THE GAY BOMB

In a document uncovered by the sunshine project (LINK), U.S. Air Force (LINK) research laboratory in Ohio in 1994 made a proposal to develop a variety of bombs of uncommon ordinance (at a cost of $7.5 million), including: [...Read more +/-]

  • a "flatulence bomb," which would stink so badly as to drive the enemy out of its hiding places;
  • a "sweat bomb," which would make the enemy sweat profusely;
  • a "halitosis bomb," which would plague soldiers with bad breath...

But, the coup de grĂ¢ce was the bomb now colloquially referred to as the "gay bomb." Using a hypothetical aphrodisiac of remarkable potency, the bomb would spray the enemy with a substance that would quite literally turn them gay, causing the soldiers to become "irresistibly attracted to one another" and, we can only assume, forget that they were in the process of being bombed..

5 NEW YORKERS WHO WEAR ONLY ONE COLOR

Ever had those days when you just don't know what colour would look good on you? The universe is filled with a spectrum of colours - some O' so lovely and some we just dare not speak. So many choices and so limited budget. [click to read more +/-]

Anyhow, it's Spring Fashion 2008 and New York Magazine (LINK) caught up with 5 New Yorkers who think One is a lovely colour to stick with and thus end up wearing the same colour all day, every day (and it's not black).


First is, Valeria "ValBlu" McCulloch who is a Shoe Designer and wears Yves Klein blue (LINK). Look at her closet, feels like Niagara Falls.




Rebecca Turbow who is a Fashion Designer and wears only Gray (LINK). She's cute.



Karim Rashid who is an Industrial Designer and wears white half the time, and (wait for it....) pink half the time (LINK). Pink??? Dude, pink???



Elizabeth Sweetheart who is a Fabric Designer and wears Kelly green (LINK). Sweetheart, someone is green with envy...



Stephin Merritt who is a Singer / Songwriter and wears brown (LINK). I can only imagine your lyrics... give me some brown sugar..





I have a friend who once wore only shades of grey and black, but that was just a phase, I think. To each his own, I guess. So what's you favourite colour? And would you be willing to wear it all day, everyday for ever and ever...?
