Is Feminism Hillary, Olivia, Jamie, or the-Hasidic-Women-in-the-Photo?
Is feminism Hillary, Olivia, Jamie, or the-Hasidic-woman-in-the-photo?
Let's see.
In recent news, we have Hillary Clinton, a well-known feminist, appearing unadorned and bespectacled in a photo while abroad in Bangladesh. In this interesting piece on the subject, Amy Odell says:
When asked by CNN about the makeup-less photo of her in Bangladesh making the rounds this week, Hillary confirmed that her appearance is "just not something I think is important anymore." Fox News aside, the world rejoiced over that sentiment. She "does not need to fret about having the right sort of career-enhancing wardrobe, haircut or makeup," wrote Robin Givhan for the Daily Beast. "She could arrive for a diplomatic meeting wearing flip-flops and blue jeans and no one would doubt her authority." Styleite's Jada Wong responded simply with, "Yeah, she rules."Personally, I (Ruchi here) think this is awesome. A woman should absolutely be respected for her mind, values, and personal accomplishments. Whether my political views are aligned with Hillary's is highly irrelevant; my inner self salutes her inner self. If this is feminism, man, I'm a feminist.
...In December of 2010, Hillary memorably tackled the media's fixation on her clothing choices during a talk in Kyrgyzstan, when an interviewer asked about her favorite clothing designers. She replied, "Would you ever ask a man that question?"
Her comments on CNN yesterday are sure to inspire fans who wish they, like her, didn't feel pressured to look a certain way, as all women are. This line in particular stood out: "I feel so relieved to be at the stage I'm at in my life right now."[Note: if she actually showed up for a diplomatic meeting wearing flip-flops and blue jeans, hmmm, I'm not such a fan. Part of the cool is that she could - but won't.]
Next in line we have Olivia Palermo, a well-known "socialite." (My guard is up.) It seems that:
The socialite has become one of the most influential red-carpet celebrities for style-conscious Orthodox women, who must follow three core rules of modesty in how they dress.Well, now. I consider myself a style-conscious Orthodox woman, and I've never heard of her. But you can't argue that sleeves on wedding gowns and longer skirt lengths have been made cooler by the likes of Kate Middleton.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is also praised for her 'ladylike' clothes, and Ms. Heyman added that celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, who often wears layers of vintage, 'covers up in [a way] that works for the Orthodox girls.'Are Olivia and Kate feminists, then, for wearing longer, classier clothing that don't broadcast or objectify them? For not buying into that whole industry? What is their motivation for covering up and creating a new trend?
If feminism means that we cover more to be taken seriously more (both by men and women), man, I'm so in.
Thirdly, we arrive at Jamie Grumet, a 26-year-old model and blogger - I refuse to link anything here - who recently appeared on the highly controversial cover of Time magazine nursing her 3-year-old son. In a tank top and skinny jeans, her pose and facial expression defy you to question her ways, with the accusatory headline "Are You Mom Enough?" splashed across the page.
I've seen Jamie hailed by feminist women, for standing up for her attachment ways. I've seen her vilified by equally strong-minded women, for selling out, turning moms against each other in a man-run corporation, and branding herself by her body instead of her mind.
Is Jamie a feminist? Was she used? Taken advantage of?
If feminism here means the right to expose yourself publicly, I'm out. Equal footing with men, remember?
Finally, we have these two Hasidic women. They don't seem to care about modern fashion, nor do they seem impressed or even aware that their pictures are being taken. Are they repressed? Cool, like Hillary, and relieved, to not care? Do they "rule" like she does?
Are they feminists, like Olivia and Kate, for dressing in a way that does not leave them objectified?
Do they have anything at all in common with Jamie, for standing out with their non-conformist ways and proudly bucking the trend?
If feminism here clashes with these women's choice of dress and lifestyle, whoops, I'm out again. But if it means that just as my pediatrician wears long side burns and a bow tie, and that's just fine, well, these women are cool. That's a choice. If it means they are immune to the dictates of a bunch of socialites, nay, don't even know what they have said to build immunity to, I'm in!
Who, indeed, is a feminist?
Then there's me. I like to look cute. Sometimes I feel proud of that - I fancy that maybe I am an example that looking "good" and being Orthodox are not mutually exclusive. Other times I feel like a mindless robot. Who says purple is cute this year? Why do I care? Maybe the most liberated women are those that know that following trends is plain old stupid and are man enough (pardon the expression) to live that clarity.
On the third hand, it makes me feel good when I feel that I look good. But who is dictating those feelings? Any girl worth her style-salt knows that your "cute clothes" from five years no longer make you feel cute.
So who's the feminist now?

