology as well. The institute also offers doctoral programmes.
- Technical University Dresden: Dresden University of Technology is the largest higher education institute in the city of Dresden and also one of the ten largest universities of Germany. The university was founded in 1828 and the number of students enrolled is around 37000. Needless to say that the university is one of the best for pursuing technical/engineering studies in Germany. However, this university also offers courses in Humanities and Social Sciences, and Medicine as well.
Germnay and engineering are synonymous. Well known throughout the globe for its technical expertise, the there are ample opportunities for international students.Getting placed after college might not be extremely difficult, but one requires proper work permit. While, learning German language might be a little challenging for outsiders, nonetheless once adaptive towards it, pursuing B.Tech from a German technological university is one of the best decisions.

3Kelly Rutherford Isn't Getting Her Kids
Kelly Rutherford has been going through some tough times, and it's only getting worse. She had to get a restraining order from her ex-husband after a brutal divorce, and then she had to file for bankruptcy. And now, worst of all, she's not getting custody of her kids. From People:
A judge has ruled that though Rutherford and her ex-husband, Daniel Giersch, technically have joint custody, their children – son Hermes, 7, and daughter, Helena, 4½ – will continue to reside in Monaco, where he lives, according to court papers obtained by PEOPLE.
The former Gossip Girl star, 45, plans to appeal the judge's decision.
"It strikes me as outrageous and unconstitutional that children can be effectively deported in order to accommodate their exiled father without knowing why he can't come back in and he has not been required to make any efforts to try to get back to the U.S. by the U.S. courts," she tells PEOPLE.
Yeah, it's kind of messed-up, to say the least. I can't imagine how she's feeling. She's had more drama in her real life than she had while she was on Gossip Girl.
I hate when parents use their kids as pawns in their adult battles. Why? Why do people do that?

3 Responses to "Kelly Rutherford Isn't Getting Her Kids"
I think that the kids are being victimized in this as much as Kelly. Wasn't she the one who wanted him barred from re-entering the US, or was involved in his problems with the US government? This woman has lost everything, she's been brought to financial ruin fighting for the right to have access to her children. I can't believe a judge worth their salt would take a loving parent, who poses no danger to the children, would effectively prevent her from having contact or a relationship with them. If he chooses to live in Monaco and she doesn't have the financial means to visit them there (which is the arrangement), he ought to pay the children's travel expense to allow them visitation with her stateside; especially since he probably pays no sort of spousal support and certainly no child support. It should be the price HE pays for residing in a country of his choice. The whole thing smacks of impropriety.
This is idiot aruicle since all this is her own fault..
She nasty loser and her own personal history really shows it..
Why should he pay childsupport when the kids live with him? I dont see why he should pay for the trips back to the states either. Its always easy just to assume, that the judge made a biased descision. Maybe, just maybe the judge had his reasons? I certainly dont know enough about this case or about american custody law.

People have always asked me why I like Cemetries so much. I'm not morbid or a grave digger as I've been accused (Some people really are crazy); I just simply love the history behind them.
For example, the three pictures I have attached above are from a cemetry in St. Andrews, New Brunswick - where I lived last year.
St. Andrews is a town FULL of history, and honestly I probably only know about 50% of it, even though I spent 5 months there. The gravestones date all the way back to 1832. That's 180 years old. How is that NOT fascinating? These people had a place in shaping our history.
I don't know about you, but I really do find them fascinating. Especially ones with rich history like this.

Mount Carmel Clinic
Spirit of Giving
Founded 84 years ago to support the North End's poor Jewish immigrant community, Mount Carmel is now a key health and social support resource for low-income Winnipeggers. It features primary health care, social work, a 40-space daycare and other programs.
Mount Carmel's Anne Ross Day Nursery is a blessing for inner-city parents, with its subsidized spots, hot lunch program and commitment to early education.
But the daycare's building, situated just north of the clinic's main complex, isn't so endearing.
"The facility is really showing the wear and tear of day in and day out," said Glenda Birney-Evans, executive director of the Mount Carmel Clinic Foundation.
"It wasn't really designed to current standards... It's not accessible, and there have been handicapped children in the program."
To help bring some cheer to the daycare's kids and attract more child-care workers, Mount Carmel wants to fix the aging facility.
