Afternoon Yellow | 01.19 - Too Much Booze, Boobs


Can you believe we've only got one day left of George W. Bush running this country? I carded him once, but he issued an executive order removing my card from the record. So, now you know.

- The "world's finest liquid reservoir ski pole" is the Coldpole, which allows you to hit the slopes with approximately 16 oz of your libation of choice concealed within the handle of your ski poles. I'll tell you what, that bare-ass guy hanging upside down from a ski lift makes a lot more sense. The Coldpole cautioned per Sec. B-1 for being a genuinely bad idea.

- Chile is "outraged" over Ricardo Oyarzun's upcoming fashion show in which the Chilean designer intends to dress female models a la the Virgin Mary. And, as if Biblically-themed outfits in a spring fashion lineup wasn't shocking enough, Oyarzun's models have a certain je ne sais quoi perhaps best translated as: cleavage. I can't imagine where he got the idea that Chile would tolerate such flesh-toned nonsense.

Chile's Episcopal Conference responded to Oyarzun's show with the following: "We look on with special pain and deplore those acts which seek to tarnish manifestations of sincere love toward the Virgin Mary, which end up striking at the dignity of womankind by presenting her as an object of consumption." Clearly this is a bunch that doesn't watch a lot of Chilean television. Chile's Episcopal Conference cautioned per Sec B-2 for too little, way too late.