I don't think who wears what matters in the least. Feminism is not about clothing, who ignores fashion trends or who slavishly obeys them.ReplyDelete
It's about women having the same opportunities, rights, and the same freedoms as men do.
If you're looking to see if any group of women are feminists, look at whether they would get equal compensation for their labor if they worked outside the home, as compared to their husbands' wages. Look at whether they are comfortable making all the important, critical decisions in the family as a team with their spouses or if they, instead, ask for permission. Look at whether they can independently support their family, if their spouse gets ill or laid off. Look at the division of labor in the home. Look at whether they have a say in the important structures of their community- shul boards, school boards, etc. How many community leaders are female in that group? Look at whether there are entire professions that are categorically closed off to these women or if they are able to explore their talents in any area.
But clothing? That is only marginally, peripherally relevant to feminism.Replies
Hi, Anonymous #1 (ok if I call you that?) -Delete
Thanks for your remarks. I always thought that too, but I think the definition of feminism has broadened. For example, stay at home moms should have the choice to do that (if they can swing it financially) and I've seen that hailed as a feminist choice. Now, a stay at home mom typically cannot support the family if her husband is laid off or dies, or if they get divorced, so while it's feministic to believe that she has choices, that choice clashes with a previously held tenet of feminism.
Likewise, Jamie Grumet's choice to appear the way she did, at first blush, appears bravely feministic (perhaps you would disagree) - but at closer glance, was perhaps a sellout or concession in a man-run corporation.
This is my point - to use these women as examples in exploring more deeply what feminism actually is and isn't, and how sometimes unlikely women are the greatest feminists.

I don't find the Time cover particularly feminist--mainly because it's on a mainstream, not-particularly-feminist magazine and is clearly meant to sell the magazine more than to truly ask questions about feminism, breastfeeding and motherhood.Delete
If it were on the cover of a FEMINIST magazine (in which case a lot of readers here would never have seen it), that would be much more interesting, because that would evoke a great discussion of "what is feminism" and how does it fit together with questions of motherhood, beauty, images for selling magazines, and so forth. And I think feminists (of whom there are many, many, stripes with many disagreements among themselves and widely varying lifestyle choices . . . I won't say "sort of like Jews", but I'm thinking it) would then be provoked to more interesting debates about MOTHERING than the one that is currently going on about whether the PHOTO is gross or feminist.
My view? Her clothing is what most people I know wear a lot of the time, so that's also not to me feminist, nor not-feminist, it's just 'average' for my world. She's a gorgeous, too-skinny model, nothing new there either, and it certainly doesn't help me to keep my daughter realistic about what a healthy body looks like. I don't care whether women breastfeed their 4-yr-olds, some people where I live do it but most don't, big deal, in poorer parts of the world this is about child mortality and birth control, so let's think about something more important. The fact that the pose is sort of 'sexy' and the poor child in that picture is thereby drawn into a sort of parody of something pornographic is really sad. Sad choice to do that to a kid, who will be remembered in that photo for a long time, or at least every 10 yrs or so when someone publishes it again next to a picture of his growing-up self.
SBW - I'd like to clarify why I mentioned her clothing. I understand that that's considered mainstream dress. My point was, if the article is about mothering, the whole stance does not look particularly maternal, but rather somewhat provocative. And yes, I completely agree with you about the child in question.Delete
"Sort of like Jews." (Hee hee!)

Thanks also for those reflections on your conflicts around 'feeling cute'. I'm in with you.Delete
Leaving aside the photo's provocative combination of sexiness and maternality, I wonder if O-women, who I'm guessing have babies rather earlier than non-O women, more easily combine being a mom and being an attractive woman (at least to one's husband). And I suppose the men must also become accustomed to the non-splitting of these roles at an earlier age than non-O men. I mean, young, childless O-women are not so prevalent, so this negotiation of having different sides of oneself must happen at a younger age.
I realize that modesty concerns probably prevent you from discussing physical relations on this blog, but I would be really interested to hear about emotional relationships in couples--what it means to feel attractive and desired (to and by one's husband) and also be MOM, to have MOM-hood very definitive of your life at the same time. This is something I think about for myself quite a lot.
Please feel free to exclude this comment, I think it might be on the edge of not ok for you.
It's interesting; I don't think my Orthodox friends and I see this as a conflict at all. Maybe because all physical relationships are happening in a marriage context from the get-go, which is automatically associated with (hopefully) being a mom. Dating is for marriage, not for anything else, so it's all bound up, but ironically, maybe, as you pointed out, this allows it to be less compartmentalized and more integrated.Delete
Not that as moms we don't struggle with the universal feelings of being so tired at the end of a long day that we don't care *who* we are - but the identity thing, I believe (and maybe I'm incorrectly generalizing) is less of a struggle.
You are right that modesty concerns are limiting my openness. Feel free to email me for a more in-depth idea of what I mean. I would just point out that since the whole physical relationship remains very modest and private, I'm not plagued by comparisons among friends or the media about how things "should" or "could" be.
As an extreme example, most of my (Orthodox) friends have never heard of, much less read, a certain very popular book that seems to have enjoyed an insane following and popularity, that in my opinion, totally confuses women, or at least distracts them, from satisfaction in marriage.
Have you read it?!Delete
Not a chance.Delete

I always find it very interesting that those who are unfamiliar with Orthodox life think that women take a back seat role. Consider the verses in the Aishes Chayil, written by King Solomon, who being the king and the wisest of all men, you would think that he would drive and control all decisions, but no. The Aishes Chayil is a strong, independent, smart, capable decision maker, who may or may not do so privately in the home. There are many ways that women of different personalities personify the aishes chayil.ReplyDelete

