Classic Beauty: Julie Adams
Was there ever a screen name that says “All-Murkin Gal” any better than “Julie Adams”? And the original Betty May Adams was from Iowa, even better.
“Who she, Kim?” you may ask.
Well, old-time movie fans would know her as the hottie from Creature From The Black Lagoon, but I’ll show those pics at the end. Here she is:
That All-American Girl thing:
But on with the good stuff we go.
…wait, here’s a better one, with a Mauser:
And those Black Lagoon pics?
Scary.
Situation Vacant
Lando Norris’ model ex-girlfriend Margarida Corceiro shows off her incredible figure in a tiny blue bikini after split from Formula One world champion
Well, of course she would. Her meal ticket has gone away, so now she has to put the merchandise back in the window.
It must be said, however, that without the current F1 World Championship and all his money, young Lando would not be regarded as much of a catch.
But it just goes to show that no matter how beautiful or attractive a woman may be, there’s always at least one guy who’s sick of all her bullshit. Although, speaking personally, I think she’s completely unattractive: way too skinny and no superstructure to speak of. But that’s models for ya.
And About Time, Too
Saith Reader Mike G (who sent me this little piece): “I just read this and thought it might interest you…”
Diamonds and the prestige that they’ve held for literal millennia are starting to slip. And the reason why is an interesting mix of cultural shifts, economics, and technology. Let’s break it down.
Since practically the beginning of time, diamonds have been sold as something bigger than a luxury product. They held this image and idea of permanence, romance, rarity, and status. Heck, even royalty. But now that image is slipping big time.
Natural diamond prices have fallen sharply, and lab-grown stones have dropped even harder. Just to put it in perspective, a natural diamond now costs 26% less than it did two years ago, and lab-grown diamonds are now 74% cheaper than in 2020.
That’s not just a small dip. That’s a massive fall from grace.
And of course, the company that’s being hit hardest is… [drum roll] my favorite corporation:
De Beers, the biggest name in diamonds, reported last month that it began 2024 with a huge $2bn stockpile of diamonds and had not managed to shift it by the year’s end. The company has cut production in its mines by 20%, and its owner, Anglo American, has put it up for sale.
Wait, wait… [pause to let my howls of scornful laughter die down]
So their $2 billion has magically turned to… errrr what’s the price of gravel, again?
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of thuggish shitbirds, say I. And how I really feel about all this?
For my earlier rants about them, go here and here. Oh, and here.
Well, So Long Blondie
I guess DJT figured she just wasn’t working quickly enough to prosecute all the Obama/Biden-era bullshit that was heaped on him and all the rest of us. And I have just the right person for the AG’s job: me.
Yes I know I’m not a lawyer. The DoJ’s got whole buildings full of ’em, and where’s that got anyone?
What the nation needs right now is someone to manage all these assholes legal eagles and get them pointed in the right direction: and I’m just the right guy to do it.
Give me two things — okay, just one (I’ve got the 1911 thing all covered). What I need is an industrial-strength cattle prod, the kind that shocks the bejeezus out of you with just a light touch, and renders you unconscious with any kind of prolonged touch.
Then let me loose in the DOJ, armed with that cattle prod and a copy of the U.S. Constitution, and watch me. Even Tom Homan would get a little nervous around me. And watch the ticket prices soar when Congress summons me to testify on some bullshit issue or another. I’m talking standing room only, bubba.
I used to think I’d make a good Press Secretary. But DJT’s got that covered with the other blondie, and she’s excellent. Nah, I want a position that gets me to kick actual ass all over the room, and the DA’s job seems about right.
Now if I get the job, I don’t want y’all profiting from the announcement: in other words, don’t buy shares in the textile companies that make them orange prison jump suits (if they’re still not all made in China).
The real fun will start when the Clintons and their ilk start looking for a friendly country to escape to.
Hey, it could happen. [/Judy Tenuta]
