Bitch Slap

No, I did not piss off some girl at a party...This is basically one of the most over the top, hilarious, and offensive works of "film" that I have ever seen in my life. It is kind of a mix of a feminist centered battling a misogynistic centered graphic novel, action film, and soft-core. Essentially, these three girls are super hot and beat up lots of gross men, other chicks, and each other. But don't worry- they also make out. Of course.

Through the awful stereotypes, objectification of women, and other horribly offensive things, I must admit, the movie is quite amusing. From a feminist standpoint.... I'm not even going to try to go there. However, they are all very strong female characters. So that's a plus. And the movie does circulate around their power strength against numerous attempts of masculine control over their bodies and their actions. There we go.

Another fun objective from this post, other than my brief and pointless attempt to describe this movie-there really are no words- is to post a DRINKING GAME To play along while you watch!

Bitch Slap Drinking Game:

• Drink every time there is a slow motion shot
• Drink every time you see a gun (FINISH your drink when the BIG gun comes out)
  
• Drink for lesbian innuendo (FINISH your drink when they do it)
• Drink every time water is poured on one of the girls
• Drink every time there is a completely pointless flash back
• Finish your drink if you make it to the end of the movie, because my friends and I still have not!
  

One of my favorite things

The literal music video for Total Eclipse of the Heart. Too funny for words.

New Drinking Game

So, the other night some of my friends and I decided to have a chill, bro night in. This obviously turned into going out and partying harder later, but the beginning of the night was relatively calm and the creation of a new drinking was born...

P U S S Y!

The concept:
No, this is probably not going where you'd expect.
You know the game HORSE in basketball? Someone takes a shot and if they make it, their opponent has to do the same shot? So you can get tricky like behind the back or under the leg, and the other person has to be able to do it OR they get a letter. In our case, you lose once you have spelled out P U S S Y. I realize our maturity levels are extraordinary.

The Game:
Floor pong! Set up at least three cups in front of you on the floor. It is easiest if you have a chair to sit on right behind your cups facing your opponent(s). Make sure to fill the cups up with something so they don't easily knock over. Now, someone begins by attempting to throw a pong ball into one of their opponent's cups. In order to win, you must be able to make a shot into your opponent's cup that they cannot recreate successfully and therefore will get a letter.

Shot ideas:
Under the leg
Eyes closed
Calling a specific cup (the back left)
Bouncing a specific number of times before entering a cup
Standing and dropping it in
etc!

D&G Ad

This advertisement was from Dolce & Gabbana's fall 2009 campaign but I just stumbled across it and obviously intrigued. Other than Jesus Luz just hanging out there on the right, pretty out of place for the advertisement, I think it's a pretty fascinating piece. Dolce & Gabbana are continually my favorite source of print advertising because of the ways in which they push homoerotic boundaries and play with the viewers subconscious.

This ad especially works hugely with notions of masculinity and, as per usual, plays on sexuality as well. Fun stuff.

Weekend Warrior

Literally feel like the past four nights have been a battle of booze and babes.

(Disclaimer: The babes in the sense that Smith has many, many of them and therefore they have been a part of my weekend)

Anyway, tonight let's chat about the pros and cons of starting your weekend on Wednesday night. Here in Noho, Wednesday night means drag night at Divas downtown. Usually pretty entertaining, cute girls, fun gay men...not such a good idea to attempt a visit sober...and definitely not a great idea if you have class at or before 9 am the next morning. Although this hardly stops anyone.

So, you've hit up Divas on Wednesday: saw some drag, danced around- maybe on stage, and hopefully found a cozy ride home instead of having to brave the chilly fall air. Thursday morning rolls around, you're totally miserable, but hopefully the night before was fun enough to make it worth the headache (remember to drink water throughout the night to prevent this headache!).

Thursday night, party? Why not. If you aren't bound to science labs all day on Friday and instead have the freedom of the 3 day weekend, have some fun! I'm not saying the four day party weekend is a good idea every weekend. No, no, no. It should only be attempted rarely to save your body from complete and utter exhaustion. So, you've committed to Thursday. It's happening. You're raging. Good job. There's always the option to take either Friday or Saturday night off, but that's a bit more tricky as more people are generally up for a good time.

Now, the pros and cons of putting your body through the four-day-warrior-weekend. This is not a serious term, I'm basically referencing the self-label of "warrior" that occurred the other day while talking to my co-DJ (DJ Pearlz) at a hungover brunch.

Pros:

• FUN! Everyone needs a break from school and real life now and then. Kick back. Take some time to relax and play. We all need it.
• Breaking up the week. Why only have fun two nights of the week? Going out on Wednesday keeps you sane from the hellish amount of work and life dramz that can happen during the week.
• Dancing=endorphins! Good for the mind and body!
  

Cons:

• $$$: Going out/liquid refreshments can be expensive
  
• Lack of motivation for school work: exhaustion seeps in and who wants to do a paper outline or read about Bourdieu's stance on the field of education when our beds are oh so comfortable and napping is oh so nice?
  
• Bad life decisions. Always a possibility over the course of that many drunken escapades.

Speaking of bad life decisions, I've chosen to write this post instead of reading Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right... oh well! The night is young!

I miss coffee

No coffee for me today. Missing it. In a stage of my life where today I've decided that I want to own a coffee shop. Mmm coffee.
