Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead New York Premier TONIGHT!
My BFF and the other half of my band Drunky Brewster choreographed Troma's new feature Poultrygeist and it premiers tonight! She is all over this thing and my crazy little sister also has a cameo. All of tonights shows were sold out but they bumped it to a bigger room so you can still grab tickets for the 7:30 show so move fast!
Meet Lloyd Kaufman, Gabe Friedman & The Stars! (Village East Cinema, 12th St & 2nd Ave, NY)
Fri 5/9 7:30pm & 10pm - TIX AVAILABLE
Sat 5/10 7:30pm
5/9 Afterparty @ Midnight @ Fontana's, 105 Eldridge St, at Grand St in the L.E.SYou can catch some of my girls moves in this clip. The special effects are said to be some of Troma's best yet and I am sure it has something to do with Anouk Whissell and her Le Bagman crew. Anouk and two of her friends made one of my fav shorts of all time, it may be one of my fav movies of all time. The three of them did their own special effects for the short and entered it in Troma Dance (Troma's responce to Sundance). Lloyd Kauffman loved their blood splatter so much he invited them to work on Poultrygeist. I just found out they are making a full length Le Bagman and I can't wait. The short had something like 20-something deaths in less then 20 mins and each one is a peach. Check it:Support Independent Film!

I Know It's Wrong, But It's Still Pretty Funny I was intrigued by the CNN.COM headline this afternoon that read "Judge allegedly napped, made bailiff rub her feet." But when I read on for details of the misconduct allegedly perpetrated by Las Vegas judge Elizabeth Halverson, I kinda started to think she was, well, if not awesome, definitely hilarious. Among the complaints beng leveed against her are accusations that she made her bailiff "put her shoes on her feet, massage her back, cover her with a blanket for naps and make sure her oxygen tank was filled. He says she [also] asked him, 'Do you want to worship me from near or afar?'" Ha! Funny right? But that doesn't even come close to my favorite part of the complaint, the part in which "she allegedly had her husband sworn in so that she could ask him under oath whether he had completed chores at home." C'mon, you know if YOU were a judge you would sooooooo wanna pull all kinds of shit like that. The difference is, Elizabeth Halverson not only IS a judge, but she actually has the ovaries to DO shit like that! It's up to you Vegas. Keep the hilarity and hijinx rolling by supporting her bid for re-election!

Warning! Not For the Squeamish...Rogue Taxidermy
One man's trash is another man's medium. 
Last night I got involved in a back ally group taxidermy project in Chinatown! It was orchestrated by my bro, Nate Hill. That is me in the green sweater digging in. We gathered at a corner on Canal and then crept into an ally. Nate and his crew set up a hands-on chop shop where onlookers were encouraged to push their sleeves up, put some gloves on and play with perserved dead animal parts. Nate gathers the animals from dumpsters in Chinatown and scrapes roadkill off the road in order to cut them up, mix and match and then sew them back together. The smell is the worst part by far. I created a lil somethin somethin but while I was trying to open the mouth on a fish head it clamped onto my glove a pricked my finger. I ain't no pansy but getting bitten by a rolly polly fish head tripped me out a little. I narrated one of Nate's Chop Chop episodes last year so I knew what I was getting into. I don't know which was more nasty though, touching the animals with my own hands or watching Nate work in a small room full of dead animal parts, hot, hot lamps and not nearly enough ventilation. Either way I love found object art, nasty or not! Check out what I think is his most impressive work so far, The A.D.A.M Project.He is also hosting a Chinatown Garbage Tour at the end of the month, dive in if you don't mind getting dirty.

