POPSThe last bit... of idiocy... If Barak O is a Muslim, he must be a bad one -- since he's pro-choice and pro-same-sex marriage. But the average conservative "joe six-pack" doesn't think past the slogans... Apparently, not even when he's writing them out for a bill-board.

POPSHot New Steampunk Couture! Steampunk Couture is the result of a beautiful marriage of Neo-Victorian wear and our post-apocalyptic future. "Born wet and wide-eyed as a literary genre near the end of the last century, "steampunk" is just a word encompassing a litany of sins. The flagrant coupling of Victorian aesthetic, and phantastic technology. A dash of swashbuckle, a pinch of pathos, simmer until stirred or disturbed. Haberdashery sprung fully-formed from brandishing bustles, boots, and bodices (or monocles, spats, moustaches,) in shades of sepia, dashes of dun, blinks of black, coils of copper, illums of ivory, and jots of jewel-tone. Motifs meander from gearwheels to jacquard, stopping off at morbid, metallic, or romantic along the way. Accessorize with your favorite protective headwear. Let Kato, artist and craftist, escort you through her vogue's gallery of gamine garb. Tops, bottoms, and side-to-sides fit for adventure aloft

POPSKara Walker Art Exhibit "My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor" I had the good fortune to see Kara Walker's exhibit at the Hammer Museum hear in Los Angeles. I'm not an artist, nor do I have an educational background in art, but I have to say I was beyond impressed with her work. Her pieces are undoubtedly controversial, especially in an era where I've actually heard people say out loud "There is no racism" and "forget slavery...it was so long ago!" Her artwork, a mix of murals, sketches, wall projections, puppetry, and video made me think deeply about the existence -both past and present- of oppression in the forms of racism and patriarchy. I proudly hale Kara Walker as one bad ass Invincible Sista.

POPSGold nanoparticles go couture They say the difference in price is like comparing a Toyota with a BMW What is a surprise, is the number of colours that result. Other metal compounds can have particular colours, such as the red of lead or iron oxide (rust), the blue of Copper nitrate, and while silver nitrate has been used in photography, This is the first time colours have been drawn from Gold and silver in this way. One of the reasons Gold is so expensive, apart from it's history, and the futures market, is because it has so many applications.

POPSDunkin Donuts Goes Completely Insane There are certain times in history that make us look back and wonder, "how is it possible that civilized people behaved in such craven and irrational ways?" The Salem Witch trials, for instance. The present moment will likely be looked back on as another such time. Case in point: Dunkin Donuts just pulled an ad in which TV cook Rachael Ray wore a scarf that somewhat resembled a traditional Palestinian head dress -- because imbalanced bloggers accused the company of promoting terrorism. I'll skip speculating on the sheer pandering nuttiness of Dunkin's decision, to point out merely what a dumb business decision this was. It's a global company. There are 1.3 billion Muslims out there. The math is simple.

POPSNew France Law: Thin Models Illegal!
The bill reflects concerns about pro-anorexic (so-called pro-ana) websites, said to encourage extreme weight loss. But Boyer said the legislation's impact would be wide-ranging. The bill is the latest in a series of measures to be proposed following the 2006 anorexia-linked death of a Brazilian model prompted efforts to tackle eating disorders within the fashion industry. Didier Grumbach, president of the influential French Federation of Couture, said: "Never will we accept in our profession that a judge decides if a young girl is skinny or not skinny. That doesn't exist in the world, and it will certainly not exist in France." Marleen S Williams, a psychology professor at Brigham Young University in Utah, who researches the media's effect on anorexic women, said it was almost impossible to prove that the media causes eating disorders. She said studies showed fewer eating disorders in "cultures that value full-bodied women". But she added that she fears the new French law,
