(Low culture fun from T&P without even a mention of a certain beleaguered pop princess)
Hat tip to Sarah van Schagen at Grist for this one. Hopelessly hooked I am! ‘specially after several of MTV’s season per day America’s Next Top Model marathons this summer. Well, according to Entertainment Weekly, it looks like Tyra, J., and Jay of ANTM are morphing into ANGM this season! Strut this:
“The transportation was a ‘green’ car with biodiesel fuel. The house went green not only aesthetically but in terms of the way energy was used and in tips that we gave all of the girls in the house in terms of using water and electricity.” Drink it and turn it off, respectively, gals
Good on them. Here’s the teaser for the 9th season:
Cultural whiplash warning: Led Zeppelin just announced a November reunion in London.
The show will be held November 26 in London.Tickets will cost 125 pounds ($254.30), available by ballot only with winners’ names chosen at random.
Tickets were not made available on a first come first serve basis. Instead, they went with a lottery layout. Not surprisingly the rush of 20 million middle-aged ticket buyers (at the rate of 80,000 per minute) clamoring for a spot in the lottery crashed the site. The site is still down as of this writing but if you’re interested, here’s the link.
ANTM to Led Zep…What’s the connection? Well, it occurs to me that the tickets, at a cost of 125 pounds, will cost more than the the weight of one model, but that’s the best I can do for a bridge between subjects or even a stairway to heaven.
Hello and congrats to the prancing ponies at DD!! The place looks/feels fab.

Lynxgirl? I ope she writes to Inslee.
I know, you’re a person in your own right, not just a mom.
Zep in London? And then $250 more? Let’s see, that would just about get me through four or five hellacious nights at Celtic Connections. Seems like a much better deal.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
i can hardly think of two more opposite ends of the pop-culture spectrum…and you found a way. well played!
im ‘top model’ illiterate, but i want to play….what’s ANTP? i didnt get that.
I am thinking that it will not be just a one off in the end.
Voodoo Lounge was looking like the last Stones tour – and look what’s happened since.
