How the Mind Works…….

How the Mind Works…….

A practical example of how the human mind works.

How the mind works

Analysis of the above picture can tell us a lot about how different people think.

– For young men, it’s a picture of a young lady with a nice derriere but only the most observant will notice that she is crossing a street.

– The really observant will notice that she is wearing a thong.

– For older men, she appears to be a respectable woman – with a fairly large ass – probably on her way to work.

– Wiser men will ponder the presence of mind of the photographer to take the shot in the face of such beauty and be grateful that he shared it.

– For half of the women, this is an ordinary woman who should not have left home dressed that way.

– The other half will think she is a slut but wonder where she bought that blouse

– Older women will imagine the misery that the woman’s curves will cause by the time she reaches 50.

-But only children, the extremely intelligent, and the celibate will notice that the taxi is being driven by a dog

Kate Upton on Vogue Italia November 2012: Seductive

OK ladies this is my blog.   I get to post what I want.  I am getting tired of politics.  I am looking forward to Tuesday November 6 so that we can focus on other things.  One thing to focus on is pretty models.  This is posted under Happiness and Good Mood because seeing a pretty girl do a modeling of clothes makes me happy.

Shopping in London or Paris – It’s Really the Mall of America

We just visited London and Paris in the last week of August.  To our surprise many of the stores are the same brands we see at our local indoor upscale malls.  What a disappointment!

 Steven Erlanger wrote about this very same disappointment in his September 14, 2012 piece in the N.Y. Times.  His article titled “The Champs-Élysées, a Mall of America” points out that you can see the same old stores you saw back home on this boulevard that was supposed to be “the most beautiful avenue in the world.”  The same stores are also seen on Oxford Street and elsewhere in London.

You know – the Gap, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie & Fitch, H&M, and Tiffany & Company.  The only stores missing were Macy’s and Neiman Marcus.

Champ Elysee next to McDonald’s

Mr. Erlanger’s article included pictures of street vendors selling junk from sidewalk blankets outside McDonald’s.  That is an accurate depiction.  The above photo was taken by me on August 30, 2012. 

There is a 15 minute wait for food service in McDonald’s and that busy store is short on available tables.  A 50 something French woman standing in front of me said she loves McDonald’s.

Actually the variety of unique retailers was more interesting in Toronto’s Eaton Centre.

Ariel The Little Mermaid Gets Plastic Surgery In Questionable New Ad (PHOTO)

This from Huff Post Style is mild compared to the pornographic takes on many cartoon characters.

Surely a Disney princess, she of the impossibly bouncy hair and whittled waist, doesn’t need any work done, right?

Well, don’t ask a plastic surgeon that, because apparently, the iconic Little Mermaid was a prime candidate for few procedures (OBVIOUSLY! She’s such a hag.) BuzzFeed’s Copyranter spotted this ad from Clinica Dempere, a plastic surgery center in Venezuela, who decided to give Ariel the old nip and tuck anyway in a new spot for their services.

Watch as Ariel escapes from the evil Ursula. What does she do next? Beelines it to the operating table, where, sprawled out before a beckoning surgeon, she gets her wishes granted without giving away her magic voice box.

So, what procedures did the Little Mermaid opt for? She seems to have gotten the full “Real Housewives” treatment with a boob job and a widened pout. And somehow, the doctors in Venezuela managed to sculpt a pair of sexy human legs outfitted with stilettos out of her mermaid tail. It’s so magical!

While people have tried to digitally slim down other “Mermaid” characters in the past, the introduction of cosmetic surgery into the pot is definitely an even more somber message to young girls. The clinic’s ad is surely an attempt to be cute, but seriously, Ariel: you look great under the sea as is.
