Dude Looks Like a Lady
D.C. Drag Race 2011
Drag Queens galore slap on their size 13 heels and race down 17th Street
Halloween is a time where children dress up as superheroes and princesses, boys dress like girls and girls dress like sluts. At the annual D.C. Drag Race, anything goes and drag queens reign supreme.
Date: Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Location: 17th Street (near Dupont Circle)
Race Time: 9 PM
Traditionally held on the Tuesday before Halloween, this annual neighborhood event features elaborately costumed drag queens racing up 17th Street (from Church to Q streets) and attracts thousands.
The race begins at 9, but the crowd gathers hours before as the drag queens show off their ladies’ finest and get hammered. There’s nothing that says Halloween better than running into 50 Sarah Palins, plently of Chers, Madonnas, and adult babies all the while drinking out of red plastic cups!
To get a street-side seat at an on-course cafe like JR’s or the Fox & Hounds, stake out your spot by 6, and certainly no later than 7. (There’s plenty of space along the sidewalk, though crowds often block the view.) The informal block party continues long after the last the race.

Fill My Cups!
Free Drinks for Ladies
According to your cup size?
Often in the nightclub world, girls with certain ‘assets’ get in for free, get free drinks, get to hang out in jail-like DJ booths, but there is so specific guarantee right? Wrong!
A Singapore nightclub, OverEasy, gives ladies free drinks according to their God given, or not so natural breast size. According to the China Press, “Fill My Cups” nights have been held at the OverEasy nightclub and are promoted with posters proclaiming “Booze for your boobs.”
The club named the gimmick after one its guest deejays aptly dubbed DJ DCUP and has been called both humorous and distasteful.
“I think the concept is funny but I would not degrade myself by being a part of it,” said a 19-year-old women to The New Paper, a local newspaper. Another woman said to the paper that she did not think it would be “embarrassing” to be judged on her bra cup size. “After all, I’m rather proud of my assets.”
According to reports the free drink nights work like this: there are two judges, a man and a woman, who visually determine each woman’s cup size. Talk about trumping the pushy Victoria’s Secret bra size fitters.
A Cup= 1 free drink
B Cup= 2 free drinks
C Cup= 3 free drinks
D Cup= a free bottle of vodka
Hangovers courtesy of your friends at OverEasy!
There is no report as to how or if the judges test for falsies or cleverly placed tissues, but the criteria for a free bottle give away must be pretty steep, maybe a poke or two. Let’s hope a “Pack It In My Pants” night isn’t soon to follow!
Celebrities Who Should and Shouldn’t Take Their Clothes Off…
The Rack
The Best and Worst of Celebrity Fashion Lines
Celebrity clothing lines are a dime a dozen nowadays, with their celebrity names to push them onto the public’s radar it seems like they should all be successful. But just like actor’s trying to become rock stars, some should have stuck with their day jobs. Anyone catch the latest Bacon Brother’s (Kevin Bacon’s band) concert? Didn’t think so. However, for the hundreds of failing lines, there are some that have become major players in the fashion world. Here are some of the best and the worst.
Best
L.A.M.B. -Gwen Stefani
L.A.M.B (love, angel, music, baby) fashion line by Gwen Stefani, the lead vocalist of the rock band No Doubt. Stefani created the fashion line back in 2003, originally as collaboration with LeSportsac. When it initially debuted at Nordstrom, the line sold out in three days and Nordstrom calls it the most successful launching of a line in the store’s history. The higher prices of Stefani’s designer label have never seemed to deter her fans.
Where to buy: Nordstrom
Price: Fairly expensive ($70-$300)
House of Harlow & Winter Kate– Nicole Richie
With a glamorous father like Lionel Richie, it’s no wonder that adopted daughter Nicole cultivated her artistic side with a career in fashion. Despite a rocky entry into the celebrity spotlight following her appearance alongside Paris Hilton in The Simple Life — in addition to public struggles with drug abuse and DUI arrests — the starlet has been able to repair her reputation and build a successful fashion empire.
In 2008, Richie launched her boho-chic jewelry line, House of Harlow 1960, which has grown to include sunglasses and shoes. In 2008, Richie added a ready-to-wear collection called Winter Kate, which includes footwear, jewelry, eyewear and handbags.
