Breaking News: Science Calculations Reveal Everyone Is Gay
Saw this picture on imgur and just had to post it here, because this is without a doubt, one of the most badass women alive. Meet Katrina Hodge, a corporal in the British Army and Miss England 2009. According to Wikipedia, she enlisted back in 2004 after her brother challenged her to and earned the nickname “Combat Barbie” after showing up at her assigned unit wearing false eyelashes, kitten heels (whatever those are) and carry a pink suitcase. In 2005 her unit, the Royal Anglian Regiment, was deployed to Iraq, where she saved the lives of her comrades from a prisoner by wrestling not one, but two rifles from him and then knocking his ass out with her bare hands.
With her bare hands.
Then in 2009, she decided to compete in the Miss England competition to destroy stereotypes about women in the military. She didn’t win (she placed runner-up), but still became Miss England after the woman who did got into a fight and gave up the crown. While Miss England, Hodge convinced the people running the competition to ditch the bikini contest, because she felt that it was more important to be a role model than looking good in a bikini.
In 2010, she handed over the crown and returned to military service, being deployed to Afghanistan.
This woman is both a BAMF and a HBIC. Damn.
My favorite part about this is the expression on her face.
Like, homegirl knows.
oh man hott as hell

Dashiell Hammett
Hammett turned to drinking, advertising, and, eventually, writing.

Marilyn Manson
Manson launched “Mansinthe,” his own brand of Swiss made absinthe, which has received mixed reviews ranging from critics who compared the drink’s odor to sewage water and described the taste as being “as bad as piss”[24] to coming second to Versinthe in an Absinthe top 5[25] and winning a Gold medal at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Sidekick
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ( second book in the series) Ron Weasley was called Harry James Potter’s sidekick by Professor Severus Snape which was kind of true.
a good way to kill some time
So yesterday I was Googling some fashion stuff. This is rare for me. But we’re taking website photos today for my firm, and I wanted to look good. I wanted some fashion tips, and just generally have some fun picturing myself in extremely well-tailored and expensive suits.
I am too dumb to know fashion blogs or anything so I went straight to Google.
Exhibit A: (I’m too lazy to screencap, I’m just going to CP this):
Showing results for how to dress like a powerful businessman
Search instead for how to dress like a powerful businesswoman
Thanks, Google.
Exhibit B: mildly useful info via http://www.joyceyland.com/2010/12/how-to-dress-like-top-businesswoman.html
If you are a young woman / aspiring executive with a limited clothing budget, here’s your shopping list
* Dark suit with matching jacket, skirt and one pair of trousers
* The best tailored white collared shirt you can find
* A strand of pearls. (Nobody will notice high-quality fakes)
Okay, I can live with that, that’s the kind of thing I was looking for.
Exhibit C: Nonsense, via http://blog.lib.umn.edu/schac064/gwss/2008/12/how_to_dress_like_a_business_w_1.html
Your male coworkers should not feel that they could coax you into bed with little effort, but they should enjoy watching you walk down the hall.
oh, ok dudes, hope you like it! (My office is like 80% female and hallelujah for that).
Don’t be a ‘slut’. According to Sabath, the business woman always follows the ‘11 inch rule’: she makes sure there a skirt always has at least 11 inches of fabric covering the legs. With her world populated by powerful, amorous men, it is the business woman’s responsibility to keep herself attractive, yet inaccessible, never drawing the stares of her coworkers. No matter how fantastic your job performance, no one’s going to promote the cow if he can see more than a few inches of thigh for free!
This is very common advice. You need to be hot to get noticed, but not a slut.
This isn’t groundbreaking feminist criticism or anything. Just a mildly depressing way I spent an hour last night.
Cat massage
Cat massage has increased more and more in popularity given that there are cat massage therapists who are able to massage a cat by using the best techniques. Given that these therapists are actually trained and know what they are doing, it is obvious that cat massaging is important to the pet and also to the pet’s owner.
