Hyperion

You can always count on Late Night With Conan O'Brien for a few cracks at Paris Hilton. It seems the analogies section always ends with a Paris Hilton joke. Final episode of "The Sopranos": lots of guys get aggressively whacked, resulting in a messy loss of bodily fluids ::Paris Hilton:popular hotel heiress

The movie was good for some laughs but the story just sort of lacked any momentum. I liked the high school scene and of course the princess squad but donkey and puss in boots didn't seem to get as many lines as they had in the last movie. All puss in boots seemed to do was his "eyes" twice but I saw that before and I enjoyed it previously. I was expecting this to be a GREAT movie but instead got a good movie. I've been disappointed by all the big budget (Superman Returns, Spider-man 3, X-Men 3) movies in the past few years and this continues the trend. I guess I set my hopes too high.

No one generally knows anything about the Devil Rays. They get no media exposure because of how badly managed they are. As the Yankees continue to flounder, the Rays may get more exposure but only due to the comparison of how bad both teams are. The Dodgers are most likely paying money to the Devil Rays because of revenue sharing and the Devil Rays don't really even spend the money that they get because they are priced out of free agent signings by higher profile teams. Such is life in Tampa.

Cool, what's your major?

I had Russel Martin, Rafael Furcal and Jeff Kent on my fantasy team. I sort of dropped Martin (because I have Victor Martinez) but damn has Martin been on fire. Furcal and Kent not so much. Oh well. I'm a Devil Rays fan and wish the Rays's GM was as good as the Dodgers's GM. I'm still thinking that the Dioner Navarro and Jae Seo trade for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall was a terrible decision. Navarro's batting under .200 and Seo was by far the worst starter in the AL and demoted to the minors. BTW The Devil Rays won today. Nobody cares? FYI James Shields on the Devil Rays has improved to 5-0 and lowered his ERA to 3.08 during a season in which he should have far more wins. He has now exited all 12 of his starts this season with the lead or the game tied, and he has worked seven-plus innings in 10 of his 12 starts, including nine straight.

I had some time on my hands (as usual) and I made these wallpapers. Enjoy.

I hope Hiro doesn't stay in the past too long. Time travel and changing the future can get convoluted and confusing. I mean remember that Futurama episode where Fry went back to the past and had sex with his own mom?

I think they were trying to parallel the vote for "Mars" with the show's cancellation status. Thus by casting a vote for Sheriff Mars the viewer would be urged to vote the save the show. Is that a stretch? Most likely? Unless the writers said what would have happened next season, they never said who won the election.

Hey, I've been doing these sketches of a fantasy fashion show. Alessandra is Batgirl. Check it out. http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?s=&...st&p=865298 And here is a close-up of of her face, but believe me it was really small on paper so it's not that detailed

Thanks cypress and persuazn On another note, I've sort of being doing some sketches over here http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?s=&...st&p=865282 Here is a close-up of one of my sketches of her face: stop by and share your thoughts

Batgirl - Alessandra Ambrosio Same format: the sketch on the left the original image on the right. First Sketch: Second Sketch: Third Sketch:

Character: Batgirl Model: Alessandra Ambrosio Everyone should know who Batgirl is. Most likely because of the craptastic Batman and Robin movie. She's young and playful and yes she can kick some ass. So she has a utility belt because she's related to Batman. I sort of thought that a mask was a little too much for a fashion show though. Who wouldn't want to see the beautiful face of the model. Thus I thought that the bat ears could be on a head band. I was going to go for a bat symbol on a bra which would be nice to look at but instead decided to give her black bra and panties. Her gloves and boots would be yellow. I don't know how well yellow would work though (it's ugly). Then I would give her wings instead of a cape and the wings would make the bat symbol. So less of a direct translation. No bodysuit or anything. Traditional Batgirl costume: I think the model needs to be youthful and have energy. Ale and Izabel come to mind right away. I chose Ale because I play favorites. Sue me.

Invisible Woman - Hana Soukupova Same format: the sketch on the left the original image on the right. My scanner was giving me problems and considering that I will (or should) upgrade the pictures, I'll put even better pictures up at some point. Anyway.. First Sketch: Second Sketch: Third Sketch:

Character: Invisible Woman Model: Hana Soukupova Yeah, so the whole invisibility thing is out of the question of course. And anything plastic to create some effect just seems like too much. Most people should think about the Invisible Woman and then think of the Fantastic Four. So I would work on the '4' motif. I looked around the internet and came up with an old early 90s uniform that she had which (besides being the least practical costume ever) would work in a fashion show and as lingerie. The picture of the costume is below. I don't even think I altered this costume at all. She's blonde and I wanted to pick a blonde model to portray her. She's not exactly a bombshell, meaning that she isn't generally portrayed for T and A (except when Jessica Alba is playing her). She needs to be sophisticated and as such I feel that either Hana or Julia Stegner capture the sophisticated look very well. I ultimately chose Hana though.

Fairy tales would work. I was thinking about some Disney related concept at some point but my current task has left me focusing more on the present. I guess it would just be a name the Disney movie and pick the princess character. But there would definitely be Anastasia and Mulan to add to the list.

Natalia

Cintia.

Gisele is a Brazilian, you can't beat the Brazilians, so I have to go with her.

Julia

Bianca. Redundancy can be good.

Did anyone see the meltdown by the Mississippi Braves manager? The rosin bag toss is a classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ciaR9Xv6c