Where to buy: Neiman Marcus
Price: Expensive ($70-$400)
Madonna- Material Girl
When you think of Material Girl you usually think of Madonna’s smash hit song from 1985. But Madge also has her clothing line, by the same name that she launched with her daughter Lourdes. The clothes mainly appeal to juniors. But, with Kelly Osbourne, daughter of The Prince of Darkness and now celebrity host on E! Entertainment’s “Fashion Police” as the face of the line’s new campaign, the line is gaining more popularity.
Where to buy: Macy’s
Price: Cheap ($15-$100)
Jessica Simpson
She certainly didn’t make it as a singer in recent years, and the thought that she ever dated John Mayer is a maor fail in and of itself, but Jessica Simpson reigns supreme in the fashion world. Her empire is projected to make history this year, by becoming the first ever celebrity fashion line to earn one billion dollars in annual sales.
The singer-turned fashion designer’s clothing line raked in an astonishing $750 million dollars in sales last year, making it the top selling celebrity clothing empire. The Texas native launched her Jessica Simpson Collection in 2007 with a line of handbags, shoes and boots. She has since expanded it to include watches, clothing, cosmetics, luggage, bathing suits, and fragrances, which are all sold in major department stores across America.

Price: Moderate ($50-$150)
Kardashian Kollection
Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are already successful reality television stars and spokesmodels and now the sisters are expanding their foray into fashion with a line of affordable clothing for Sears. Launching this month, the Kardashian “Kollection” has something for women of every shape and size. The sisters say there is something in the “Kollection” for every woman’s style whether it is glamorous, classic, bohemian or rocker chic. The line includes over 40 apparel pieces, 60 jewelry items, 30 handbags and 12 shoe styles, all under 150 bucks!
Where to buy: Sears
Price: Moderate (all under $150)
Worst
Lindsay Lohan-6126
It’s no surprise that Lindsay’s fashion line is a big fail. The starlet is more famous for her struggles with drugs, alcohol, and lesbians than her acting career. Her line is basically leggings and…yeah that’s about it. She quotes Marilyn Monroe on her website and says that she inspired the line. The only thing the two have in common is an inevitable death at an early age.

Price: Moderate ($50-$150)
Heidi Montag- Heidiwood for Anchor Blue
Heidiwood is basically a casual clothing line by Anchor Blue with Montag’s name slapped on the label. It would not be a surprise if Montag was contacted by the company to go up as a direct rival against Lauren Conrad’s clothing line. What a great marketing strategy- to capitalize on the feud between Lauren and Heidi. To no surprise, her douche bag, invisi-beard husband Spencer was up her butt following her around at the premiere of the line at Kitson’s in Hollywood.
Where to buy: Kitson (http://shopkitson.com/)
Price: Very Cheap ($10-$60)
Sarah Jessica Parker- BITTEN
Sarah Jessica Parker’s budget line Bitten, which was sold exclusively at the now bankrupt Steve & Barry’s, is likely to become a distant memory for the popular Sex in the City actress. Poor Carrie Bradshaw would be crying in her Minolo’s over this fail. However, there be better fashion days on the horizon now that she has signed on as a fashion designer for Halston. According to Women’s Wear Daily, Sarah Jessica Parker will become president and chief creative officer of Halston Heritage, a line inspired by vintage Halston looks.
Where to buy: No longer available, but you can find items for sale on Ebay or Amazon
Price: Very Cheap ($10-$60)
Avril Lavigne- Abbey Dawn
Avril broke onto the scene as a young, skater girl teen in 2002 with a punk rock attitude and a fashion sense to go along with it. Now in 2011, as a 26-year-old woman, her fashion sense remained somewhere in 2002 at the skate park. If you like skulls, glitter, and graffiti, then Abby Dawn is where you’ll want to shop. Now Avril and her boyfriend Brody Jenner can skate off into the sunset together with matching hoodies.
