Expressionist, apparently: The artist is selling her interpretation of The Girl With The Pearl Earring on Etsy and says: “I was inspired by the Vermeer painting. In my painting the pearl earring is a pearly button which is echoed in the button detailing on the corners. I have done my best to keep the colors true but it could vary from monitor to monitor.” Go here.
Sincere and heartfelt: A letter to my dead girlfriend, posted on Craigslist.
Video Link: C4s Phil Bostwick interviews a kid about the jumping off the Kopu Bridge – now that’s a sound bite!
Geek Chic: Star Trek wetsuits …”This is the ultimate in warmth and exposure protection when exploring strange new worlds!”
Making hay: The wizened torso Iggy Pop was trotted sold out for an over-hyped Orcon promotion here last year and now according to Media Bistro’s Agency Spy he’s “betraying his blood-soaked punk roots” by hawking car insurance for UK-based company Swiftcover.
Video: A turtle has an orgasm. You only need to see this once.

Re – Iggy Pop. Swiftcover (the insurance co.) got some flack because they won’t actually insure any musicians in real life. In the ads Iggy is going on about how easy it is to get car insurace – apparently all it takes is 30sec.

Never buy the red Star Trek wetsuit. We all know what happens to red-shirts in ST:TOS.
You’d probably get eaten by a shark or sucked into a swirling vortex within seconds of entering the water.

Someone needs to tell the maker of the turtle porn that it’s not really porn if they’re fully clothed.
