Harriet Housewife Women's Magazine Advertisements

 

Recently got a new camera. These photos came from photo shoot #2. It started off as a silly idea about misusing household appliances...but then somehow transformed into a dark social commentary on consumerism and traditional gender rolls. Really odd how that happened. Pictures came out pretty, though.

Harriet Housewife needs to put a ring on it in the first pic.

I know, I know! We realized that like the day after we took the pictures. Oops!

What I'm Thankful For: Carl Winslow, Sliced Pineapple, and the Dollar Store (i.e., my early Thanksgiving Post)

 

If you're intrigued, then you can read the full LAS VEGAS WEEKLY story by clicking HERE. And here's the introduction...

If you watched sitcom television in the 1980s, you probably remember that on Thanksgiving you’re supposed to go around the dinner table and say what you’re thankful for. You probably also remember that, ultimately, the only acceptable thing for which you can be thankful is “family.”

Yet, saying you’re “thankful for family” is kind of like saying you enjoy eating pizza or that you’re attracted to Megan Fox—it goes without saying. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with eating pizza or desiring Megan Fox in moderation. But if you spend all your time eating pizza in fantasyland, you’ll never make it to the new Hawaiian restaurant down the street, which is particularly unfortunate for you, seeing as the cute server who works there just broke up with her boyfriend.

This analogy carries over. When you say you’re “thankful for family” every Thanksgiving, your gratitude muscle atrophies. So earlier this week I ventured out into this uncertain city to find a new person, a new place and a new thing for which I could be thankful.





I see you made no mention of

I see you made no mention of our conversation regarding this topic. I guess censorship is another thing to be thankful for :/

Pete's Piano Bar at Town Square

 

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar opened at Town Square this week. I went on opening night and had a really fun time. Those piano players have more shtick than a Liberace impersonator doing a kids party. And the audience ate it up. Hopefully I'll get a chance to audition to be a piano player there before I leave for Chicago/Michigan next week. What a fun, fun job that'd be....

Eating 1/2 a Banana

 

Who does this? Who eats HALF a banana? My roommate, apparently. And it's gross; they get all brown and mushy...and who wants to eat that? My roommate, I guess. Anyway, I saw this in WalMart yesterday, so I got it for her. A banana saver. Save The Bananas!





Time to write a new post -

Time to write a new post - that banana has to be really icky by now.

The Poker Player Who Wouldn't Shut Up

The trouble wasn't that the guy wouldn't shut up; the trouble was that everybody at the table (except for me, obviously) was EATING UP everything this guy was saying. "I'm a professional gambler. I'm a sports bettor. The reason I look ten years younger than I am is that I sleep with a different woman every night." That sort of thing. And EVERYBODY was buying it. At first I assumed they were just egging him on, but it soon became clear they were drinking the Kool-Aid. The guy won about $100, but he was VERY, VERY lucky. Catching all sorts of good cards. The end.
