She comes off as genuinely sweet, sunny and slightly dim, her punkette look the thinnest candy coating over an interior filled primarily with airy, whipped pink goo and nuvo-hippie, gestalt-y wow-ness.

i rode to the park yesterday with the intention of doing multiple (alright, i admit it: 10) laps, but after 1, i realized that i’m not a hamster wheel kind of rider. i actually prefer riding in the street, stopping and starting, weaving through traffic occasionally, staying on my toes always. instead, i found a new route to my house, had a driver threaten to follow me in some attempt at a come on (huh? really?) then headed to manhattan.
beyonce is, single-handedly, keeping black female dancers employed - two at a time…
I actually started modeling first. Because I had been a club kid. I dressed in trendy clothes. I had these different crazy hair styles. When I got cut I started wearing all black clothes I cut off all my hair. I was on my Seal tip. You know back then people would ask him, what are those scars on your face? Tribal markings. And I thought, that’s what I’ll do. I’m going to cut my hair bald, and if anyone ever asks, it’s tribal markings.

I’m not one of the best riders in the world. I don’t have the possibility to win a big Tour. But I’m still ambitious and I’m happy with my career so far.
– Thomas Voeckler, re: winning stage 5 of the Tour de France today, but being 138th overall. Félicitations!no! i take supreme pride in my knowledge of all station exits and the train cars that correspond to them. iphone app: get out of my head!
