OBJECTS MAY BE LARGER THAN THEY APPEAR, ETC

ITEM: Marks & Spencer intros a new line of men’s underwear – “frontal enhancement” briefs that offer a greater "side profile" and come with a "hidden front pouch" to "shape and enhance your silhouette".

Like so.



Which I mention mainly to give that Sarah Palin fan the benefit of the doubt and save him further embarrassment. Because, you know, that COULD be what happened there.

On the other hand, given how that worked out for him, I’m not 100% sure there’s still a market for frontal-enhancement underpants. Besides the risk of ending up a viral YouTube hit, there’s also the question of who yr trying to impress with it – and the potential disappointment once they come off.

Then again, if she’s wearing a WonderBra, I guess it all balances out.

BENDING OVER BACKWARDS FOR YR ART

Spotted last month on Orchard Road in Singapore:

A Kate Moss contortion statue.

 
 

It’s by UK artist Marc Quinn, who has done a number of Kate Moss statues.

She’s a modern Sphinx, apparently.

Twisted sister,

DEF "YR FUNNY CHINESE UNCLE" TOUR 2010: EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW

As you may have gathered, living in Hong Kong means I get to travel to a lot of far away and exotic countries.

Like the US, for example.

Well, it’s foreign and exotic to me these days – and increasingly so. That happens when you live in a foreign city longer than you’ve lived anywhere else apart from yr hometown. The culture shock isn’t that big, of course – I speak fluent East Tennessee, and I can drive on the left side of the road pretty well. And even when I was living the US, I often felt like a foreigner in my own country anyway.

Still, it says a lot that this trip, my sister had this exchange with her eight-year-old daughter (my niece):

Niece: Where is Hong Kong, exactly?
Sister: It’s in China.
Niece: Oh. No wonder Uncle John and Aunt Katie look Chinese.
Me: I’m so blogging that.

So there you go. (I know. I had no idea I looked Chinese either.)

Anyway, it was a hectic trip, but a good one in regards to catching up with friends, though sadly a few couldn’t make it (there were an unusual number of business trips and funerals this trip). Either way, I figure I can milk another four (4) blog posts out of it.

Lucky you.

BACKGROUND: The bridal unit and I traveled to three (3) US cities: (1) Maryville-Alcoa, TN to visit my family and a few friends, (2) Nashville, to visit more friends and (3) Chicago, to visit even more friends and get a decent hot dog.

Stand by for bloggery,