What makes you think that the specific Hasidic women pictured "don't seem to care about modern fashion"? The fact that they're not wearing it? That's not logical in this context. They and their families would probably face some pushback if they suddenly showed up dressed like the fashion-isha blogger (i.e. tznius but trendy too).ReplyDelete
When it comes to the things Hasidic women can't do (which varies widely but includes far more than modern fashion in many Hasidic communities), I'm sure some Hasidic women don't care and some do very much and many are in between. Some of those who care will express themselves partially by squeezing as close as possible to the boundary of "barely acceptable" in their community. A few may be charismatic or influential enough to actually budge that boundary. Some may feel strongly enough to change communities. Most of those who care will probably stay and suck it up. The ones who want to change but don't aren't going to be distinguishable in a picture like this from the ones who truly don't care.
Conforming to the norms of a local majority instead of a national one isn't non-conformist or bucking the trend.
Relatedly, if you're on imamother, check out the still-going "Losing my identity" thread.
Of course, as you point out, social pressure exists for secular women too. And they often conform to their sub-communities as well. Not to mention there's some basic standards we all conform to. I wore sweats and no makeup to class in college sometimes, but I wouldn't have ever considered showing up in a tutu, a clown suit or barefoot.Replies

Hi, feminist, and welcome to OOTOB.Delete
"Conforming to the norms of a local majority instead of a national one isn't non-conformist or bucking the trend."
Very true. I hadn't thought of it quite like that. Still, there is something to being counter-culture - or sub-culture.
I don't go on imamother. It depresses me. In general, I find that mostly-anonymous discussion boards bring out the worst in people.
- feministMay 16, 2012 at 12:22 PM
I think the "something" is present when Orthodox women, including Hasidic ones, interact regularly and significantly with people outside their communities on a peer-to-peer level. Usually in the context of higher education or work. In their secular school or workplace they are for sure bucking the trend. Even someone like me with pants and no hair cover, who blends in on sight, often ends up sticking out due to kashrus and Shabbos. Those whose lives are completely in the community, aside from shopping excursions and the like, don't have the same experience.Delete
By the way, I think your blog is great. You do a good job of keeping the comment threads civil. You're right to an extent about anonymous discussion boards. I have found them useful for many practical things like grad school admissions and recipes, but unfortunately it's very easy to get bogged down in "the worst in people" type discussions.

Can I ask why the people here find the cover disgusting? Is it mostly the age of the child? Or would it be as bad for you if the "suckling" so visibly going on were of a baby? The stance of the mother? Do O-women here have different responses to what is 'gross' here than non-O-women?ReplyDelete
I can see how the 'sexiness' of the mom and her stance combined with the act of breastfeeding could evoke discomfort. And THAT would be for me a great topic that would justify this cover--how do moms deal with conflicting feelings around kids, babies, husbands, eroticism, being looked at as babymakers or sex objects. I didn't read the article or buy the magazine though.Replies
FTR, I showed the photo to three women this past Sunday morning. Two are not Orthodox, and one is. All three found it to be very distasteful. I think the age and "using" of a child, the stance of the mother, and the exposure - combined.Delete
I don't consider the Time cover to be sexual or inappropriate. Breastfeeding is not a sexual act. People find it acceptable when men go jogging with bare chests, or to go swimming with bare chests, so it seems fair that women should also be able to uncover for a non-sexual purpose like feeding a baby.ReplyDelete
Of course, you could object that she's not adhering to halachic standards of modesty, but by that thinking a woman wearing short sleeves or a skirt an inch above the knee is also "exposed".Replies
Hi Sarah, see above where I mentioned the responses of a varied group of women. I agree that breastfeeding is not a sexual act, but I think this covered sexualized it to some degree. Of course I don't object to her not following halachic standards of modesty :)Delete

Feminism is not just about wardrobe choices; for the woman who is interested in fashion to buck trends, due to feministic reasons, she has lost the battle. The days of undergarment burning days are over. Its about her maintaining a balance of being fashionable whilst not attracting undesired attention, of her being acknowledged for significant things. On the flip side it would be truly 'unfeministic' for someone that did not care about fashion, to pursue it.ReplyDelete
It is possible for a Chasidic woman from Meah Shearim to more of a feminist than an single twenty-something living on the American west coast.
At the end of the day feminism is more than just how we dress, but how we act and the kind of attention we get for our actions.Replies

lost the battle = but purposefully not dressing fashionably, she is stating that the only way to be an equal to men is by losing all 'feminity'. This idea is such a lack in true self worth.
the kind of attention we get for our actions= the positive attention received for accomplishments done in a behaviorally modest fashion. (not a big fan of in ur face toughness or overt display of feminine charms)
It also just so happens to be that men and women are different and have different purposes to fill in this world. I'm a big proponent for girl power, but can't we be strong and 'unguiltely' female too?

Hm, well, it is a moving blog post but it avoids the question of what 'equality' means. Is it 'utter sameness' or is it 'with regard to the possibilities unique to each'? Political equality is easy enough if it means only voting rights. But social and econ equality are harder: does childbearing make any difference in women's social and econ status, so that 'equality' might require different rules (like different medical coverage, paid leave, etc.)?ReplyDeleteReplies
Ruth, thanks, both for the compliment and the link, and welcome to OOTOB! I agree with SBW that it was a good piece, but the rub is "equality" and "sameness."Delete
Working men will never have to deal with pregnancy or maternity leave or pumping at work.
I consider myself a feminist in the sense that I believe that women are just as important and valued as men, but that their paths toward their respective potential can look radically different, without a problem. Others would not consider me a feminist for that very reason. I don't think women in Orthodoxy, for example, need to be liberated, because I think they're already liberated.
Equal but different, as you know, carries considerable stigma and baggage.

