Fox News Host: Americans "Keep Marrying Other Species" (VIDEO) - The Huffington Post, July 8, 2009Those of you who think Al Sharpton is not letting racism die in our country, take a look at this clip and ask yourself what a real racist sounds like. By "species", I gather Brian Kilmeade meant the interracial marriages between human beings and the reptilian Draco people descended from Alpha

From Guerlain comes yet another 2009 launch, La Petite Robe Noire (little black dress), a Fruity Gourmand (Oriental) based on a hypersweet musk accord. Housed in the classic Belle Epoque bottle (the same one as L'Heure Bleue and Mitsouko) with a picture of a little black dress quite literally printed on its face, this fragrance is clearly one of the newer generation...Read on at The Examiner:

Behind the Facade by Bob Herbert, The New York Times, July 3, 2009 I have great respect for Bob Herbert, and it is a delight to read his analysis of the degradation of values through passing generations, tracing down the path using musical analogies from Motown to Hip Hop, all in connection with his opinions about Michael Jackson, the celebrity he'd met once. It's an interesting piece - a

I dedicate this post to all of the wonderful boomers who came out to attack Michael Jackson's music in the wake of his death. Thank you for kicking us in the teeth while we were down. We'll always remember how we felt during this time, and remember you collectively as the caricature above. You should know most people, even in your generation, have moved on since 1979 - all except for the most

Sorry for the long hiatus, but like many of you, I've been feeling gutted since Michael Jackson's passing, and only today have I really had my schnoz back. First of all, Happy July 4th! I'm pleased to announce I've discovered some exciting new fragrances, all of them from the legendary House of Guerlain. I'm going to briefly review each fragrance in the Guerlain Les Voyages Olfactifs (2009)

I came across a Gen Y (Millenial) post about how she feels Gen X is not enough of a team player to be as relevant as her Gen Y group, a more idealistic, optimistic demographic which understands that it's Idealism that changes the world. I'm sorry, but being an evil Gen Xer, I missed that memo. You wouldn't know it's my generation that's accepted Yoko Ono's conceptual art as being real art.

Michael Jackson was much more than a Pop icon, more than a great performer. He was an artist with a complete vision of his craft, a master singer, composer, dancer and legitimate Soul R&B singer long before he was a solo Pop star.The music speaks for itself about why he attained fame. Say what you want about the gossip if that's what you're about, but give the man his musical creds as the

People mourn Michael's death because we loved his music and were moved by it. To dissect and judge such appreciation for Music shows the vapidity of those who think themselves highly.For many people, his music was their food. People who think there's something wrong with that obviously have no understanding of what love of music is. These are the same kinds of people who think musicians should

RIP Michael Jackson, the greatest recording artist and performer of all time whose music was always a message of love and peace. The world mourns now. He and his music will be remembered with love forever. I'm so sad he's gone...still can't believe an era is truly gone. Let it not be forgotten he was also a songwriter. Many of his hits including Beat It, Billie Jean and Wanna Be Startin'

There are a lot of things I haven't talked about because, as Octavian Coifan of 1000 fragrances has said, he doesn't think he has paranoia yet, and still, it's clear the fragrance industry is tuning into the blogosphere for inspirations, and will often steal ideas from creative minds on the web.