A big renovation is planned, including an upgraded playground, bright new exterior and interior, and wheelchair-accessible grounds.
Mount Carmel is largely funded by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, with the province kicking in for child-care costs.
But its non-profit budget doesn't leave much wiggle-room for big capital projects.
To raise the $850,000 needed for everything on the daycare's "wish list," such as a special reading room and a stroller drop-off, Mount Carmel relies on its foundation.
Birney-Evans hopes Winnipeggers will take the daycare's fundraising to the finish line this holiday season: Another $75,000 in donations will mean enough cash in the kitty to start construction in April.
"Right now, we just want to get that daycare renovated, and get those kids in a good environment," she said.
"If you can help them get a good start, it can change their future."
Donations, including money or gently used sneakers, winter boots and other family footwear for families in need can be made online (www.mountcarmel.ca) or in person at 886 Main St.
You can also buy the clinic's fundraising children's book Monty's Alphabet Adventure for $9.95 at McNally Robinson or Chapters.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Lionel Messi scored twice, passing Alfredo Di Stefano on the La Liga career scoring list and tying Raul Gonzalez for third as he led Barcelona over Rayo Vallecano 6-0 on Saturday night.
Messi's 228 league goals are one more than di Stefano, and the 26-year-old trails only Telmo Zarra (251) and Hugo Sanchez (234) on the career list. His sixth two-goal game this season raised his goals total to 24, including 13 in the league.
Adriano put Barcelona ahead in the second minute, Messi scored on a chip in the 36th and assisted Alexis Sanchez's goal in the 53rd. Pedro Rodriguez scored three minutes later and Messi got his second goal in the 68th. Neymar entered in the 62nd in his first appearance since an ankle injury on Jan. 12 and scored in the 89th.
Barcelona (19-2-3) leads the league on goal difference over Atletico Madrid (19-2-3), which ended a three-game losing streak with a 3-0 home win over Valladolid. Raul Garcia scored and set up Diego Costa's 21st league goal of the season. Real Madrid (18-2-3) plays at Getafe on Sunday.
MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-0 Saturday on goals by Stevan Jovetic and Samir Nasri to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals and keep alive its chance to win four titles this season.
Jovetic scored in the 16th minute and Samir Nasri in the 67th as he returned from a left knee injury sustained Jan. 12.
Sunderland also advanced, beating Southampton 1-0 on Craig Gardner's 39th-minute goal as the Black Cats rested American forward Jozy Altidore and many regulars.
Defending champion Wigan won 2-1 at Cardiff. Ben Watson, whose goal won the cup before the team was relegated from the Premier League last May, scored the decisive goal at south Wales.
BERLIN (AP) -- Bayern Munich (19-0-2) opened a 16-point Bundesliga lead with a 4-0 win over Freiburg that extended its record league unbeaten streak to 46 games.
Dante scored on a header in the 19th minute, Xherdan Shaqiri added goals on deflected shots in the 34th and 42nd and Claudio Pizarro got the final goal in the 88th.
Second-place Bayer Leverkusen (14-6-1) lost 2-1 to Schalke, and Hamburg's league losing streak reached seven with a 4-2 defeat at last-place Eintracht Braunschweig.
Hoffenheim defeated Stuttgart as American Fabian Johnson played for the first time since breaking his right hand on Jan. 25. Johnson went the entire match at right back.
PARIS (AP) -- James Rodriguez showed Monaco can cope without injured forward Radamel Falcao, scoring in the 45th and 76th minutes of a 2-0 victory at Bastia,
Falcao is sidelined following surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and new Monaco signing Dimitar Berbatov missed te match because of a minor knee injury.
Second-place Monaco (15-2-8) is five points behind Paris Saint-Germain (17-1-7).

Campus Housing:
It is great to live on campus!
Campus Housing:
It's really easy and fun and convenient
Campus Housing:
I have no genuine rating for the campus housing because I commute. From what I've heard, it can be very competitive to grab housing in the campus apartments, but because UTD is a growing campus, there is ongoing expansion to further the living quarters.
Campus Housing:
The dorms have VERY thin wall, and depending on your room mates, this could be a good or bad. The social atmosphere was great though, there are plenty of places to study and meet up with your friends. Cost is a little high, but the process is super easy.
