Oddities

Any readers watching this show on The Science Channel? I'm simply obsessed with it. It chronicles the shop Obscura In New York City, an quirky antiques store that sells things from quack twentieth century medical equipment to deformed taxidermied animals. The shop's customers are frequently included, among them an artist who paints in his own blood, side-show performers, multiple contortionists, and a lot of well-known celebrities like Amy Sedaris and Chloe Sevigny. The real stars are the items in the shop, including some of which I love, such as an antique blood transfusion kit, a Victorian-era hair sculpture, and an exploded skull. In fact, the resident bone expert, Ryan, who creates the Beauchene skulls, is swoon-worthy, in my not-so-humble opinion. His realm of knowledge is also staggering.

The owners, Mike and Evan, are extremely personable and knowledgeable about their wares. The show is in a new season airing on Saturday nights and is frequently shown in marathons. I never seem to tire of watching. The next time I visit NYC, this will be my first stop.

Sweetie

Did she really say this? Who the hell knows. Did it make me laugh in a most unladylike fashion? You bet.

Hysterical

Tina Fey Talks Booty

Her book Bossypants, is insightful, hysterical, and wonderfully written. Where ever she is, I want to go to there.