Fashion (cyber)Nation Gals worldwide are going B.A.N.A.N.A.'s over street-style sites and fashion blogs lately and a few issues back (Aug/Sept 07), when we featured some adorable fashion-clad ladies from across the globe, tons of readers wrote in begging us for more! While you can expect a significantly plumper portion of the mag to be dedicated to street trends in upcoming issues, I decided there are just to many budding fashionista's and fashion freaks out there that need to be exposed, and I'm using this as my platform. So I give you this, post Numero Uno, to a weekly (maybe daily) dose of style to devour... Blog or Website: http://explodingspiders.blogspot.com Age: 19 Wanna be the next style maven featured here? Email your best full outfit shots, Name, and answers to the above questions to taram@bust.com
Location: Bronx, NY
What you're wearing: I'm wearing a cardigan I got as a hand me down from my mom, my favorite belt from goodwill, an H&M dress, H&M knee-highs, and suede wedges from my local Nine West outlet shop.
What you're currently obsessed with: Blazers from the little boys section, especially ones with brass buttons or school logos.
Item you're craving: A high waisted leather skirt and the perfect white dress for summer
What inspires your style: Fashion blogs and magazines, but I especially love taking inspiration from my favorite movies and dressing the part of how I imagine specific characters would in real life.
Your fave shop: I love Goodwill! It takes time and effort but you find the greatest gems tucked in between those ugly polyester suits and taffeta bridesmaid dresses.

hot fuzz: treatment 1 So remember the blog post heard 'round the world a while ago that sent a swarm of commentors into a tizzy over a woman's right/obligation/choice to shave or not to shave her nether regions? well, in that same vein, this is the first of an on-going blogroll of updates to keep you, the readers, informed as I take the plunge and have baby bush de-fuzzed for good via laser hair removal. while i respect every gals decision on the matter (because i personally believe you should wear your hair just as you please), I was
blessed cursed with very sensitive skin, and while i've tried precisely every product on the market removed bikini line hair, from depilitories to razors to waxing, my body's natural reaction is to break out in disgusting rashes and bumps, which outside of being no prettier than puke, it really hurts me. And let's just face it, while I made the personal decision to keep most of the hair there, i'm never gonna need those pesky fuckers that overstep the bikini line and billow out the side of your bathing suit. So those babies are going bye-bye for ever in hopes that I can rid myself of that nasty irratation once and for all.

Women for Women International
A BUST must! May 11th is Mother’s Day. Forget the flowers and sappy greeting cards. This year, change it up with a Mother's Day gift donation to Women for Women International. Founded in 1993, Women for Women International works to end the abuse women in war-torn regions around the world endure by helping them transform their lives.
This is no hand-out. Women for Women International provides financial and emotional support, rights awareness and job skills training so the women in our programs can become confident, active citizens. We help women like Elizabeth, who endured beatings from her husband and father because she wouldn't allow them to marry off her primary school-aged daughter just so they could collect the dowry. Elizabeth was cast out of her family and left penniless with 6 children. Today, with the help of Women for Women International, she has a job that allows her to give her daughter the education she deserves. Join us this Mother's Day in honoring Elizabeth and the special women in your life with a Mother's Day Gift donation.
Check out their site now. Together we can change the world one woman at a time!

Your Mom Thanks to Slut Machine over at Jezebel for posted the latest video by our favorite Long Island mom impersonator and writer John Roberts (directed by Clay Weiner). If you've never seen him, check him on Youtube for The Christmas Tree, or Jackie & Debra, My Son is Gay— they are all hilarious! This new one is particularly good, and is a pretty close replica of what will be going on at my house this Sunday. "Listen to me, I told ya, I don't want anything!"

boys need girls.. Ya know how boys loooove their time "with the guys" so much? an idea that frustrates women to no end. Not because we (the ladies) don't devour our girl time just as much, but while most gals tend to crave the attention of a special significant other to feel fulfilled, guys seem content with singledom and hangin' with the boys. Well, i've decided that boys NEED girls in a more severe way than I ever thought possible. I'm sure of it. Because this is what happens when we're not around.... and the thought of it is just quite thanks to the adorable and hilarious gabe at videogum.com for this lead
scary hilarious.
