Alotta Eva: Eva Longoria's Undercover B-movie



No, this is not a vignette from Ugly Betty. But indeed Eva Longoria in a real film released not long before the Desperate Housewife years. This film has all the right ingredients. Picture this .. An innocent girl .. in the wrong place .. at the wrong time .. blamed for a crime she didn't commit. Desperate to hide her identity .. she starts a new life .. in Miami's hottest nightclub. Oh and did I mention she is a flaming lesbiano?

Movie On the Radar: Notorious, The life and death story of Notorious B.I.G.



I'm always interested in learning about how people go from virtual obscurity to unbelievable success or fame.

Plush Disturbia: Knitting for Psychos

Underwater Alien Sculptures - Jason de Caires: UK

Instead of trying to create unchanging and lasting works, Jason de Caires encourages the organic growth of coral and other organisms across his creations. The texture, chemical composition and design actively encourage the settlement of embryonic corals. Areas of shelter and void space provide a… Continue
