It has never really been my language to say “Douchbags”. But after spending this summer in San Diego at The Del Mar Race Track I can see what people are talking about. (Of course, I am not refering to The Turf Club at The Del Mar Race Track, which is one of the last bastions of class in this town.)
There has to be a backlash against this whole “Douchbags” phenomenon, ie frosted hair, Affliction Shirts, Ed Hardy, Bottle Service, wrist bands, ripped designer jeans, fake tans, dog tags…the whole “I am rebel but I buy my image from a mall” stilo. You know, the whole “I am tough but deep down really gay” steez.
The Backlash can’t come soon enough.
Hell, its enough to make someone want to move permanently to Buenos Aires.

“Ruslana Korshunova, 20, whose face has graced the cover of French Elle and Russian Vogue, apparently jumped from her ninth-floor apartment in her Water Street building in the Financial District just before 2:30 p.m.”
Eliot Spitzer’s statement, allegedly involved in a Prostitution Ring
Govenor Elliot Spitzer (D-N.Y.) stated in a very brief statement, today, that he had violated the obligations he had to his family and the people, though he offered nothing about a report that he was involved in a high-end prostitution ring (probably a good move overall). As a customer, I am assuming.
“I am disappointed that I failed to live up to the standard I set for myself,” Spitzer said. “I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family.”
Talk of him vacating his post is rampant.
Eliot Spitzer’s statement 3/10/08
Is it just me, or is Spitzer getting railroaded here. I know he has a ton of enemies.
I have heard the guy speak in person and thought he was a pretty cool cat. Defending the little guy and all. A Peoples Champ of sorts. (Come to think of it, I think I have a photo of myself and Spitzer somewhere.)
He should have been Governor of Amsterdam, then he wouldn’t run into these problems.
Anna Loginova, Model and Bodyguard, killed, unfortunately
The fly Anna Loginova was killed trying to stop a thief stealing her Porsche on a busy Moscow street.
As a glamour model, 29-year-old Loginova often appeared on the covers of Russian magazines, looking dope. She fronted advertisements for German carmaker BMW.
Loginova ran an agency for female bodyguards, some trained by the ex-KGB, to give discreet protection to Moscow’s billionaires and their wives and mistresses.
Her most well known client was Russian boxing champion Kostya Tszyu.
Three things:
1. The Russians don’t play.
2. Female bodyguard agency – great business idea.
3. I am always saddened when models die. Female ones that is.
Wesley Snipes, Bronx, was found guilty Friday on three misdemeanor charges of failing to file tax returns — but more importantly, jurors cleared him of more serious felony charges of tax fraud and conspiracy.
Snipes looked at a five year stretch in prison on both the conspiracy and fraud charges. He was found guilty of only half — three out of six — of the failure to file charges. He faces a maximum one-year sentence on each but most likely will get less.
Snipes, pretty dapper throughout the trial, was suited down in a black suit, smiled and thanked well-wishers outside the courthouse — walking with his hands held in a prayer position (good style). He did not make a statement or take questions from the media (good move).
Snipes, was an actor in two G Manifesto Certified Classics, “New Jack City” and “King of New York”.
