A Year Ago on Lose That Girl

~~ Owen Hargreaves on Teammates

It's been a tough year for this United fan - no Owen Hargreaves. Troubling injuries that never went away until surgery in the US rescued his career. Now, he's in the midst of training for *next* season with Manchester United. In the meantime, any glimpse of Owen that was uncovered was a big deal. Can you blame me?

RATE IT! To Look at You

The first time I ever saw INXS live was during the summer of 1984 -- an opening slot for The Go-Go's began a life-long love of the band that flourished until the passing of lead singer, Michael Hutchence (I refuse to classify the current line-up with that reality show goof as INXS -- sorry).

This video was shot around 1983 by the looks of the band, and features one of their best tracks "To Look at You" from one of my desert island discs, "Shabooh Shoobah". Before they got too famous, before they dated supermodels... here's what INXS was all about. Enjoy.

HATE IT! Where's Waldo Tee

I'm all for games of hide & seek but this tee should just get lost.

Where's Waldo? Apparently he's on this Hollywood themed t-shirt. Tucked in with various seedy characters (a mummy, cowboy, etc), the red-chapeau'd one is lurking, waiting patiently to be discovered. 

If it wasn't bad enough that this shirt is rather unfortunate looking, all crowded ugly artwork ...but the worst part is that it will invite pervy types to stare at your chest for an uncomfortable amount of time. Who wants some jerk pouring over your boobs, looking for Waldo? Ugh... the perfect tee for women who want creepy attention, and the men who slobberingly like to dish it out. Ew.

RATE IT! More Scenes Like This One, Please

May 27th might feel like any other Spring day to many but to Manchester United supporters like myself... it's one of the most important, stressful & exciting days of the year.

The Champions League final - today in Rome. Manchester United (bless!) v. Barcelona. The best in Europe going head-to-head. 

Hoping, wishing, turning inside out in anticipation.... for more scenes like this one. Over to you, Ronaldo & Rooney!

RATE IT! Lipstick Jungle Season 2 DVDs

I'm still peeved that NBC cancelled the fabulous and improving 'Lipstick Jungle'. The show really began to find its stiletto'd feet but NBC squashed it without listening to the viewer fanbase. For shame! Seems smart women don't have a place on TV screens nowadays.

Now all we have left are the DVDs...  the season 2 set came out at the beginning of this month. Well worth a peek, season 2 is much MUCH stronger, more fun and cheeky than season 1. And yes, Andrew McCarthy has aged *really* well!

RATE IT! So Long ~~ Sissy

Here's a Friday treat! Wicked animation courtesty of this hypnotic video by Sissy. Canadian band, 100% fabulous. Enjoy!
