Why not?

Have you discovered the Katee Owen GIFs?

I have. Although, I'm not sure how many I've posted and how many are in my reserves. Her body is unfair.

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

I found an old picture of me with Sparklehorse at the Dukakis Victory 88 party.

Alas, it all ended for us that night -- she said he lost because of Lee Attwater and Willie Horton and Bernie Shaw; I unwisely responded that he lost because he was a humorless little robotic weenie, blah blah blah.

Sure, we had the occasional late night "read my lips" phone conversation after that debacle, but it was never the same.

Confidential to Sebby: No, she does not look like Roger Daltrey with tits. Nor is she a horse face. I have had a thing for her since Square Pegs.

She did, however, make the wrong choice in the "face or ass" conundrum that DebtSlave first explained to me (although I know she was quoting someone else). Nonetheless, I'd go to the Met Gala with her.

So I can Keep track of the visions in my eyes.*

More old pictures: a young Sebby, introducing an even younger Coltrane to the demimonde.

*I know!

Time, time, time; see what's become of me.

Slave and Paigow, getting ready to canoodle at Moomba:

Somewhere out on that horizon. Out beyond the neon lights.

No joke for this one; it's just a great picture.

Re: Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!

So I have a day to spend in Minneapolis/St.Paul with a 21 year old. What to do/see? Baseball sure, but there must be something special that we really need to see?

Classy cat like you, there's only one option: Mall of America.

Kidding aside, it is Fair season, so if you really want to do it up local style, that's the ticket. Wander around looking at vaguely agricultural products, home improvement stuff and animals while eating unusual fried foods on a stick.

If you don't want to do the Fair, there's outdoors and art (and art outdoors). I quite like the Minneapolis riverfront for the beauty of the falls and river and the glimpses of the city's milling past. The Mill City Museum is a decent way to get some of that background before you stroll around Mill Ruins Park, across the Stone Arch Bridge and around St Anthony Main and Nicollet Island. You can get up close and personal to the power of the river in the park of Nicollet Island or the other park next to the power plant (can't remember what they named it).

As to art, the Minneapolis Institute of Art is excellent (and free if you're a cheap bastard like me). In addition to your usual paintings and stuff the have some cool exhibits on design and architecture, in particular covering the Prairie School, so you can know to be on the look out for it around town. If modern art is more your style (it's not always mine), people always rave about the Walker. And you can take in some outdoor art, and see the iconic cherry spoon bridge, in the sculpture garden across the street.

For more outdoors, a walk, run, bike or even drive around Lake of the Isles to check out the mansions and the pretty setting is worthwhile. As is standing in line to order some food at Sea Salt before taking in the Minnehaha Creek Falls.

Otherwise, your downtown nightlife is around First Ave North (or at First Avenue) and the Wharehouse District. Or in Uptown. Or Check out Nye's Polonaise for the piano bar, the decor that never changes a d one of the worst polka bands you've ever heard being inexplicably enjoyed by a crowd that tends to include a lot of women, for some reason.

Re: Chile (Santiago and wine country)

India. Permit me to jump on this one:

Go. Once. The sensory overload is worth the gastric distress. Yes, you tell yourself, that was a tattooed camel followed by a painted elephant. Random things to know and do:

1. See a "trave'medical practice" before you go. You WILL have stomach issues. Immodium to quell,immediately upon symptom onset, and Cipro to cure. Over two weeks, the three day cycle is feeling fine, feeling hideous, feeling dehydrated, repeat. I have eaten street food in Beijing, Taiwan, and, alas, Cairo. Do not do this in India.

2. I was not a fan of Mumbai. But the Golden Triangle tour of the Mughal Empire in Dehli, Aggra, and Jaipur is astonishing. Hire a driver through a tour guide, and a local guide in each city. Insist on absolutely first class hotels, and eat there. The Amber Fort, outside Jaipur, the Red Fort, the Qutab Minar, the Ghandi memorial, and the Lotus Bahai Temple in Dehli, and many other regal redoubts boggle the mind. Special amazing site: the observatory Jantar Mantar in Jaipur.

3. To get to the Taj Mahal your driver will go to a parking lot and park. You take a bus to the gate. Last stop, before seeing what is arguably the most beautiful building in the world: A facility, with a sign with two foot tall letters, announcing that it is a leprosy hospital.

4. You will see human deformity the likes of which will sear your eyeballs and remain with you forever.

5. Driving from province to province, where in the USA one might pay a toll on the interstate, your driver may have to get out and fill out some paperwork. The lovely prostitutes on the traffic island, in two pounds of makeup, and beautiful saris, often, upon closer examination, have hairy chests. Stay in the car. Even if your tastes run to that sort of thing.

6. Read Shantaram when you get back. It won't seem like fiction. Well, at least until the Afghanistan part.

Yours in globehopping,

I'd rank her boobs in the top five in the history of the internet. That's quite a compliment.

Why? My wife wouldn't be upset if I was looking at a gif of a topless girl making her giant tits bounce up and down. Would yours?

It is, considering Diora Baird's, Keeley Hazel's, Salma Hayek's, Emily Ratakowski's, Kate Upton's, Brooklyn Decker's, Rhian Sugden's, and Danielle Sharp's boobs exist. And that's just off the top of my head.

But I wouldn't argue. Her ratio is fantastic.