A fence was constructed around Live Oak High School for this year's Cinco De Mayo to separate students from U.S. flag demonstrators.
Students created an enormous "unity banner" to hang across their campus' entrance reading, "United at the roots, we are all different branches of the same tree." Students dipped their hands in green and yellow paint buckets (the school's colors) and imprinted hundreds of hands across the banner.
Superintendent Steve Betando said Live Oak High students were allowed to wear whatever flag they wanted to class. Many students, however, opted instead to wear a T-shirt with a green and gold Oak tree drawing on it to participate in "Green and Gold Day."
Two U.S. flag-waving rallies staged outside Live Oak High School on Cinco De Mayo went smoothly Monday.
Fifty peaceful protesters lined the street rallying around the First Amendment right to free speech.
Joshua Coon, 16, of Monterey, said he joined the flag rally because he wanted to support fundamental rights of Americans, and described fellow demonstrators as "peaceful and very sincere."
"This country is about all walks of life, all people. We're not discriminating against any individuals or groups, (we're) just standing up for freedom," Coon said.
Demonstrators believed five students' First Amendment rights were violated by Live Oak High when they were sent home from school for wearing U.S. flag T-shirts on Cinco De Mayo.

A Look at McCook
The following article originally appeared in the Spring 2006 issue of The 66 News, the quarterly periodical of the The Route 66 Association of Illinois. ©2006 David G. ClarkFive miles west of Chicago, 66 follows Joliet Road through the Village of McCook. At 55th Street, you are greeted with "Road Closed" signs and forced west, then south onto East Avenue, bypassing one mile of the Mother Road. McCook's closed section of 66 is unique among the 2448+ miles of our beloved highway—arguably the only mile of 66 to boast having been part of (1) a Native American Trail and (2) the first public highway in Cook County, and home to (3) quarries and (4) an airport. It is possibly unique in a fifth way—it could be the only section of the road ever closed due to the allegedly destructive activities of a commercial entity along its path.
- The land mass that is currently McCook was once marshy wetland within Illinois's vast tall-grass prairie. A native-American path, known to pioneers as the "high-plains trail," traversed the area southwesterly, following a stony ridge—the direct overland route connecting the Chicago River to the navigable waters of the Illinois River below Ottawa, Illinois.
- According to Milo Quaife in Chicago's Highways Old and New, in April 1831, "[The County Board of Commissioners] made provision for marking out the first two county highways of Cook County…One of these highways followed the high-plains trail." For fifty years, the area that is now McCook would see passersby, but no known settlers. After 1852, the highway was called the Joliet Road.
- History and Progress: Village of McCook states that by 1883 the Chicago, St. Louis & Western Railroad had come through and named the local depot "Limestone." "Stone and sand were shipped from the quarries in the area… Mexican laborers were brought in to maintain the tracks and right-of-way, and were housed in bunk cars along the sidings." The depot name changed to "Wentworth" and then "McCook" after officials of the Santa Fe railroad, which bought the CSF&W in 1888. The area was mined for crushed stone as soon as the railroads became available for hauling out the product. Today, Vulcan Materials owns the quarries north and south of Historic 66 in McCook.
- From the 1920s through 1958, Stinson Airport was located north of Joliet Road at East Avenue. "Arthur Killips, a Hudson-Essex automobile dealer on Ogden Avenue [early 66] in Lyons, and an aviation enthusiast, stunt flier and 'barnstormer,' is credited with the founding of the airport…In the days before television and extensive radio coverage, planes took off from the Midwest Flying Service at Stinson with long aerial sky banners. These advertised everything from shoe cleaners, beer, and sun tan oil, to swim suits." The navy trained pilots here for World War II, and the field had daily flights for the U.S. Weather Bureau. (History and Progress). A September 1, 1956 article in the Chicago Tribune stated, "the quarry company which owns the land [under Stinson] has informed the airport operators that they have 'another two or three years of operation at least,' before excavation of stone closes the field." The quarry closed the airport in 1958.
- In 2001, the Illinois Department of Transportation filed suit against Vulcan Materials Corporation, seeking injunctive relief and damages. The road was closed in May 1998, according to McCook Mayor Patrick Gorski, "because the road basically split in half and was actually moving, therefore causing certain sections of the roadway to sink, causing areas to crack, and concrete jersey walls to explode from the pressure of the movement" (Route 66 Federation News, Autumn 2002).
The court proceeding of IDOT against Vulcan Materials is still pending in Cook County Circuit Court.