Where to buy: http://abbeydawn.com/
Price: Cheap ($20-$60)
Beyonce- House of Dereon
House of Dereon pays homage to “Deréon”, Beyonce’s maternal grandmother and that is the only nice thing to say about the collection. Many people think Beyonce can do no wrong. Well, she did. House of Dereon is just ugly. Every piece has too much going on; too many buttons, ties, and logos. Beyonce says it’s “where catwalk meets sidewalk.” Maybe the “sidewalk” at the bad side of town, because frankly, its just ghetto. But Beyonce just won’t go away, and now with her new baby on the way, it looks like we are in for a long lifetime of annoying booty popping Beyonce spawns.

It’s too bad “Malibu Dave” by David Hasslehoff never took off!
Pot Wine Ushers New Breed of Fatter Lazier People
Marijuana & Wine
Together at Last?
Just when you think the cosmos have peaked with the ultimate in famous combinations- chocolate and peanut butter, salt and pepper, Sonny and Cher, those clever Californians come back at you with Marijuana Wine. As if the DEA and the FDA didn’t have enough problems.
Rumor has it Wine Country has been at this concoction for quite sometime, but until Gourmet broke the newest invention, only the true insiders and VIPS were in the loop.
“In wine country, pot-infused wines are the open secrets that present themselves in unmarked bottles at the end of winemaker dinners and very VIP tours.”
Imagine, if Robert Deniro went on a private tour of “such and such” winery, he would get the secret tour, into the private cellar where no doubt Betty White, Madonna, and Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt would be sipping on the secret super VIP stash of Marijuana wine out of an unmarked bottle. All the while, the average Joe would be stuck outside on a rough wool blanket sipping out of Styrofoam and waiting for the party bus to come back and scoop him up.
This revolutionary concoction—which is called either “special wine” or “green wine” or “tree wine”—is crafted in pretty much the way you’d imagine it would be. Says one anonymous chef,
“I know a winemaker that takes a couple of barrels a year and puts a ton of weed in it and lets it steep, and that wine is just super potent.”
Just what the world needs, the Uber generation of even lazier and more heavily overweight people. But, unless you are a true VIP (which you probably are not) or a wine maker, or living in the future, the closest you will likely come is making the combo in your own mouth.
Please note marijuana is illegal in D.C. (unless you have a Rx which resulted from being diagnosed from one of the following approved conditions: HIV, AIDS, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, cancer, other conditions that are chronic, long-lasting, debilitating, or that interfere with the basic functions of life, serious medical conditions for which the use of medical marijuana is beneficial, patients undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and is not being endorsed.
Ryan Seacrest wants to go ‘Glowsticking’ with Tiesto
Ryan Seacrest attempts to Interview Tiesto…
and he FAILS…
miserably…
In a radio interview of Tiesto by Ryan Seacrest on his radio show based in Los Angeles, “On Air with Ryan Seacrest”, on Wednesday, Seacrest showed he is more skilled at interviewing the Kardashians about their Sear’s clothing line than anything to do with electronic music. Named the World’s Biggest DJ by Mixmag magazine in London, Tiesto was on the radio show to promote his upcoming College Invasion Tour.
Throughout the interview Seacrest made himself appear as if Wilfred Brimley (the old man from the Oatmeal commercials and Cocoon) was interviewing Tiesto. He was obviously clueless about the electronic music scene and also had a rough time at the controls.
He opened up the show with saying “Wow this guy gets what like 10 million ‘likes’ on Facebook?” As if that’s what makes him a great DJ, then said, “do the ladies like a little Tiesto”, in a dirty porn voice.
Furthering the barf factor, every time Seacrest or his sidekick asked Tiesto a question, a Tiesto track would blast in interrupting Tiesto’s attempt to answer the questions, which garnered awkward giggles from Tiesto.
To make the interview even more hilarious and awesome, Seacrest said, “One of these days we got to pack up the station wagon… and go glow sticking”. Excuse me, glow sticking? Is that a verb? Also, Forbes reported that Seacrest brought home $51 million last year, so unless he owns a station wagon factory…
Then he asked, again the World’s Biggest DJ, “What is the best way to rage?” How did Seacrest prepare for this interview, by brushing up on a copy of Tiger Beat from 1984? Rage?