Campus Housing:
I live in the on-campus apartments available for upper class-men. They are pretty good (nothing too fancy). The value is pretty good, but I know for a fact if I combine what my roommate and I pay for rent we could find a nicer two bedroom apartment that's way more spacious. I lucked out an got a really good roommate. I remember filling out a housing application and answering some questions about my personality. Quite frankly, I don't think the leasing office looks at that much. They pretty much offer you a space on a first come first serve basis and you either take it or leave it. Its pretty much a game of chance if you leave the matching up to them. The good news is that if you already know who you want to be your roommate(s) then you can list them on your application and they will put you guys together! So it all depends.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Tue Tran
Bad news first: On-campus housing is hard to get. Originally, UT Dallas was a pure graduate institution, whose students largely commuted to school, so demand for dorms was low. In recent years, the University has built two freshman dorms and many upperclassman apartments, but that still falls far short of the sudden surge in the undergraduate student population. Two more freshman dorms are in construction, but they can't help with the shortage of housing for juniors and seniors, who lie at the bottom of the priority ladder. Roommate placement is also a big problem—don't expect the housing staff to read your preferences, unless you specifically name someone as your future roomie.
The good news is that on-campus housing is of great quality. Dorms and apartments are new—the freshman ones are brand-new—so they all feel clean and fresh, at least when you first move in. Each residential area has its own study lounge, entertainment lobby or clubhouse, and sports courts for students to hang out and socialize. It's hard to find parties on campus, but if you prefer a calm and healthy environment, it's a big plus. Privacy and spaciousness arguably constitute the best part of dorm life. Students can choose the shared bedroom option, but private bedrooms with locks and keys are the norm, and you will only share your bathroom with another guy/girl. Unless you live in Phase 8A (called "Canada" by students), it's a reasonable walking distance to classes, bus stops, and parking lots. Rent is a high $600-plus for freshmen, but it gets lower after that first year. Getting a scholarship or financial aid can greatly reduce the living costs, too.

Aloe Blacc - Femme Fatale
Artist: Aloe Blacc
Producer: Truth+Soul
Album: Good Things
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 6 total votes )
Time to separate the true hipsters from the poseurs. Can you name the group who wrote the classic cut Aloe Blacc covers on his second solo feature, and the album it originally appeared on? If you answered "The Velvet Underground, and their 1967 debut LP, The Velvet Underground & Nico," give yourself a pat on the back. If not, put down the skinny jeans and back away slowly. This makeover of the bittersweet Femme Fatale finds producer Truth+Soul trading the Velvets' minimal instrumentation for a lusher live-band beat (in 6/8 time!) as the Los Angeles native describes a chick with a habit of building men up just to knock 'em down. Blacc's emotionally cathartic, multilayered delivery of the iconic cut's rueful lyrics, along with the old-school soul instrumental add up to an undeniably inspired take on the original. The Left Coast hopeful's forthcoming full-length has yet to receive a solid release date from the folks at Stone's Throw, but Good Things come(s) to those who wait – in the meantime, why not check out this newly-released video clip, in which Blacc shares the story behind the Booth-acclaimed I Need a Dollar with our friends at Rubyhornet.com?

Product Reviews Add your own review
I have been buying these filters for my 2 Honeywell humidifiers for 6 years. Until last year I struggled to find them...until I discovered your website. You make it easy and more cost effective to purchase several filters at a time.
Thanks for having such an easy to use site,
Ed Halsted
Your service is super. I could not believe how quickly the filters were delivered. I cannot locate them locally anymore as my humidifier is getting older. Thanks much.
Gaye Antle
It is easy to order the filters on the website...thanks for making it easy for your consumers.
These filters are wonderful -- they last several months and do a great job of filtering the moisture from my humidifier. I so appreciate being able to order them from your website as I cannot find them in stores. Thank you!
Excellent quality, recommended by the manufacturer of our humidifier and promptly delivered after we ordered them! We were very pleased!
My humidifier works fine, but it is so old that replacement filters are no longer sold by any retail store near me --- so I'm very thankful that I can still purchasethe filters via KAZ web site.