The UCF Knights (9-4 SU, 6-7 ATS) and Ball State Cardinals (9-3 SU, 9-3 ATS) meet in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl Friday night at Tropicana Field (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). Here is point spread information and analysis from The Linemakers on Sporting News. Visit our live odds board for updated college bowl game point spreads.
Ball State is expected to have starting quarterback Keith Wenning for Friday's showdown in St. Petersburg, Fla., against a Central Florida team that began the year ineligible for post-season play.
Wenning fractured his ankle on Nov. 14 and missed the season-finale against Miami (OH). Wenning practiced this week, but Cardinals' coach Pete Lembo has not tipped his hand. Still, the belief among those close to the program is that Wenning will play.
Central Florida appealed the NCAA penalties that included a post-season ban and rallied to reach the Conference USA Championship Game. The Knights lost in overtime to Tulsa in the conference title game and have lost two of three overall.
This is Ball State's first bowl under coach Lembo and first since 2009. The Cardinals are 0-5 all-time in bowls.
Line: Central Florida -7
Total: 61.5
Line movement: The Knights opened as 7-point favorites and have held steady. Central Florida has seen enough action to adjust the juice, as some Vegas shops had UCF at -7 (-120) as of Thursday.
Ball State is averaging 35.0 and surrendering 31.50 points per game.
Central Florida is averaging 35.23 and surrendering 22.46 points per game.
Notable trends and stats:
— Central Florida coach George O'Leary is 4-4 ATS in bowl games.
— The Knights are 7-3 SU, but just 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.
— The Cardinals are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 non-conference games.
— The Knights are 10-3 over/under this season.
— Strength of schedule: UCF 115th; Ball State 81st
— Conference USA teams went 6-34 straight-up against non-conference FBS teams this season.
Knights Outlook: Central Florida has losses to Ohio State, Missouri and twice to Tulsa. The Knights feature running back Latavius Murray (103.5 yards per game), who should find plenty of running space against a Ball State defense that ranks 106th against the run. Sophomore quarterback Blake Bortles has thrown 22 touchdowns with only seven interceptions.
Cardinals Outlook: Ball State won six straight games, including four on the road, to finish out the regular season. The Cardinals posted wins over South Florida and Indiana, their only losses coming to three bowl teams — Clemson, Kent State and Northern Illinois. Ball State has a decided advantage in special teams.
The Linemakers' Lean: The Linemakers Power Ratings — Central Florida 107.7, Ball State 98.2 — indicate there may be a little value on the Knights, but our lean on this game is on the OVER. Murray should be able to exploit Ball State's soft run defense, and the two teams are a combined 17-8 to the OVER THIS season.

Visit Dream Kelly
Kelly keeps asking her audience questions, like can she be our dream gal, whether or not we like her tight body and wouldn't we like to be the photographer on her photo shoots. The answer to all these questions is, of course, yes. If she asked us if we thought her site Dream Kelly was very good, the answer would also have to be yes.
DreamKelly is a good-looking site focused on a very good-looking babe. Kelly has a sexy, slim body with perky tits, a nice ass and long bleached-blonde hair that she sometimes dyes brown. The blonde makes her look like a Barbie doll and the brown gives her a slightly older, sexier vibe. The sign-up page lets you know that she is 5'4" and 104 lbs and tells you some of her hobbies.
The site looks to be updating weekly given the number of videos available on it now as compared to the last time we gave it a look. There are 120 movies, but it looks like more until you notice that many of them are split up into parts. Still, you'll find that most flicks offer great-quality playback, so I think some vids were reformatted, although some of them look pretty mediocre in quality.
Watch Kelly behave like a horny exhibitionist in the bath, outdoors or in her bedroom, playing with her pink pussy. I already mentioned that she changes her hair color, but I must say that she often looks like a completely different girl. They seem to change how they do her makeup, so, for example, sometimes you can see her freckles and other times she looks like a porcelain doll.
There are 247 photo sets and the quality of the pictures is sometimes a bit of a letdown. That said, the photo spreads were obviously shot by professionals and there are some high-res images to be had. You can download the galleries in handy Zip files.
There are over 80 bonus sites as part of the HD Porn Pass network, including Solo Sydney, Cable Guy Sex and Hot Teens Kissing. They cover a wide range of hardcore categories. Dream Kelly, like many a wet dream, will leave you sticky and messy down below.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 75% Date: 03/23/2010
The site is under new management and does not allow a quick download of the photo sets any longer. When you download them manually, you need to renumber them in order or they'll be all messed up.
Score: 50% Date: 12/31/2009
The site is run by a man. Kelly has nothing to do with the site- there is no cam, although you will be told there is just to get you to join the site. The pics and vids are old- but she is still hot as hell.
Score: 80% Date: 08/11/2009
She gets an 80 because she was hot.. as a blonde. But this site is old now and the real Dream Kelly hasn't been a part of it for awhile. There is no blog, no webcam shows, and no emails. If I'm going to pay for a membership to a sologirl site, then I need personality and interaction with the girl not pic and vids that are 7 years old!
Score: 10% Date: 08/27/2008
As fine as this bitch is you'd think she's be cleaning up with all the new members joining. But here we have, yet, another lame site with a hot chick. Give it up. Do hardcore porn already. Get fucked by really big cocks and eat cum. THEN she'll be a really big star.

An unfortunate bunt attempt has landed Los Angeles Angels outfielder Collin Cowgill on the disabled list.
Cowgill, who is expected to miss the next four-to-five weeks, squared up for a bunt during Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers but rather than make contact with the bat, he did so with his face (see below).
In 69 games this season, the 28-year-old is hitting .277/.354/.407 with five home runs and 16 RBI.
Utility man and former first-round pick Grant Green has been called up in Cowgill's absence. The 26-year-old is hitting .324/.333/.419 in 29 games with the Angels this season.