As if Seacrest wasn’t annoying enough, his sidekick kept chiming in with equally ignorant questions. For example, a clip from Tiesto’s track Maximal Crazy played and she asked Tiesto “do we ever get mellow just to like bring it down?” Yes, yes he does, mid set Tiesto will slow it down for the ladies and blast Hello by Lionel Richie.
To make matters worse, Seacrest asked Tiesto if he ‘makes love’ to this ‘type of music’. To think of former McButter Pants Seacrest (he was a hefty adolescent) ‘making love’ to Tiesto, or any music, well… <shutters>
Finally, Seacrest wonders out loud (unfortunately) whether Tiesto and fellow world famous DJ David Guetta are friends or rivals. To which Tiesto answered, “We are not enemies, we are friends. We are completely different. He is more in the R&B world and I’m more in the indie rock world. So, it is a different kind of style, but we are definitely good friends and colleagues.”
So all is well in the electronic music brotherhood. Tiesto is putting on a huge event this Saturday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California for The Club Life College Invasion Tour playing to 26,000 people.
Make sure to listen to the full interview to hear what a tool Ryan Seacrest was during this interview and especially to hear how Seacrest pronounces “Tiesto” in the final seconds.
Saam’s Corner | Sexy Rexy
This is my weekly rant on the Redskins…The Topic: Sexy Rexy.
You wanna ride him for not playing great the last 2 weeks, fine. So be it…I won’t disagree with your points you make. But if you’re going rip him for his performance the last 2 weeks, you better praise him for winning the games for us the first two weeks of the season when he lead us on two come from behind drives against the giants and 2 more the next week against the cardinals. I’m not saying he’s joe montana here and he’s probably not going to be our starter moving forward next year, but one thing he’s capable of doing is winning a game for you. Something that John Beck has proven that he CAN’T do (winless in his career as a starter in the nfl).
People make the argument that beck is more “mobile” and say some BS about how he’s more effective running a bootleg…COME ON!!! Are you serious right now??? Mobility isn’t the key to being succesful in the NFL as a starting QB. Just ask the eagles how they’re doing with Mike Vick and Vince Young. By my account, the eagles have lost 2 games simply because of vick’s inability to stay healthy due to his “mobility.” Having a crappy O-line doesnt help either, but how is this situation with vick any different than what we had with Jason Campbell?? And we ran him out of D.C.
No matter what Rex Grossman does, he will always be the scapegoat. Has he played amazing? No, of course not, there’s always room for improvement, but you can’t sit here and say that we’d be be BETTER with John Beck when he’s already PROVEN that he can’t win a game in the NFL and couldn’t even beat out rex in the preseason. Don’t blame GROSSMAN because he’s the best QB on our Roster! Blame Shanahan for not DRAFTING a QB.
We’re 3-1…take it and move on. We have a bye week coming up and we’re playing an Eagles team that is susceptible to the run! If you told me as a Skins fan that we could be 4-1 after 6 weeks and we still haven’t even played our best football. I would’ve told you that you were INSANE. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

Bulletproof Breasts
Silicone Breast Implants Saved
Lives
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The family fight that would have ended with the woman’s death if it had not been for her silicon implants.
October is breast cancer awareness month. About 39,840 women in the U.S. were expected to die in 2010 from breast cancer, though death rates have been decreasing since 1990. Let’s take a look at some breast (implants) that actually saved women’s lives.
A 40-year-old Russian woman’s breast implant reportedly saved the woman’s life after her husband stabbed her this weekend. Her breast implants were so big that they stopped his knife from piercing any of her vital organs. Surgeons that operated on the woman said the man stabbed his wife in the heart, but the knife stuck in the woman’s silicon breast, which saved her life.
This is not the first time a bulletproof breast implant saved women’s lives. In 2010, a silicone breast implant saved the life of a California woman who was shot in the chest by a gunman.
“She’s just one lucky woman,” said Dr. Ashkan Ghavami. “The bullet fragments were millimeters from her heart and her vital organs. Had she not had the implant, she might not be alive today.
This may be a great selling point for boyfriends or surgeons trying to pump up girls worldwide. Or the new Kevlar for lady cops!
Breast cancer awareness month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer. For more information visit The National Breast Cancer Foundation site and do something to support the research and study of breast cancer.