I've been using these filters for many, many years. They always seem to do a great job. I clean them when I feel it's time, and they look almost as good as new. I would recommend the Kaz filters to anyone who wants a product that does the job. Thank you.
Diane Seavey
It is always a pleasure to know I can find these filters for a humidifier I bought years ago. Service/shipping is always quick! Thank you, Kaz!
Items arrived in perfect condition well before I needed them.
I have looking all over for these filters and I finally found them .Great product.Fast shipment
I purchased my honeywell humidifier a year ago due to it being so dry in the winter time in New England. We have well water which over the year's time really gummed up the filers that came with the unit. At that time it was not even putting out a gallon of water a day. Now that I have the replacement frilers in place the unit is back to full capasity and cranking out 3-5 gallons of moist air a day. My skin and sinuses are happy again :-)
Filters are great and so easy to order and receive quickly through this web site!
I'm very thankful that KAZ is still selling the filters for my old Honeywell humidifier. No store in my area has those filters.
I have ordered this item last year and I am very satisfied with the product, price and timely delivery.
I have had my humidifier for decades. I'm just so thankful that the filters are still available. They always do a great job. I'd recommend this KAZ product to everyone.
I have been using these filters in my vaporizor for years. They worik great, are easy to install, and last a full season. After that I would definitely change the filters. I use it in a Honeywell cool mist vaporizor. I don't think it is available anymore, but I will definitely purchase a new one when this one gives out. I've had it for at least 10 years, which is a lot longer than the warranty.
I have used these filters for about 4 years and have always found them to be excellent at filtering and keep the moisture free of mold. I reverse them in mid season for extended use.
I was extremely pleased with my entire experience with KAZ recently. From the ordering, to receiving and using the product, there were no delays or mix-ups. The product itself is easy to install and works very well in my humidifier giving me confidence that this years' winter indoor dry air will not get the best of me. I highly recommend KAZ and their products.
I've used these filters with my humidifier for a number of years and always been quite satisfied.
Also it's easy to order and they are shipped quickly.
Good product. Seems to last about a month before needing change. Just wish they lasted longer.
Thank you for your great customer service and product selection.
This is a very good product that I could not fine in our local home iomprovement stores.
It is sold at a fair price and customer service is good.
I'm glad that it was easily to find my correct filter online and ensure it was the right style for my humidifier (pictures are helpful).
However it appears your website doesn't ship to Canada and when I check out your Canadian Site it just sends me to a couple of stores (who are supposed to be regularly stocking this item).
I love my humidifier but don't love that I can't buy filters for it. Currently I'm recovering from a nasal surgery so it is getting used more than ever and neither store has filters.
Also I live in a town where if my store doesn't carry something, the next town (Edmonton) is 5 hours away. Please look into giving myself an others an online option to replace our filters so I can give you my business.
It is so dry here in the winters that every house has a humidifier system so many others are in my same situation.
find the right filter for
your product.

Lane Bellamy [Celluloid 10.18.12] horror thriller
No more ratings!
Katharine Isabelle reappears after a long absence from horror films as the stoic, cold, and incredibly charismatic Mary Mason in American Mary, the new feature film from twin sisters Jen and Sylvia Soska (self-dubbed as "The Twisted Twins"). The higher production value and professional performances put it far above their previous sophomoric, but highly entertaining, effort Dead Hooker in a Trunk, but American Mary remains, like its predecessor, a pure exploitation film with little substance and a lot of fun.
Mary Mason is a troubled medical student in desperate need of money. She's missing classes and can't pay her bills. Constantly berated by her harsh professor and frantic for cash, she heads to the local strip club dressed in lingerie to audition for a role as a dancer. The sleazy, yet sexy, club owner Billy forces Mary to give him a massage when one of his criminal cronies is brought in, bleeding, barely escaped from some crime-gone-wrong or mafia reprimand. Mary is asked: do you want to make 500 dollars fast? She covertly stitches up the criminal and makes her money, sick to her stomach at what just occurred. It isn't long before the strippers at the club hear that Mary is a medical student; would she be willing to perform illegal body modification surgeries on them for lots of money? Mary would. Soon Mary is raking in the dough. Noticing her new-found wealth, and assuming she's moonlighting as a prostitute, her professor invites her to a surgeons-only cocktail party (to which she wears an incredibly inappropriate, expensive dress cut down to her navel) where he immediately drugs and rapes her, filming it all. Devastated, the next morning Mary quits medical school and begins to go completely insane with her desire for revenge and the understanding of the meaningless of her own existence.