Braised Rabbit Head
Last updated by chinatravel at 2015/11/18
Braised Rabbit Head is a famous special local food and is widely favored. Materials for the dish include the head of a three or four year old rabbit and over ten kinds of traditional Chinese medicines produced in Mengshan Mountain. There are ten procedures to follow before the dish is prepared. It not only tastes fresh and a little spicy, but helps improve the condition of your skin and eyes, and bring nutrition to your brain. Local people have their own habit on how to eat it. First, put the Braised Rabbit Head on the table and break it off with fingers and thumb. Eat the tongue first, and then the cheek, the black eye socket, and finally the brain. Braised Rabbit Dish has applied for and received a registered trade mark. Many chain shops therefore offer the delicious dish all over the country.

Chazz is such a great actor - he did a wonderful job telling his "Bronx Tale". The Balboa theater is quite old and there is hardly any room in front of your seat. The seats are not staggered, so I had a hard time seeing around the person with the big hair in front of me. I loved the show, though.

star this review starred report as inappropriate
The venue was beautiful to begin with. I am a fan of Chazz Palminteri and I love the movie version of A Bronx Tale. This live, one man performance exceeded my expectations. He was brilliant! I recommend this performance, you must see it!
In 1989 Chazz Palminteri wrote a one-man show about a killing he saw in the Bronx when he was nine years old. He performed it at a little theater in Hollywood California. It became a hit and the most sought-after property since Rocky. With only two hundred left in the bank and million dollar offers, he refused to sell his play unless he played Sonny and wrote the screenplay. He held out and got his wish with Robert De Niro. This is the original one-man show he wrote and performed in 1989 that made him a star.
Born in 1952, Palmintieri grew up in a tough area of the Bronx and it gave young Calogero (Palminteri's given first name) the life lessons that would later prove very useful to his career. He started out pursuing his craft in studying at the Actor's Studio with Lee Straussberg. He appeared off-Broadway in the early 1980s while paying his dues as a singer in his own band.
Run Time: 82 minutes, no intermission
Recommended for ages 6 and up.

This country's going so far to the right you're not even going to recognize it. --Attorney General John Mitchell, 1970

Robama's surprise jaunt to Bagram AFB** so, like, totally not "craven politics", concludes with speech "7:30 New York time and Middle of the Freaking Night Afghanistan time". The complex, protracted, Rube Goldberg-esque, ObamaCare-like timeline in the agreement with Afghanistan (to be signed at the Chicago NATO campaign event summit) does not specify budget, final troop count, or status of forces. The lawyerly "[b]ut we will not build permanent bases in this country, nor will we be patrolling its cities and mountains" (full text as prepared) when parsed, does not rule out already built bases, new bases built by others, or war from the air with drones (despite post-con call assertion from The Obama 527 Formerly Known As Daily Kos). "Strategic partnership"*** replaces "mission accomplished," but mission the rhetorical and ideological frame remains. Greenwald tweets: "Combat for at least 2 more yrs plus decade-long commitment ====> Obama ended the war!" Froomkin: "As President Barack Obama was flying into Afghanistan on Air Force One for a few hours of speeches and ceremonies on Tuesday, Sgt. Nicholas Dickhut was flying back in a box." After wheels-up for the homeland, car bomb shakes Kabul. Don't let the gate hit you on your way out of the graveyard.
Delusional self-sucking grifter Newt Gingrich runs out the string for one more day. Robama, of Obomney: "Just what you'd expect from a guy with a Swiss Bank Account". (Post-con call message reinforcement from Kos.) Obomney: Nada; Rove's gone non-feral. Ron Paul in Alaska and in New England (a "powerhouse"). Americans Elect cancels May 8 primary. Without so much as a press release. And The Lady of Negotiable Affection from Cartagena may get a photo spread.

The Great Basin Incident Management Team 4 says the Millie Fire, burning 20 miles south of Bozeman, is now 10 percent contained.
Fire crews briefed the public during a meeting on Monday evening, and say the 10,186-acre blaze is slowing down.
In some areas, it's reaching rocky cliffs and running out of fuel.
Plus, fire fighters are making progress where it's active.
Crews constructed containment lines on the west flank, south side and northern edge. And, they chipped along the road in Hyalite Canyon to get rid of fuel.
Officials say more crews continue to arrive to provide help, including two Type 2 crews from Pennsylvania that hit the ground on Sunday.
The Forest Service told residents they're putting together a plan of action for rehabilitating damaged land.
"As fire progresses and some of the fire line begins to be cold and contained and safe- we start thinking about what we're going to do to reclaim that" said Lisa Stoeffler, with the Gallatin National Forest.
She said they'll work "to bring back in the vegetation and duff, and keep those fire lines from becoming erosion hazards."
They'll look at erosion control, water diversion, weeding, seeding and making roads and trails safe.
Stoeffler said they plan to start work in several days, in areas where the fire is completely out and the area 100 percent safe. From there, they'll follow the fire suppression line.
Officials say a total of 412 people are assigned to the Millie Fire. Two Type 1 hand crews, seven Type 2 hand crews, 21 engines, and eight dozers are actively working the blaze.
Three helicopters are making water drops on the headwaters of South Cottonwood Creek. Crews are working to protect structures in South Cottonwood Canyon, Hyalite Canyon and the Blanchard area.

