Arabian feminism grows and grows

4

There has always been a correlation between a culture’s treatment of women and it’s own brand of linguistics. This has prevailed on for way too far and even as the Arabic language is one of the most eloquent languages in the world there seems to be no way around using gender non-specific words. It’s time we removed gender from the vocabulary. That’s the only way to progress. You know, gender is an illusion.

Costume shop owner takes her job seriously

Cranston police are after this alleged cyberstalker. Ann Bruno, a local costume shop owner (wearing the rabbit costume), is accused of using a computer to harass another competitor in her town. NBC 10′s Jim Taricani attempted to question her about it. The video footage turned out to be an unusual interview. I like her assistant who was whole-heartedly on her side! I always thought that people who work in costume shops must have a great sense of humor and a huge imagination with an abound degree of quirk.

Video: “I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week” by Mandy Moore

I must say this song is on heavy rotation here at the loft. It’s a great compromise between Mandy’s organic sound from Wild Hope and her more commercial ditties. If they video is low-budget, give her a break – she’s gone rouge for a former bubblegum popster like her. Amanda Leigh, her upcoming album, is said to have an impressive line of producers.

The father of the the little girl who played the main character’s love interest in Slumdog Millionaire has tried to sell her for 200,000 British pounds to, what the tabloids are alleging now, a so-called “Dubai Sheikh.” No names have surfaced yet and the father has been arrested. There are claims of a video tape arising about that meeting. I just can’t believe that there were two adults that would actually go along in these negotiations to buy a child. And it had to be someone from this part of the world to have no value to human life, or a women’s life, where it come to the actuality that a human life is for purchase, a la the slave trade years. What a shame! I hope the name comes out for all to know. Good thing the actress’s mother informed authorities in time.
