Pretty On The Outside or POTO got a chance to question McPain on a few issues. Here goes.......
POTO: McPain, are you for gay rights?
McPain: Hell no.
POTO: Do you think creationism should be taught in schools?
McPain: Yes.
POTO: Are you for gun control?
McPain: No and I mean no.
POTO: Are you for a woman's right to choose?
McPain: No. Final answer.

I'm POTO, and I approve this posting!
This is a continuation of the posting about the devastatingly beautiful woman I encountered on my way to the restroom in a Las Vegas casino. You never know when the Lord will show you some of his greatness. That tall, drunk, oddly shaped, never has used sun screen- vision has been on my mind ever since I was fortunate enough to lay eyes on her. I wonder what's she doing right now? Touching up her makeup from the night before? Hailing a cab home after waking up in a strange motel far from the strip? Playing the slot machines wondering where the god damn cocktail waitress is? Whenever she is, and whatever she's doing, I hope she's happy.
I've decided to have a bit of fashion fun with my new muse since that kind of thing makes me happy. Who doesn't love a makeover? I've dressed her in three fashion forward outfits all from spring 2008 Couture Collections. The first is a gold sequined jumpsuit by Jean Paul Gaultier.
Snazzy, sexy, flirty..... she's ready for action in this getup.
What's good about this outfit?
Ummm.....well...... she seems to be having fun it. I imagine, though, she'd have fun in just about anything.
What's bad about this outfit?
It's perhaps a little too body revealing? Jumpsuits certainly aren't for everyone. Plus you can barely see her Playboy bunny boob tattoo. Wait, maybe that goes in the good category?
Moving on.......
Next, I've place this Las Vegas trophy in a Chanel gown.
Daring, droopy, disappointing.... she'd ready for a funeral or an evening playing black jack.
What's good about this outfit?
It's easy to get out of it quickly in case she gets lucky. It already looks pretty tattered so if it gets cigarette burns on it, no one will notice. Also, the right boob flap thing is a great place to set an ashtray.
What's bad about this outfit?
It seemingly accentuates all her trouble spots. Strapless is no good on her and neither is a short skirt.
There's one more look if you follow the link.......

Every time I see Michael Jackson I think, OK, he just can't get any weirder. This has got to be as far as the crazy train goes. And then the next time I see him--- weirder! I think he looks like Jacqueline Smith in that lower right photo. Sorry Jacqueline. I wonder what he'll look like next year? In 5 years? And I shudder to imagine what he'll morph into in 10 years?
I've certainly had my share of fun drawing him--- Sorry Michael, you make it way, way, way too easy. A face like that begs to be drawn. I think the upper left corner answers my question of what he'll look like in 10 years.

Alan Bennett Ilagan is a free lance writer, photographer, and blogger. He's gearing up for his first solo exhibition at The Romaine Brooks Gallery. Go Alan go! The opening reception will be held Friday September 5th as part of first Friday Art Walk in Albany, NY.
Alan was recently named Best-Dressed man in Albany by the readers of Times Union, however, you won't see much of those cloths in his photos. I doubt anyone will complain about that. Alan left a comment on my site about a year ago and I followed the link back to his blog. I've been a loyal reader ever since. His site is a voyeuristic peak into the life, mind, and work of a talented young man. Make sure you check out his gallery page. Grab a glass of wine, a tea, or a coffee and prepared to fall head first into his world. You'll be glad you did
Please follow the below link to see a collage I created using some images from Alan's show as well as a few photos I snatched from his site.
Alan, I hope your show is a huge success and that you'll sell all your photos! Best of luck friend. And I know this is the first of many more exhibits.
It was brother's birthday this past weekend so he, his wife, their
sumptuous pug, my bf and I all piled in my brother's car and drove to Las Vegas for a fun filled three day weekend. It's a mere four hour drive from LA which were full of laughter, fast food, and pug farts (well, I blamed the dog). When it comes to Vegas,
I have a strict policy which is: once every three years for a weekend.
That's all I can take. If I follow that rule then I can look past
most of the grosser qualities of that city and have fun. The
last time I was there was a year ago and after that trip I vowed to not
go back for at least another five years, however, I love my brother and that's where he wanted to spend his birthday. So off we went.
Las Vegas and I have never been a
perfect fit. I don't gamble, I'm not into $200 massages, and I'm
really bothered by paying $4 for a coffee or $5 for a plain bagel. The
themed casinos confuse me. I'm also a delicate flower that wilts
when the temp is above 90 degrees and I believe the average was 105 while
we were there. Now I'm not a total Debbie Downer when it comes to that
town--- I have a love for the flashy, the tacky, and the skanky which Vegas
has in unbelievable excess. All that, and I like to drink. My
grandfather was a raging alcoholic so I felt like me and my brother
were somehow connecting with our heritage by overindulging.
Saturday night we saw Cirque Du Soleil's Love at The
Mirage, which was fairly lame. Sorry. I've enjoyed other Cirque shows
like: "O" and Zumanity, but this one seemed a bit like a Saturday Night
Live spoof. Not helping the experience was the loud, drunk woman seated behind us who kinda knew the words to all the
songs and basically screamed out the lyrics through the entire show.
What The Mirage offers though is some of the best Vegas people watching I've ever taken in. On my way to the restroom before the show I encountered this goddess.....
.... and stood frozen in my tracks.

The interesting thing about checking blogs is you never know what breaking gossip stories you'll discover. I guess that's why many of us check them constantly. I spend way, way, way too much time clicking and searching and hoping to find something enjoyable. Often the news is awfully awful, but sometimes it can be awfully great. Well, this morning I read something pretty great. It's rumored that Cher is up for the part of Catwoman in the next installment of the Batman series, directed by Christopher Nolan. If that's true, she'd be joining Johnny Depp who is already signed on to play the The Riddler.
A studio executive said: "Cher is Nolan's first choice to play Catwoman. He wants to portray her like a vamp in her twilight years. The new Catwoman will be the absolute opposite of Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry's purring creations."
Oh......... that sounds absolutely fantastic! I think Cher is the perfect choice for that role. Now if they'd just cast The LadyBunny as Batgirl and Chad White as Robin, then I'd be all set.
The inspiration for this posting comes from my blog buddies Steph and Alek at Oh La La Mag.
First glance at the above Michael Phelps Sports Illustrated cover made them have the following reaction:
OMG I don't know about you but when I scrolled down this page my twisted mind first saw Michael Phelps in a sexy red evening dress ... LOL! Of course what appears to be the top of an evening dress is just his 8 gold medals from Beijing for the cover of Sport Illustrated ;-)
How could I pass up such a wonderful photoshop opportunity?
My other half brought that Sports Illustrated magazine home a couple of hours ago and all I could see was a Project Runway-ish design challenge. Turn those gold medals and red ribbons into an evening gown that is equal parts fabulous, fashionable, and swimable. Not sure if this is win worthy, but here goes.....
Personally, I'd rock the hell out of that outfit. I do acknowledge that I'm playing with fire here. Mr Phelps is right up there with Oprah and Jesus at the moment and I mean no disrespect to him. I'm just round the clock silly.
There's one more image if you follow the link below. Both are scanned Sports Illustrated covers with digital manipulation, a large coffee, and too much free time.