The Vampire Diaries
It's Gonna Be a Long Hot Summer! CW to Re-Air Vampire Diaries Season 2
If you were worried the only way you'd be able to catch The Vampire Diaries re-runs were via your near-full DVR, don't fret. The CW has decided to re-air all the drama, tragedy, and dirty dancing of Season 2 every Thursday starting on May 26, at 8 p.m. ET.
The first episode, "The Return," picks up right where Season 1 left off, so even if you missed the entirety of Season 2 (who are you?!), you can rediscover the magic of Mystic Falls, from terrifying werewolf transformations to scary supernatural sacrifices for the very first time. Or second. Or, uh, fifth. ...Just us?

Nothing would make me happier than seeing a good old "to do" list clipped to one of these. So what I'm asking you to do right now is to raid your paper stash – because certainly some of you are craft hoarders and keep every last scrap (you can't fool a fellow hoarder). That is the only way to make these. Put fun patterns together . . . don't be afraid. See another version at the link below.

Dalí at the Centre Pompidou, a Colossal exhibition in Paris
PARIS will host a major retrospective on Salvador Dalí, that will be seen next year in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. Dalí 's last exhibition at the Centre Pompidou was in 1979. The artist was still alive and wanted it to be
"huge, colossal, a sort of apotheosis that make everyone understand that I am unique".
This time, the exhibition will be composed by almost two hundred works including paintings, sculptures, films, photographs from the four largest collections worldwide of the Catalan artist: the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in Figueres, the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid.
It's expected to be the most important retrospective that Paris has dedicated to Dali in 30 years, similar to the epic view of ' 79, which with its 900,000 viewers (8000 per day on average), is still the most visited in the history of that institution.
"Salvador Dalí, now seems the artist of all paradoxes," writes Alfred Pacquement in the catalog essay.
"Author of undeniable masterpieces, especially when his painting was at its peak in the early 1930, is also the creator whose provocative attitude, especially in his last period, seems to devalue the best of his art, and whose political stance (he was a supporter of ex-ED) earned him the opprobrium of his contemporaries, starting from his surrealist friends. Dalí, though, and perhaps because of its contradictions, remains one of the most popular artists of the 20th century, the rival and the opposite of Picasso, the inventor of images and objects entered in the collective imagination, whose fame extends far beyond the art world. Unbelievable situation that it would be interesting to investigate to determine the real reasons ".
An exhibition curated by Jean-Hubert Martin, former Director of the Musée National de l'Art Moderne; with Montse Aguer, Jean-Michel Bouhours, Thierry Dufrêne.
Dali, du 21 novembre 2012 au 25 mars 2013 di centrepompidou
Produced by the Centre Pompidou and the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid.

The first time I smelled "Bang" by Marc Jacobs, I was taken in by a peppery smell that dried down to a masculine yet smooth resin-type wood with pepper/spice and the slightest hint of maybe smooth and sweet tobacco... good for giving off that contemporary, smooth, charismatic, and sophisticated-sexy type of vibe.
It is definitely a scent that will work well for younger men who like to give off that sophisticated, "young yet mature", and sexy vibe. It's not an overpowering, musky, and spicy cologne like some older men's cologne (I don't think there's really any true musk in it, just a masculine woodiness-- you think you smell a hint of musk, but it's not truly musk). So, to recap, there is a tiny bit of smoothness to the woody scent (instead of being an overpowering spicy musk) which makes this perfect for younger guys who want to give off that vibe of young-mature, charismatic, and sophisticated sexiness. To me, there's not many good peppery/spicy colognes out there to begin with and LESS that are appropriate for younger guys (in their 20s-30s).
It will be a great scent to try out for those late evening dinners and dates during the late summer to fall (when the temperature gets cooler and less humid).
Dry down was about 30 min-- during the dry down the stronger peppery/spice will lessen a bit. In the long run after the dry down, the pepper-spice will lessen to maybe about 80% within the first 3-4 hours leaving you with a masculine, smooth woodiness with a bit of pepper for 6-8 hours. 3 sprays should be enough. If you want the spicy-pepperiness to stay strong, you need to reapply every 4 hours or so.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

It was best described by the full page reviewer. However this cologne just like so many other so called celebs is as well a "good" fashion sketcher. Like many others out there it is a who knows who and who "thinks" their better than they are. Just as his colonges his clothing for men is ummm just OK. It is way over priced and prices even on here have blown way up. In this economy the rich continue through their ways to keep getting rich but not by the help of my hard earned money. I enjoy Frag X and don't order as much because I can find some colognes at a lower cost. However Frang X is great on shipping and if you can reach them by phone prior to 3pm eastern you can get help, as to email I sent two in the last two weeks and neither were answered. Though I get their emails daily on pricing. Over all there are far better unkown colognes that are as nice and better for a lower cost that most can afford. Hope this helps. Blessings, to all Happy ThanksGiving.

Comments about Marc Jacobs Bang Cologne:
I don't want my hubby to smell like a citrus grove, the ocean or clean laundry. I want him to smell manly and sexy. Most men's fragrances now smell like body wash even worse they smell like my body wash. I want him to smell like a guy. This just does it for me. He wears it and I melt. I love love love it. It's just strong enough without being overpowering. If you want to smell like a metrosexual this isn't for you, your girlfriend is never going to borrow it. If you want to smell like a man and leave her wanting to wear your shirt because it smells like you.Buy this one.

