A whole latte art

That’s almost as cool as the Guinness shamrock … and I say “almost” only because the shamrock is made from a tap pour of Guinness.

Crash a party with Keira Knightley

Apparently it’s really easy to get into the pre-Golden Globes Vanity Fair party — all you need is a packet of crisps … and of course, to be with Keira Knightley.

The Domino star turned up at the event on Monday (16Jan06) with seven friends, including her agent, despite only having two invites.

She says, “What’s a girl to do? I gave the security guys my best smile and confessed that there were eight of us and only two tickets.

“They said to me, ‘What else you got?’ and I said, ‘Well, we’ve got two packets of crisps,’ and they said, ‘OK, that’ll do.’

“So we wafted into the poshest party of the night with two packets of ready salted.”

It’s so good to look so good.

E3 says: Bye-bye booth babes

E3 says: Bye-bye booth babes

If you’re hoping to see smoking hot, scantily clad booth babes at this year’s E3 expo, think again. The organization has announed that they will be dealing out fines for over-exposing their, ahem, booth models.

Rules prohibiting the use of scantily clad young women to peddle video games are nothing new, but the handbook for this year’s show in May outlines tough new penalties, including a $5,000 fine on the spot for the booth owner if the “booth babe” is semi-clad.

The handbook from the Entertainment Software Association, the show’s promoter, says: “Material, including live models, conduct that is sexually explicit and/or sexually provocative, including but not limited to nudity, partial nudity and bathing suit bottoms, are prohibited on the show floor, all common areas, and at any access points to the show.”

As with all things surrounding “indecency,” the show promoters maintain that they alone will determine what is, and is not, acceptable.

Tori Praver is the next Guess girl

Move over Paris, Tori Praver is the next Guess girl. Tori, a local surfer girl from Maui, was discovered by Cindy Kauanui, owner of Jet Set Models. The eighteen-year-old from Lahainaluna High School will be taking over the Guess campaign starting Febraury 1st.

Kauanui said she noticed 18-year-old Praver turning up in photos sent to her by Maui photographers. “I wasn’t sure if she was really from Maui, and they didn’t know whether she lived there or was a tourist.”

But when Praver’s photo turned up in Outside magazine in a Hawaii girls feature that included another Jet Set client, Sanoe Lake, Kauanui called the photo director there to get her contact information.

Past Guess models include Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Anna Nicole Smith, Drew Barrymore, and the most recent Paris Hilton.

WholesomeWear or Wicked Weasel?

WholesomeWear or Wicked Weasel? v.s. WholesomeWear or Wicked Weasel?

On the one hand we have WholesomeWear:

WholesomeWear is a modest line of clothing for “wearever.” Our WaterWear is the first to be introduced because the need for modesty in swimwear is greatest and the supply is almost non-existant. Swimwear that “highlights the face, rather than the body” includes an undergarment with bright colors at the neck and shoulders to draw the eye to the face. The spandex undergarment fits like a body suit, while the loose fitting Taslan outer garment limints cling and adds modesty and style.

And on the other we have Wicked Weasel:

Wicked Weasel Pty Ltd is an Australian company engaged in the manufacture and distribution of high quality risque swimwear and underwear for women.

Our motivation is to provide a fun range of quality products for the benefit of women and their admirers, and the challenge of building a modern, ethical and socially responsible business in the new world economy.

So what’s your pick, WholesomeWear or Wicked Weasel? It’s a tough decision, so I’ll give you a little time to think about it…

Pandas get their freak on

Zoo officials in Thailand are hoping that porn will encourage the mating between two captive pandas.

Zoo administrator Prasertsak Puttrakul, who leads a team taking care of the pandas, noted they tend to live in isolation in the wild, and do not witness other pandas mating. “That’s why they are bound to extinction should there be no help,” he said.

Prasertsak has prepared a DVD of pandas having sexual intercourse to show the couple, hoping the demonstration — call it panda porn — will inspire them to make a love connection.

Pandas Gone Wild. This is bound to spark a whole new fetish…