I have read a few other reviews of the film that refer to it as deep and as a feminist story; I don't think those people watched the same movie I did. American Mary is perhaps one of the shallowest films I have seen in a long time, completely centered on sexualizing female pain and distress. Aside from Mary, every woman in the movie is a stripper with severe psychological disorders engaging in abusive relationships with men. All the people with power in the film are male except for Mary, whose cold and detached nature prevents her from forming bonds with other human beings. Mary parades around in skimpy and seductive clothes yet never expresses any sexual desire for other people. Her only sexual experiences include a vile rape and appearances in the fantasies of the men who organize, control, and dominate her life. The lines between rape and coerced "sex" are blurred constantly: Mary's rape was an unconscionable act, but her good-guy ally Billy habitually forces women to give him blow jobs when they come into his club. Other womens distress doesn't seem to bother Mary; she's a sociopath with no interest in people, sexual or otherwise. Not that the men in the film are very enchanting either: they are all abusers or stoic authority figures. American Mary is about horrible people doing horrible things to each other, not about women taking power back from the men who abuse it. But that's okay. Like low budget exploitation and rape-revenge movies from the 1970s and 80s, American Mary is more concerned with titillating the audience than making any kind of social statement or delving into character study.
Unfortunately, the truly fun and entertaining storyline loses its flow midway when Mary's motivations to continue her work become less clear and the plot stops making a lot of sense. Mary wanders in and out of the strip club and her apartment, where she performs hardcore body modification surgeries on those willing to pay for it, all the while spouting Greg Araki-style existentialist non-statements about the meaning of her life as Billy listens, love-struck. Occasionally she stops to torture her former professor who she has tied up in an undetermined basement somewhere. The body modifications are a lot of fun, with some pretty neat close-ups of the surgeries and nice prosthetic effects. Sadly, most of the hardcore gore is implied rather than direct, but the overall effect works. There are numerous, atmospheric and creative strip club scenes that seem ripped from From Dusk Till Dawn with a clear agenda: the filmmakers want to make movies like Eli Roth and Robert Rodriguez, and really want those directors to take notice of them (they dedicated the film to Eli Roth).
American Mary is layered with humor, some unintentional and some very planned. The Soskas make cameos playing twin sisters that want a particularly complex surgery (with terrible fake German accents), and Isabelle utters a couple of truly funny lines as Mary. After the first half of the movie, Mary's line delivery (d)evolves into Rose McGowan-like, fast sarcastic statements that give American Mary a snarky flavor. Like Ginger in Ginger Snaps, Isabelle's Mary is an innocent girl who becomes a monster because she can't control her own sexuality. It's not too different as far as performances go, though Mary is more mature and less relatable than Ginger.
Actress Tristan Risk plays Beatress Johnson, a stripper obsessed with looking like Betty Boop to the point that she affects a Betty Boop voice all the time and has disastrous plastic surgery that makes her face look like it is made out of Play-Doh. Instead of being creepy, the questionable makeup and the irritating voice and mannerisms are just silly. Why would Beatress act like Betty Boop all the time, instead of just when she's at the strip club and trying to use her unique looks to get customers? Why hasn't anyone else in the neighborhood noticed the freakish woman with the bad Betty Boop wig walking around? Why hasn't she been made fun of on all the mainstream gossip blogs? And further, where does her disturbing fixation with looking like a kid's cartoon character some from? Is she mentally ill? American Mary couldn't begin to answer these questions, nor does it want to. By avoiding the obvious problems and interesting nature of a character like Beatress, American Mary declines to get really involved in the body modification movement except in an "Oh look, gnarly!" surface-area way. Billy's seemingly real love for Mary is never allowed to grow, either. The Soskas have referred to American Mary as an allegory for their experiences in the film industry; is that why everyone in the film is a shallow, disconnected sociopath pathologically obsessed with their own looks, exploiting people for profit, or both?