Episode Summary
Elmo is outside roller skating when he and Leela hear construction noises. They investigate and find the The Three Little Pigs building a brick house. The pigs explain that they're trying to build the strongest, prettiest, best house to win the "Best House of Year Contest." When the judge, Mr. Bill Ding, arrives to inspect the house, the Big Bad Wolf suddenly appears and blows the whole house down! He even blows away Elmo on his roller skates.
The Three Little Pigs try building the house again, this time out of something stronger than brick. They build a house out of rock and another one out of metal; but when the Big Bad Wolf arrives, he huffs and puffs and blows down both houses! The Big Bad Wolf has been working out, and his windpipes are stronger than ever.
The Three Little Pigs are about to give up when Leela suggests they try solving the problem with innovation. Rather than make the house stronger, maybe they could find a completely different way to keep it from blowing down. Will Elmo and Leela be able to help the Three Little Pigs come up with a new and different idea to win the "Best House of the Year" contest?

Sergeant Maj. Wallace M. Mains, outgoing sergeant major of Marine Corps Recruiting Station Phoenix, speaks to the Marines of R.S. Phoenix for a final time, concluding the relief and appointment ceremony between him and Sgt. Maj. Jerry Gomes, during a ceremony at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz., July 24, 2013. "As a prior drill instructor, I had a little bit of a skewed opinion of recruiters," said Mains, a New Orleans native. "But being out here the past couple years made me truly realize how difficult this duty is." (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Tyler J. Bolken)

Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
we had just completed repair, parked the vehicle, notified the customer that it was completed and was waiting on them to come pick up the vehicle and pay the remainder that was left after the insurance check was deducted from the bill. i did not need to file mechanics lien because the customer was going to come get the vehicle when they got back in town tomorrow

so there is no recourse for me to go after the carlot that repoed the vehicle even if they knew there was money owed against it?
thank you for your help. another fine law designed to defraud hard working individuals who just want to make an honest living. repair shops do not file mechanics liens on all cars that come in. only the ones that are not paying for the repairs so the shop can recover the money he is out on the vehicle. this should alert all repair facilities in texas that they have the burden of making sure the vehicle has no back money owed on it before repairing it.sometimes the laws in this country are rediculous. thanks again for all your info. frustrated at the situation, definately not at you.

Hmm... Looks like Simmons was correct:
Bill Simmons writes an open letter to Blake Griffin on the eve of the NBA draft - ESPN
Dear Blake,
Run. Just start running. Run for your life. Run like the star of a horror movie. Don't turn around. Run and keep running.
I think you should play in Greece. Or Italy. Or Spain. Or anywhere else. You should play anywhere but for the Clippers. Your agents and advisors are in denial. They don't want you to seem like an ungrateful jerk. They want you to be as marketable and likable as possible. They have talked themselves into the following scenario: "If Blake can turn the Clippers around and become a star in the No. 2 TV market in the country, only good things will happen to him."
See, this is where they are wrong. The odds are overwhelming that bad things will happen to you until you leave. And you will. The Clippers are cursed. They have been cursed for 33 consecutive years.
Don't confuse hope for a plan.
great just great. I again draft a high profile player only to have them suffer a major injury.

The last 10 days have been a veritable whirlwind. Two 3*CDIs, the World Dressage Masters 5* CDI, two Steffen Peters clinics and Steffen warmed me up for 3 of my classes and schooled me in between….I should have rocked the small tour world…right? WRONG!! On the upside, it really brought home the issues that need to be focused on. This was the first time Steffen had seen us in a show environment. It is safe to say that I won the warm-up at least twice but for some reason when the words "A enter, X halt salute, proceed collected trot" went through my head things altered ever so slightly, not to our benefit.
It turns out that there are many advantages to "Steffen Fest". I rode my BEST PIROUETTES ever in every test, wow does he know how to prepare them coming into a test. Some of my best trot half passes and Cadenza's carriage throughout each and every test got better and better.
The downside..My focus was so intense going into the Intermediare 1 at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby that I totally blanked on the canter tour. I was also the last of 44 rides, and the judges also blanked..Oops! Also, it turns out (big surprise here) that CDIs are not the ideal place to work on some fundamental issues. The consequence of me being determined to keep an uphill carriage during my tests were many mistakes. Who knew my horse could complete so many movements whilst doing one-tempis behind? The judges were about as appreciative of it as I, so we suffered score-wise (DUH!!).
So, CDIs and scores we are far from proud of are behind us, but the lessons I have learned will be implemented daily for some time to come.
The big message…SIMPLIFY. It is so easy to make things too complicated. I think the way that my thought process had to change can be summed up in a brief conversation I had with my husband immediately after one of my lessons.
Ken: "so what was the biggest lesson you got out of that session?"
Ilse: "I make things too complicated. Everything has to be less complicated"
Ken: "See!!! Already you are complicating things…It has to be SIMPLE..one word only"
Ilse: "Um, yeah. You are right" (words that Ken only gets to hear from me maybe once every year!!)
So after Steffen and Ken both threw my PHD (which I haven't used in years) at me a few times I got it. Steffen even suggested that I "should try to be as stupid as him"..now what can you say to that??? I chose a smile and silence…until he lost half the clinic money and then found it the next day exactly where he had put it…that sort of stupidity I can emulate, no problem!!
Training insights to follow.
